Thank you to everyone who said nice things or got in touch.

Cielo frame is gone, along with stem, post, bars and mudguards.
Mixed groupset is sold and on its way to the west.
Cages and calipers gone too. Yeah I did the delivery. I almost wished I had one of those courier bags with Stuart written on it.

Wheels available. Will post.

Donation to the forum incoming now.

Sorry @mattyc that @amey is so swift.

Cages, calipers definitely gone.
Frame, stem, post and wheels subject to inspection/collection gone.
Dibs held on mixed groupset.

Thanks for the interest.

Yes frame takes a 26.8 post.

@citron I can do the frame and the wheels. Couple ahead of you on the chainset/mixed group though. If you’re still keen, please drop me a DM!

Cages, calipers sold.

Campagnolo bits on hold.

@wot Thomson post is a 26.8mm. Any good?

Cages and callipers sold to that man @amey! Cheers for the positive nod fella.

Updated. Most is sold except the wheels. Knocked a tenner off.

I've got my winter bike to do away with. This has been out in all seasons, but has always been taken care of, always ridden with full guards. Never been crashed, dropped or left outside. The worst insult was a little bit of surface rust due to the seatpost not being serviced over one winter.

The parts coming off it have seen a lot of miles but were still working for me last week and everything had been recently serviced this year. Mostly Campagnolo Chorus 10-speed with a Record rear mech (Because it was cheaper to buy than a Chorus replacement, not some sad badge engineering). Chainrings are probably the closest to the bin. I've put some details below but happy to provide more information.

Prices are what I'd like, but always happy to hear offers or bundle together for a better deal. Dibs are cool but please DM me to confirm within 24 hours otherwise I'll move on. Hope that's OK. Will post but collection preferred. I'm south east London (Bromley).

Cielo Sportif - £SOLD

Well-used, well-cared for. Includes a nice dark brown Chris King headset which is predictably flawless. Lots of scratches and scuffs to the paint, especially loss of paint around the brake bosses, mudguard mounts and bottom bracket facings, which I've tried to show. No dents or dings but all the usual areas (cable rub, etc) show wear. I'm struggling to find a geometry chart now these frames are no longer being made. This is a 55cm, which is spot on for what I normally ride (I'm 5'10 or 178cm). Here's the measurements I've taken of the actual frame (pictures show my somewhat wonky working):
Headtube = 140mm
Uncut steerer = 47mm
Seat tube (centre of BB to top of top tube) = 555mm
Top tube (centre of head tube to centre of seat tube) = 550mm

I'll also throw in two sets of mudguards (if wanted). A set of silver hammered-finish metal mudguards from Velo Orange and another pair of standard SKS with extra-large mudflaps (soggy feet are bad). Both I have some fitting bolts for.

Silver Thomson 110mm stem - £SOLD
Silver Thomson Elite 250mm (some pitting to finish from surface corrosion) - £SOLD

Deda Elementi 42cm bars (31.7mm clamp)

Ambrosio Excellight rims x Hope RS Mono front hub / PowerTap G3 rear hub with Campagnolo freehub (Lots of wear on the rear rim, not so much on the front but definitely well-used. Bearings front and rear feel good and wheels run true. Power meter was giving decent numbers last week) - £80

Velo Orange Grand Cru deep-drop brake calipers (in really nice condition with just some pitting underneath. Swissstop pads with some meat left and happy to chuck in more part used ones) - £SOLD

Campagnolo Chorus front mech (band on with some shims) - £SOLD
Campagnolo Record medium cage rear mech - £SOLD
Campagnolo Chorus ergopower levers (10-speed) - £SOLD
Campagnolo Chorus chainset (170mm cranks. Includes english BB cups and bearings, which sound a little grumbly) - £SOLD
Brand new 10-speed KMC chain (still in packaging) - £SOLD
2 x 10-speed Campagnolo chorus cassettes (12-28 I think) - £SOLD

2 x King Iris cages (some marks from use) - £SOLD

Any errors and/or omissions let me know. Same with questions.

I'd be really dubious about using bikeflights. They take import duties even if they are not required and not levied. Cost me a fortune earlier this year to get a repaired frame back in to the UK even though the shipment was exempt. They even told me they don't refund duties paid in advance!

Frankly get yourself a proper box and deal direct with UPS. Its pretty easy and the discount bikeflights offers disappears with all the sundries added.

I've got a Kona cardboard bike box you can have. It's a bit knocked about and is currently flattened, but could work? I'm in Bromley.

Good luck!

I rode up that way yesterday. If you fancy a stop the white washed cottage halfway up is vacant and to let. Might be possible to have a little chill in the garden?

Does this fit here?

I have a terrible tale about Slane I'm afraid @.gaz.

Personable chaps for sure but definitely not reliable. Do not have stock they show. Ended up getting a third of a groupset direct from the distributor, after waiting weeks. Promised Giordana shorts as compensation. Never appeared.

The rear mech exploded on the first ride, destroying a custom frame and Zipp rear wheel. Returned mech for warranty, still heard nothing after two weeks. Sorry, avoid.

Dibs the cages, if you feel able to post (in the UK)?

At this pricing you definitely got a good deal on mine!

I’ll take this please if still available. Dibs and PM incoming.

Another recommendation for Speedplay Zero. Cost more. Well worth it.

Deda stem still for sale due to my stupidity in listing as a 100mm when its actually 110mm. Sorry Andrew.

Deda post sold. Thanks

Garmin is sold. Thanks.

Sold STC.

Thanks. It’s definitely a light frame.

Cheers. It’s yours. Please DM to confirm.

Post is 100% genuine. Will post yes. DM me and I can get a postage price.
