i've added many pictures and description on the link below, still confused as to why i still own this but if any of you are interested please take a look.
It's a trek 2.3 road bike, 56cm top and seat tube, in black / silver / white paintwork, price wise looking for £800ono was £1300 new, one year old and around one months worth of use as was fair weather bike (we know we had a bad year for weather ..)

hi youth & Slaz, i think your frames are a little on the large side for me...
hi Kay, this is more my side but onfortunatley it's just frame, i'm looking for a complete bike ideally..
I've seen this but i'm guessing it's a load of pap with no brade name and just "high tensile steel" frame material.... (and colour is just awful....

ok i really want to try a single speed road bike with some bomb proof wheels (many spokes) and a flip flop rear hub with one fixed and one free wheel setup style, probably looking on the smaller setup with ease of mind for climbing hills (maybe 42 / 16/18 ?? :-).
i'm looking to buy this for some leisurely touring rides and the odd flattish moderate ride, looking for puncture protection if possible tyre wise and handle bar style prefer the charge bull horn look and feel, ideally with brakes both front and rear due to the "freehub" element of use.
i plan to ride free hub in a group while trying out fixed when on a solo ride out.
if someone has a ideal fit sitting around not being used give me a shout, i'm not in any real rush but it's something on my list to get, i live in Berkshire and around 35-55 mins drive away from m25 motorway. ideally local if possible .. price wise as useual cheap as possible...
also forgot to add i need the geometry style that means my feet will miss the front wheel when pedaling and turning the front wheel (some older bikes are so close that your toes catch the wheel when doing so)

Reason for sale is i'm moving away from MTB and getting more into Road / Velo cycling, once i sell a couple of my mtb's i'll be permitted by the better half to pruchase a fixie :-)
i just read, and was not aware, but i don't have any friends on here who can put it into the craigslist area... it's just simply offering to people who may be interested, it's a cracking bike but since i left the racing club and joined a touring club i no longer need it. in fact i'm looking for a single speed road and a cyclocross disc specific now..
