My Dad had this frame custom built in 2002 (maybe 2003) by Roberts, they also built the bike up for him. In about 2005 he became seriously ill and the bike has sat in the shed ever since. Its a slightly odd build with a real mix of components, but I think that was to get some value out of the build at the time.
The condition is okay. The frame has some chips and dings, and rusting where the chain has taken the paint off of the stay and in other spots. The fork will need a service, but its in good nick, no dings or knocks and still works - although it aint so smooth. Front wheel is good. The rear wheel is less good. In the time in storage it looks like the freehub has given up. The freehub no longer engauges. I no longer live in the UK and don't have any tools with me to open her up and see whats causing the problem. The hub is an XTR HB-M950. I believe replacement freehubs are available and it might be a case that getting it pulled off and cleaning/greasing is all it needs to work. Seatpost isn't stuck and the chris king HS feels like they always do, lovely. Shifting and braking is okay, would benefit from some new cables and a bit of adjustment.
The frame is made of a mix of tubing, as you'd expect from Roberts. Can't tell you what, but it got Ritchey stamped dropouts. :)

Nice old loose bearing Gipiemme pista BB. 109mm ISO Taper, italian Threading.
One cup feels ever so lightly rough, the other is perfect. In all likely hood cleaning it up and changing the 25 year old grease is all your going to need to do to get it back to perfect condition. This parts not been used in over a decade.Looking for £45 posted.
Less if you want to collect from SE27

Finally letting go of my much loved Olmo. Its been sitting in my mum's shed since I left to go adventure the world in 2012.
Made of columbus tubing, Aelle I think. Structuraly sound, cosmetically a little dinged and beaten up. Its had a hard life, but its still stunning. Amazing curves and triple triangle. Beautiful fade. Chrome fork and rear dropouts along with drive side chain stay. Gippieme headset its 90% perfect. Meaning its got a little grind when you spin it in the hand but nothing noticeable on the bike. Its probably servicable. Its got a nice pantoed fork crown too :)

Size:
ST = 53.5cm C-T-T
TT = 57cm (effective)
HT = 13.5 cmAlthough it does have a 57cm TT is measured accurately, the fit isn't like that of a 57cm bike. More around a 55cm, particularly with the swept back bars and short stem. My GF is around 5ft 7 and I'd say someone 2-3 inches either way would be fine. :)
Seatpost isn't stuck. Bearings seem good, partciularly on front :)

As me and my Girlfriend are moving country in the next few weeks, many things are having to go, and one of those things is her very nice bicycle. As built for her by a previous boyfriend.
There is one condition to the sale, the bike has a name, "Go-Go-Superfast", and the new owner has to agree to keep her name....
Its a Step-Through / Mixte Ellswick Frame built up with a good selection of parts:
Ellswick Mixte Frame
1/8" Cranks with Sugino Messenger Ring
Langster Wheelset
Charge Spoon Saddle
KMC 510 Chain
Fixed Sprocket and Freewheel
Dirty Harry Brake Lever
Long Drop Brake Caliper (front only)
*BELL IS NOT INCLUDED!*Condition wise its been well ridden and as you can see in the pictures of the stickers are peeling at its reasonably scratched (mainly left fork leg), but it rides nicely. Everything has lots of life in it, and the brake works good!

We are looking for **£180 **for it, to help fund our relocation.
I'm not prepared to do shipping, but it can be collected from SE27 all this week, but I don't mind comming to meet the buyer somewhere sensible. :) Viewings in SE27 also kosher.
Any questions please ask.
