Since owning the bike I have had to change the brake pads, find and buy replacement parts for the brakes that were missing (securing nuts for the counter lever). I also purchased a replacement campagnolo rear mech as the one fitted was making some undesirable noises and as the bike is it such lovely condition I thought it was a shame to leave it sounding anything but smooth. In total these items probably cost me around £37 so I thought adding £25 was fairer than adding £37 as I understand it was my choice to swap the parts even though it needed them.
I apologise i didn't put this on the advert but I saw no need to go In to such tiny detail especially when this is a trusted and friendly group of people, I presumed people wouldn't jump to a conclusion that I'm trying to money grab but In future I will try to make it perfectly clear in the advert, I will put the price at £525 and I shall take the loss of the parts I fitted.

I have for sale my lo pro TT bike the infomation below I have copied and pasted from the gentleman I purchased the bike from but nothing has changed on the bike since my ownership.
Reynolds 653 Frame and Fork are both handmade by Brian Rourke in Stoke and belong together. The frame has those beautiful Rourke lugs and wraps and has for Rourke Standards a very unusual bend close to the seat tube - I've only seen one other frame of this geometry before so far. The size is ST and TT 58 cm. I bought it from the original owner, who had it made for him in '94. The frame is in almost pristine condition, only very minor scratches and a tiny chip on the TT. In general, the bike has barely been ridden, as he used it only as his second tri bike at the time and stored it since.
Wheels are Campagnolo Zonda Clinchers on Campagnolo Hubs, front 650 and rear 700, with Borntrager Tyres. I've rarely seen them in such nice condition, the front wheel has a minor dinc, but that's it.
Drivetrain is fully Campagnolo Avanti, I'll get the teeth count to you asap (52 -42 front and 12- 19 rear, 8 speed)
Brakes are a bit of a mystery, they look like a prototype version of early 90s Tektros, I presume they have been modified or customised.
Cockpit: The tribar is from Profile Design with aero bar and based on a Campagnolo Headset. Shifters are campagnolo indexed for the cassette and friction shifters in the front. The aluminium seat post was manufactured by ULTIMATE USE in Bury (I'll also add a spare one, which is a bit shorter than the one I have), with matching shim. standard San Marco saddle fitted.The bike will come with the pedals in the last pictures as these are the ones it come with the toe clips are a pair that will go onto my next bike
I paid £525 for the bike and I'm asking £525 for it please do let me know if you would like anymore pictures or info, collection from pewsey, Wiltshire or I can possibly meet in London on a weekend.
Thanks in advance, Oscar.
