Mate of mine asked me to put this up for sale. he just bought a Dodge DayVan for a euro trip experience and now he is a bit strapped for cash.
At the moment he is taking offers, so pm me if you are interested. he is based west of london.
He built it up a few months ago and never got to use it. Some parts are new, some old. But very nice!
Spec from what i remember:
Frame and Fork: Raleigh Volant, 56cm (i think)
Wheels: Formula sealed bearing hubs, DT black spokes twisted lacing, Velocity deep v black.
Saddle: Brooks B-17 blackHere's a picture.
