Morning
It has really good clearance for a cross fork. ENVE says 45mm on 700c and 50mm on 650b. I've run 38mm with a little plastic ass saver-type mudguard under the fork crown and the clearance was still ok for the winter clag round here.

Hello all
I still mourning the cracking of my Stoemper cx frame. I've bought a new frame but annoyingly the steerer on my old ENVE fork is a tad short for it - so it's for sale. It's a bit tatty, scratched and scraped but structurally good. I would 100% confidently be using it on my new bike if it fitted. It is without question the nicest riding disc cross fork i've ever had. I sort of hate the hype around ENVE but i can't deny the quality. It's a tapered steerer 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" which is 185mm long. Axle to crown is 400mm and the rake is i think 47mm. It is for post mount brakes.

After £125 for it plus postage or collection from BN7. NOW £100 posted.

Thanks

A few more pics. The typography on this is just so pleasing.
Me and the Zunow are just about to head out for a ride.
As a note, the saddle height (centre of bb to top of saddle) in the first pic in this thread is 730mm so this is not a tiny tiny bike.

Still your size - just with zippier wheels!

Thank you very much, but that'd be much too big for me.

Thank you. I've really never seen anything quite like it. I've started staring at it again of an evening. I'm going to take it for a spin at the weekend if the weather's ok.

A few close ups.

That is where it has been. My wife doesn't share my taste in art.

Thank you. I think i might be falling in love all over again.
Will post more pictures when it stops raining.

sorry, a pic. More to follow later.

I stare at this bike a lot, but don't ride it much. It's a bit small for me. It has dead on a 52cm c-c top tube.
It's an extraordinary thing with all manner of exotic lugwork and castings.
I imported it from Thailand a few years ago at eye-watering expense, but I'm not expecting to get back what I paid. For me it was a purchase of passion and I was blind to economic reason.
The frame is in good structural shape. The paintwork is a bit tatty but in my opinion still beautiful!

After £650 for the frameset (including headset) and whoever wants the frameset has the option on the Hope/Mavic 650c wheelset with nearly new Vittoria Corsas for an additional £75.

Thanks

Thanks for the information. Didn't think to look in the 'connect with us' section for information about their manufacturing - thought it would be in the 'About Us'. Glad they are working with verification organistions - and I think they should make this a bit more prominent.

I worked in India for a few years. I would not have great confidence in general 'unverified' labour or environmental standards. I have no firsthand knowledge of conditions in Pakistan, but from what I have read they are even worse than in India.

I love my swrve shorts - had them 6 years and still going strong.

Just received my new winter trousers. Look great but made in Pakistan. Given all the us flag waving shite on the us swrve site I had expected them still to be made in us. Not happy about paying £110 for what i had thought was a us product but is very likely a sweatshop product.

I'll be cycling down to the post office in 10 minutes to send them back.

Now sold

Reduced to £125.

It takes an integrated 1 1/8" cane creek headset and standard 1 1/8" fork.

I tried to upload the images first time but it failed for some reason.

SOLD I have finally purchased a new frame and after umming and arhing I've decided to part with my Boreas Ignis frame.

Boreas was a Danish company and offshoot of Principia. They were famed for their extraordinarily high quality of metal engineering - and I believe went out of business because of the cost of producing a limited number of frames. They had their own al/ti alloy tubesets made and machined their signature headtubes. In addition all frames were anodised and then painted for maximum durability.

Mine has a 540mm top tube and 520mm seat tube (measured centre to centre). It's very light at around 1200g and stiff, but also reasonably forgiving. It's a bit of a rocket ship really.

It's generally in very condition with a bit of light cable rub and some chips to the paint on the underside of the driveside chainstay - from some extreme chain slap on the Flanders cobbles.

After £175 plus insured postage for it or S London collection. REDUCED TO £125

Thanks

Here is what Boreas said:

Boreas Tubing
All frame tubes are designed and developed by Boreas, even the alloy itself. Based on 7005 Boreas tubes have 1% Zinc (Zn) and 1% Titanium (Ti) added. The Zinc together with the obligatory anodising (all painted frames are also anodised under the paint) make for a very corrosion resistant frame. The addition of Titanium makes the alloy less brittle with better strength. Among other performance benefits this means the frame material will not shatter or become razor sharp in the event of a violent crash, but will merely deform. Performance and safety as standard in every model.

Head Tube / Bottom Bracket
Unique Boreas barrel shaped head tube and bottom bracket shell optimise strength, stiffness and weld area. Each head tube is individually machined specific to frame size and the beautiful cable routing is a master piece of engineering. Joining tubes have the highest tolerance mitres for perfect welds.

Warranty / Crash Replacement
Every Boreas frame is bead blasted and anodised even before painting in order to resist corrosion and protect your investment. All Boreas frames come with double standard warranty, equivalent to ten years with the original owner. Boreas also offers frame crash replacement so that if ill-fortune should strike during racing or training, and the frame is damaged beyond repair, you will be able to purchase a new Boreas frame at half price.

Rarely has a road bike frame achieved such results. With low weight, extreme stiffness, perfect geometry and unsurpassed quality, Boreas confirms it’s position of excellence in 2006. Bike frames from Boreas offer a new experience of speed, comfort and control.

No problem. I'm just near Sydenham Hill so if you want to roll over and give it a try that's fine. I'll PM you my phone number.

Here are a couple of pics. The frame is nicely lugged and made from Japanese Ishiwata tubing. The paintwork is perfect - that's just a bit of muck on the headtube. There's an SR chainset and stem, ITM bars, Shimano brake levers and Acor long drop brakes. The mudguards are nearly new. The wheels are Mavic MA 40 rims (thought they are quite worn) on Campag front hub and Maillard rear. It's all in good running order.

I guess £150 if you're willing to come and get it.

I have a lovely little singlespeeder that came from Bell St Bikes (now closed down). It's 50cm c-c on the seat tube but 54cm c-c on the top tube. Would this be too long for her? I can sort a pic leter if it's of use.

Got a 7 speed 105 in that 80s pearly grey finish. I can't remember the model no off the top of my head.

NOW SOLD.

Thanks for the interest.

The rim wall was anodised grey when new and has been worn by braking.
