Is the frame worth €700?
I checked out this frame about 4-5 years ago when it was available on Gumtree in London. Sadly it was too big for me, but the frame was a beaut. The price was quite a bit cheaper back then, but there has been a Columbus Max mark-up over the last few years....

Rode with a quick chap on a black fixed with bull horns this evening at around 5.20, heading South on the A56 through Sale and then on Park Rd.
"Hello" if you're "on here" - you were a good pathfinder...

Emyr on Cow Lane heading towards Ashley on his polo bike this morning...

I don't think he was at the presentation and I didn't know anything about him during the race as Ultan gave me enough to worry about. If that's his first 24hr he bloody smashed it!
I think it was his first 24hr. He did have a stab at London-Bath-London a few years back though (John Woodburn's record) and put in a creditable performance, IIRC.

Congratulations Hippy, top drawer.
Did you get to speak to my old S London neighbour, Alex Kirk (he's a great chap)?

(Saddle and Carradice SQR block will be removed)Sizing – I’m 6’ 2” and the bike is set up for me at this height in the photo below, but the frame is too small for me along the top-tube for fixed TTs...I’d suggest this would better suit someone in the 5’10” to 6’0” range.
I’m based in Wilmslow but the bike can also be inspected in Salford Quays, Mon to Fri. 9-5, if you let me know in advance.

Me, commuting to Knutsford.
I'd ride a proper bike but the BB axle length for the cranks I bought on eBay was misquoted...
Hello! I'm the tall, bald chap on the black touring bike who passes you going in the opposite direction. I usually wave...
Glad you're on the mend, itsbruce. Take it easy.
