Evening everyone,
Got a couple of big frames that I've unfortunately decided to part ways with.
First up has been one of my faves for a while, but I just haven't been riding it. It's a 80s/90s Mercian Audax frame made with Reynolds 531 Competition tubing. Although it's an audax frame, clearances are relatively close, and takes regular drop brakes, and a max of 25c tyres with mudguards.
Condition is really nice, with no dents, just the usual cable rub marks. Worst of all is a chip in the right hand seat stay (pictured). Paint is absolutely lovely, with a sort of flamboyant fuchsia fading to metallic silver. So nice. All threads perfect.
Seat Tube 62cm c-t, 60.5cm c-c
Top Tube 57.5cm c-c
Head Tube 19.5cm
Wheelbase 98-100cm
Rear Spacing 130mmWeight (F&F) 2.9kg
£̶3̶0̶0̶ £265 ono
Second is a pretty wicked J.F. Wilson road frame made from Reynolds 753 tubing. Sticker says renovated, so I assume it's been resprayed at some point with this awesome smokey paint. Like most other Wilson frames I've seen, it's lovingly plastered in Wilson decals, which I think are kinda awesome. Has some nice features like a Cinelli BB shell and Suntour rear dropouts.
Paint is pretty tatty in places, with a bit of surface rust showing through, but there's no dents. Comes with a cartridge bearing M-Part headset. All threads perfect.
Seat Tube 62cm c-t, 60.5cm c-c
Top Tube 57cm c-c
Head Tube 20.5cm
Wheelbase 97-99cm
Rear Spacing 130mmWeight (F&F) 2.6kg
SOLD
Both frames can be viewed at Fitzrovia Bicycles, 136-138 New Cavendish St, W1W 6YD

Evening. Apparently I've got WAY too many bags. Seeing as this is probably true, here's a bunch I'm getting rid of...
Poler Day Pack, Red £40
Originally bought for my girlfriend, who promptly snubbed it. Literally used a couple of times, could pass for new. Includes a handy laptop slot for up to a 15". Same as this one http://www.polerstuff.com/collections/bags/products/the-day-pack?variant=701729629
Poler Camera Cooler, Burnt Orange £35
Perfect for a compact system-type camera setup, with 2-3 extra lenses, or a DSLR with maybe one extra lens. Used a few times, but not really feeling the orange. Has insulated lining, so perfect for keeping a 6 pack cold with the camera insert taken out. Has an extra stabilising strap, useful for when you wanna use it on the bike. Same as this one http://www.polerstuff.com/collections/bags/products/the-camera-cooler?variant=701728721
Thule En Route Daypack, Black £30
Bit of a tardis backpack this one; can fit loads in, for what is essentially a small backpack. Used sparingly over the past couple of years (I usually use a much bigger backpack). Some signs of use, but still in excellent condition. Separate slots for 15" laptop, and an iPad, plus a hard lined outer pocket for glasses or other small fragile bits and pieces. Same as this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thule-TESD115K-EnRoute-Daypack-MacBook/dp/B007Z4YEFQ
Mark Reacher Canvas Camera Bag £20
Again, perfect for a compact system camera setup, but will fit a DSLR with one lens. Thought I'd use it more than I have, but in reality I've used it a handful of times. Same as this one http://www.hangtot.com/tui-balo-mark-reacher-5506-1648752.html
Quicksilver Backpack, grey £10
Bought on holiday to bring stuff back, it's the only time it's been used. Annoyingly has a small tear in the back, like it's been done with a knife or summat, doesn't go all the way through into the bag though.
Targus Classic Laptop Backpack, black £10
This came with a secondhand laptop I bought, and although I've never used it, it looks like it's had some use at some point. Ironically, it seems to be missing the removable laptop sleeve. It's still a MASSIVE bag, with loads of pockets. Looks like this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Targus-CN600-Classic-Computer-Backpack/dp/B0002CQDZW
Quicksilver Backpack, purple £5
Similar to the typical Eastpak / Jansport design. Been well used, but still plenty of life left in it.
I've got the bags at home in N15, but can take them into Fitzrovia Bicycles in W1. First with the cash gets the item.
Cheers.

It pains me to have to sell this, but an impending wedding and house move have made me so skint, that this is a luxury bicycle I am no longer destined to have.
I've said 'nearly' new in the title; I've only done 2 longish rides on it, probably totalling 100 miles or so, and that's it. The frame itself is immaculate, and bar a bit of cable rub on the side of the headtube from the gear outer (yep, my bad for not fitting any protection there), it could easily pass for new.
I still have the original box, plus it comes fitted with the FSA seatpost, headset and SRAM PF30 BB. I was running Dura Ace 7900 cranks, so I should have the Wheels Manufacturing adaptor kit that I can chuck in. I also have the replacement rubber grommet things for running Di2, as well as the chainstay protector that I didn't get round to fitting. Basically, everything that comes in the box with the frame.
If you're reading this, then I'm imagining you know what you're looking at, but these frames are SO nice, and the ride is seriously incredible. A right proper posh bike.
For geometry etc, have a look here:
http://www.thetristore.com/product/cervelo-r3-frameset-2015.aspxThe cheapest I've seen them online is £1699 (correct me if I'm wrong), so considering it's condition lets say...
£1300 ono
I have it at Fitzrovia Bicycles for anyone who wants a closer look. I can also take some more detailed pics for anyone who might want them. I'd rather sell this to someone in person, as posting something like this always freaks me out a bit, but we'll see how we go. Go on, treat yourself.
