Selling my Trek 1.1. Great bike, has probably done less than 1,000km and been kept inside/under cover throughout - barely a scratch on it. Getting it serviced at Cycle Surgery on Tuesday too so it'll be in outstanding condition. Will pass on receipt and purchase info so warranty should be valid.
Perfect entry level road bike, would make a great winter bike for someone too - has mudguard mounts.
Pics below, let me know if you have any questions or want more images. Paid £475 for it (down from £550); looking for £350. Happy for people to take it for a spin; I'm based in Islington and work in Soho.
All the best.

Hi all - am reluctantly selling this 90's Bianchi which I bought last week. Rides like a dream, but just a cm or two too big for me (I'm just under 5'11). Pretty gutted as it's perfect apart from that.
It's quiet, shifts perfectly and just feels great - I can ride it comfortably but would probably suit someone who's 6' or more. It's also much lighter than I'd thought, and has clearly been well looked after. It has a few scuffs as you'd expect from a bike that's been taken care of for a few years.
The frame is 7005 aluminium ands the forks are Cr-MO. Its a Campagnolo Avanti group set throughout except for the front derailleur which is Veloce.
The cassette is an 8 speed giving 16 gears in all. The two changes from the original spec are that it has a Specialized saddle instead of a Selle, and the ITM stem has been replaced by an adjustable one by Richey so that you can get your riding position more suitably set up for you
Images attached (check out the detail on the brake levers etc.) and also show the only spot of rust that I can see. Selling it for £285, which is exactly what I paid for it (minus delivery).
I'm in Brixton/Clapham, and work in Soho if anyone wants to take it for a spin.
If anyone's interested, wants to see more pics or take it for a test, let me know.
Thanks,
Luke

Hi guys, having a little trouble having bought some wheels with very narrow rims. I'd say that they're around 3/4" across.
Basically, the innertube goes on fine and the tyre slips over OK, except for where the valve sits. There, the tyre won't go as far into the rim as it will in other places, so there's a small bulge - if I'm careful, I can minimise this and on the front wheel it runs fine.
On the back wheel however, I just can't make it sit right - if I try to force it (surprise surprise) it explodes on me - got some funny looks when that happened in town.
Has anyone had a similar problem, and if so, how did you solve it? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. I can get pics/exact measurements of the rim if that's useful, and the innertube I'm using is marked as "700 x 20/28C 27 x 3/4" - 1/18""
Thanks,
Luke
Cheeky bump down to £330 before it goes on eBay - let me know if anyone's interested.
