I'm selling my bike because of a move.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11935580/bike.JPG
Here is the parts breakdown - as you can see Iʼve pretty much chosen the best parts I could find concentrating on quality & strength. This thing will last forever, with regular tune ups and care.
The frame could use a lick of new paint, and the parts could use a nice clean in the process.
Note that some idiot stole my Brooks saddle and seat post the other day, hence someone would have to pick it up along with these two components or push the bike home.
I'm asking for GBP600.00 ONO.
Pickup from a North London location, preferably this Saturday or Sunday.
Parts breakdown:
frame - Mercian Super Vigorelli Track Frame in Reynolds 853 Steel

I'm leaving London and am selling my bike which was sold to me by a close friend and bike aficionado a year ago. I didn't use it that much frankly.
He bought all the parts new except for the frame, for which he paid GBP350 about two years ago.
The parts breakdown follows - as you can see he's pretty much chosen the best parts he could find concentrating on quality & strength. This thing will last forever, with regular tune ups and care. The frame could use a lick of new paint, and the parts could use a nice clean in the process. I bought new and decent tyres a few weeks ago.
My saddle got "removed" two weeks ago - at night, on a lively junction while we were having beers. The buyer would have to bring his own saddle and seatpost. Pick-up in North London, preferably asap as I'm moving out.
I'm asking for GBP600 ONO.
