Price drop, and here's a pic of it with some carbon wheels.
-
They say this the peak of rim brake frames, and I originally got this with a plan to do a weight weenie build with 11sp eTap and eeBrakes but thanks to a pothole with my other bike this became my only functional bike and honestly the Ultegra groupset has been so flawless it's hard to justify replacing it. Unfortunately I now could do with the money more than a super light bike so this has to go.
The frame is 52cm in the bold Acid Pink Camo colourway. The steerer has been cut so other than the sizeable headset cover it's slammed. The frame is in great condition albeit a few cable rubbing marks on the head tube and here is a mark on the side of the chainstay — I've included a photo to show this, but it's hard to see unless the bike is upside down.
- Groupset is 11sp Ultegra but with the newer (non-debonding and cracking) 12sp crankset. Other important numbers are: 172.5mm, 52/36, and 11-28t.
- Wheels are Mavic Krysiums with 25mm GP4S tyres.
- The jockey wheels have been replaced with CeramicSpeed versions(!) by the previous owner.
- Bars are 42cm Specialized Expert Alloy Shallow Bend Handlebars, in need of new tape!
- Stem is some kind of Specialized alloy 90mm stem with Garmin out front mount.
- Saddle is Specialized Romin (I think?) with carbon rails, it has a small rip in the side (see the photo).
- No pedals or bottle cages included.
Hopefully that covers everything. I also have the parts to convert this to wireless shifting (the alu cover plate for the down tube and the bottom bracket cover) and the adapter for smaller frames to fit eeBrakes if you want to go down that route.

Had the cranks been 170mm I'd have snapped them right up.

I reckon that's exactly why these doors are all secured solely by a magnet, these property developers have tons of red tape for fire safety so it's by far the easiest (and cheapest) solution.

I'm not--it's a lot easier to wheel bikes without locks still attached.
True.
It sounds like mainly a design issue, then, so the door clearly needs beefing up, but of course that won't change the apparent fact of how easy it is to access once the gate is climbed (and how easy it is to get back out of the gate once inside?).
Once over the gate you can press the button to get out. You need to do some climbing to get to the bike room but it's not hard. They've been talking about putting spikes or whatever on top for ages.
Anyway, not much to be done now, keep your loved ones/bikes close!
Summer appears to be over. I have these unused Lake CXZ176 winter shoes in size 43 which have only been tried on and have never had cleats fitted.
I am normally a size 43 wide in Lake shoes but it turns out even on Lake's own website they recommend a size up for these, which I didn't read before buying in January: https://www.lakecycling.com/products/cxz-176
