Gone to ebay

Yeah was supposed to come off from here along with the other post.

I have a test forma, steel rails.

Sweet!

Hmm, I can pay a deposit and hold
Edit: I'm a few miles from the A390

Nah, Cornwall. Its all good, I understand.

If so dibs vo rack, Thomson black seatpost and sim works stem

Can you post if I take a handful of thing?

I'll take it if you can post

STRONGLY recommend upgrading that chainring at some point.

I went from a Stronglight to a Zen and it was like I was riding in a lower gear, except I was actually in a higher gear.

Looking for a Pro, lite 209 or a Drakon.

Lol, it is.

I'm 5ft 10. Its fucking gutting it doesn't fit. Well, it would if I swapped out the stem...

Cheap eBay listing ends Monday. £300 posted before? Postage would be £65.

I rode this to work and back once sulking the whole way when I realised it was too small.

If I was keeping the bike I'd say it needs a wheel true, BB adjustment (small play but smooth), headset tightening and new cables throughout (think original as while they work, everything is a bit stiff).

.

I bought this last week but its a touch too small and I don't want to start swapping parts. Description from original sale on Retrobike. I paid £350 collected. I'll take a hit at £300 plus postage. Got cheap eBay listing so will be on there tomorrow evening.

bought this last summer but since then it's sat unused at work. I've decided to try and stick to my plans to thin the herd this year so will try and move it on. Early gravel bike blah blah blah, but these are pretty rare, especially in this condition I would think. The actual top tube length is 21.25", c-c, giving an effective tt of about 21.5". The seat tube is 16", again measured c-c. It really doesn't want for much; the headset is a little discoloured and it's missing the bottle cage bolts but it really is in excellent condition for its age. The bar tape is more modern and I would change this if I was keeping it. The frame does have the odd scuff and chip to the paintwork but all very minimal. It could use a good polish and a once over to set up the brakes properly and adjust the gears but it's otherwise ready to ride. I'm guessing the rear brake was swapped for the low pro XT for improved heel clearance. The stem differs from the catalogue image but is an improvement, in my opinion.

What I have is a bike that was once loved, but stripped for a few parts over the years.

Because of this its missing a headset, seatpost, saddle, front brake, brake levers, stem and handlebars.

What is included is a nice thorn frame and fork. It does have a few very shallow dents in the top tube thoughtfully hidden under grease. XT rear mech, cassette and chain, new maybe 1000miles before being retired. A deore chainset, r450 rear brake, dura ace 10 speed down tube shifters (£££) and a front mech. Wheels included, do work but the front is about 50% worn.

I was all working before going into the shed but obviously needs a good service. Looking for £100 if you don't want the downtube shifter, £150 if you do. I could find a handlebar, stem, saddle and seat post I'm sure but would all be beater quality.

Postage from Cornwall through paisley freight (not included). Or collection

Unless I'm missing something this is over twice the price I'd have expected.

Trykit converted Surley LHT, a bargain for the right person.

Willing to split before eBay tomorrow

If you can collect this is better.

If I have to work on big chips I get out a #320 shapton, will take too long with my #1000. What grit you using?

The first link says they did an audax model. That makes sense. As I said the factory pushing them out did both. Never road one but they always reviewed well.
