Last call on this before eBay. Final price drop to £1500.

Bump and a slight price drop for the midweek crowd

I'm 177cm, average proportions, saddle height is ~72cm iirc (though can check easily if needed).
Per the Mason website I should be on a 54, but I found that a touch too high at the front end and I prefer the look of having a bit more post showing. I think there's only 2mm difference in reach as well.

I’m selling my Mason Bokeh, size 52, in grey.
The bike is about 2 years old and has done me absolutely sterling service on all surfaces.
The bike has a brand new (ridden twice) SRAM Rival 1x groupset (40, 11-42).
Wheels are handbuilt, by Malcolm Borg of The Cycle Clinic on Bitex hubs. Tyres are brand new Specialized Pathfinder Pro, set up tubeless.
Finishing kit is good quality alloy: Zipp XPLR bars, Prime stem, Cinelli VAI seatpost. The steerer is cut and running a 10mm spacer, but there’s room for ~15mm.
The frame does have a few cosmetic marks associated with normal use – see pics – but is in essentially very good condition. There’s no work at all needed; the groupset, chain, brake pads etc are all brand new, as is the bar tape, as is the bottom bracket.
All in all this would be a really solid, no nonsense, gravel/cx/audax bike for someone (which is exactly what it was for me).
I’m asking £1600 collected from Tring in Hertfordshire. I’m not willing to split I’m afraid.
I’m not keen on posting but might be able to drive for up to an hour to meet a buyer. Tring station is also within easy riding distance of my house so that’s an option as well.
Any questions please ask.

Johnson and the Pro-Brexit wing of the Tories have culled all talent and experience. Whether you agree with their politics or ability of the previous crop, we're talking about a totally different league of incompetence.
This is the key point. From Johnson onwards, the only selection criterion for a cabinet position has been a perceived loyalty, be that to an individual, a policy or an ideology. At least partly as a result, we have a government that has been so palpably lacking in actual competence it has been incredible. It also means that utterly egregious violations of various codes (be they ministerial, moral, or criminal) have been consistently overlooked.
Add in generally cynical, dog-whistle, gammon policies, a bit of bad luck, and we are where we are.
It is very, very hard to believe that a not terribly gifted group of year 9s would make a worse job, much less a labour government. There are absolutely criticisms to make of Starmer and co, but from my perspective (slightly left of centre Dad) they are the only credible offering as matters stand, and a lot would have to change for that to be different, IMO.

At the most basic level, because that's what he can charge and still fill his order book, as others have noted (economics 101: an item is worth what someone will pay).
You're also paying for experience, expertise, and (perhaps most significantly) the brand name/vibe/symbolism that goes with it. In the same way as the price of almost any very high end discretionary purchase is much less about cost of production, and much more about the perceived value to the buyer.
As I think I posted earlier in this thread, whether or not that's worth it is wholly subjective.
Former CX racer, now recovered. I spend too much time and money on bikes.
