Hello
After moving to a smaller flat and taking ownership of a new race bike, I have to regretably sell my beloved Litespeed Archon C2
This is an absolutely fantastic bike.. Eye-catching, light, stiff, fast and wonderfully sure-footed. The frame is an aero-road type (in a similar vein to the Cervelo Soloist line) and is the standard Litespeed Medium size. The frame has an integrated seat post, which is cut to 72cms (measuring from the bottom bracket to the top of the saddle), which can be extended a further 2cms.
It would suit a rider between 5'6 through till 5'9 (it can obviously also be cut lower, but the frame might get a little long for a rider shorter than 5'4ish)
The bike is in fantastic condition - it has been extremely well maintained, always stored indoors and in total it has only done approximately 4000kms.
The bike comes with the following componentry:
Shimano Dura_Ace 7900 Shifters, front/rear brakes, front/rear Mechs and chain
Shimano Ultegra 11-25 Cassette
Full Speed Ahead SL-K Light standard Crankset (39-53) and Carbon Cranks
FSA Stem
Prologo Saddle and Alloy handlebars
Fulcrum Racing 1 Wheelset
Michelin ProRace3 tyres (I also have about 5-6 inner tubes that I'll happily throw in)I would also be more than happy to separate if the buyer only wanted the frameset and group (minus the wheels).
The bike was purchased in February 2011 and is still covered by a full lifetime frame warranty (I have the original warranty info and user manual)..
I'm selling the complete bike for £1600 and without the wheels for £1150, but will consider reasonable offers

.. so an area where x cars pass through which can't park, because of parking restrictions for non-locals vs a bunch of people coming to the area for an event.. I mean do they think Bike riders don't don't shop??

I think its about time good cyclists call out that bad.. or even just a quiet word alongside them.. hey do you know your doing this.. its a bit dangerous.. although am sure with some of the muppets who have crossed my path, it'll fall on deaf ears.. really concerns me the level of people cycling with earphones.. hate being the old man tut-tutting in the group, but its just asking for trouble... =(

When it comes to Rapha.. i'd say its a love hate thing.. I think some of their stuff is superb, but some of it is a bit ho hum.. Their Pro-Race jerseys are a case in point.. fantastic material and design for a race top.. but its shoddy.. mine fell apart within a season.. which is not good (for something at the £120-150 price point).. Am much more taken with Assos and recently Le Col in that price bracket..
On the flip side though.. the main store in Holborn is fantastic.. nothing bad to say witht he staff in there.. have aways been great when i've had questions and needed advice..
Hi Kam
Apologies for the late reply, have been away.. will check effective top tube length when I get home and post wither tomorrow or Thursday..
I would be ok with selling the frame, forks, groupset separately (so minus the wheels.. I didn't really want to separate to just frame and forks, but if need be then OK..
Cheers
