725 frame. just built up from new, with vintage 10 speed Record and Chorus alloy.
Seat tube 58.5 c-t
Top tube 56 c-cWheels are the last 10 speed Record alloy OS models, matching Record QRs, on Mavic Open Pro.
Chainset is a Veloce compact CT square taper, these are hard to come by, I can’t handle a non compact round here. I’ve upgraded the rings to nice TA ones.
Bars are Nitto M106NAS and stem is Cinelli XA. Seat post is Nitto S65 but I have a Campagnolo chorus aero somewhere too. Saddle is a near-new Cambium.
It’s all in great condition. Pick up in Betchworth or from Redhill station if you’re travelling from London.
I’ll post more photos shortly.
Frame £750, built £1500.
Ta.

Bought this from Mike at Black Mountain Cycles last year, but it has sat on the shelf since and needs a good home. As you can see it's brand new and still in the original packaging.
According to Black Mountain's sizing, this would suit someone from 5’10” – 6’1”. The published frame size is '53 cm'. That's just larger than a medium. The colour is Mayfly (green).
I paid £880 including shipping from the US and customs charges. I'm asking £700 + postage. Mike won't have any more of these in stock until mid-2022 now.
I'm in Surrey but I can post insured or maybe deliver to London.
Thanks.

@midlife yes it does.
To be honest, although it’s a pretty bike, the finishing isn’t quite as clean as my Roberts or other bikes from more boutique builders. The frame wasn’t prepped at all either which I was kind of surprised at given what the original buyer would have paid.
The beauty of the bike is in the ride quality though. I’d nearly given up on finding a modern bike with that thin-walled steel ‘twang’ to it, but this one has it, it’s beautiful to ride over rough roads especially.
Now I’m keeping an eye out for a Pro Lugless, something around a 59 / 60cm if anyone is thinking of selling! @johnnettles2 I’m looking at you 😉

Great thread and some inspiring builds, thank you!
Here's mine. A 23" Strada Speciale I was lucky enough to win on eBay. The previous owner, who had ordered the frame, didn't get round to building it.
Sorry the photos aren't great, have only just built it up.
Build is mostly 10 speed Chorus, with 10s OS Record hubs on Open Pros. Cockpit is Nitto M106 / Pearl stem. It has a Flite saddle ready to go on.
The chainset and FD are the 2006 compact square taper Campag one. I think it suits the bike more than the newer UT / PT ones and less faff.
