I like the cycling info from this site, but it's a rather an insular bubble.

Congratulations @Dammit. The only answer is clear.

Or an accelerating nothing burger?

Bigger than watergate?

Too cheap, last chance before somewhere else type bump

Thanks for the interest. But not looking to split it yet. Although I may do at some stage.

Many thanks for your kind words.

And to answer a PM here, the tyres are clinchers.

I believe that Holdsworthy was the catologue name, after Holdsworth was actually Holdsworth? Or something like that?

It's a BIG frame, needs the right buyer, and possibly a little reduction in price. The receipt is a very nice extra though. Not sure the receipt is worth 150 potatoes tho?

I've owned this bike for approx 7 years, and without a doubt it's been my favourite bike to ride, as a "Sunday best bike". Menet bicycles are a well respected bike shop in Belgium. I recieved a couple of emails from them, and they informed me that this was originally built as a team bike for themselves, by the highly regarded Martelly ( http://www.martelly.be ) I always thought it was more than a little special!

The frame measures 57cm centre to top, and the top tube is 56cm. The tubes are high spec Columbus Neuron. The rear seat and chain stays are chromed, along with the fork. The fork crown and seatpost lug are pantographed "M", and the bottom bracket lug is pantographed "Menet". The top tube also has a fitting for a racing number, all of which are rather nice. The paint work is finished of with a subtle iredesent laquer. There are inevitably some minor chips to the paintwork, but nothing major.

The 8 speed DuraAce groupset was originally from another bike, it's in great condition and works perfectly. It's what is generally referred to as 7410. It is made up of:

• 7410 crankset with the original caps, and also the correct (narrow) 103 bottom bracket. The BB is not DA, but it sealed and has very little use.
  
• 7402 8SIS rear derailleur
  
• 7410 bolt on front derailleur
  
• 7400 8 speed brifters
  
• 7403 brake set with DuraAce pads.
  
• 7410 Easton seatpost, polished.
  
• 7410 headset
  
• 7401 8 speed hyerglide cassette
  
• 7400 8SIS hubs
  
  

The bars are Cinelli Nerve, wrapped in Cinelli kaleidoscope tape, with alloy Cinelli bar caps. The stem is/was a NOS, chromed Columbus steel, Cinelli Pinocchio (which still has its red cap!) The wheels are built are with DuraAce hubs, Mavic Reflex SUP rims and butted spokes. These are fitted with Deda RS Corsa tyres (23). I will also include an unused pair of Continental GP3000s. The Saddle is a San Marco Rolls, the pedals are Shimano PD A550 clips, and it's fitted with a pair of Halo Allen key QR replacements. It also has a Campagnolo branded seatpost frame bolt, just because it fitted so nicely.

Any questions, or more photos on request. Viewing is definitely recommended. I'm in Bromley, but can meet at Bromley South Rail Station (15 mins from Victoria) if it's more convenient for you.

Thanks for the info. I can see the rear drop outs are marked Cyclo.

It was last built up like this. Although the parts were transfered to another bike.

As pictured the saddle is set up for road riding. For off road use it would be lower.

Never quite sure how to measure these with sloping tubes?

But this linkie discusses the 19" Rocklobster frame dimensions, including the TT http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12560370

Probably not the best place to sell this, but thought I'd give it a try here before the dreaded eBay. *** Sold ***

These had FANTASTIC reviews when new. I bought it new with the upgraded 25th anniversary XT groupset, Hope brakes, Reba SL forks and Mavic 717 wheelset from Merlin. An I've still got the receipt and papers for it. I then proceded to buy lots of trinkets for it, to shave some weight off. Although ultimately I hardly ever rode it, it's done approx 100 gentle miles, and it's always been stored dry.

It's the Paul Sadoff signed frame version. With Ultralite Race Easton tubes, in black. I can't see a single scratch, chip, or any signs of cable rub on it. I also can't see any foot/heel rub on the cranks. Properly great condition! Theres are a few chips on the DMR V12 pedals, but that happens just by looking at them..

Brief specs:

• 25th Anniversary Shimano XT throughout, with the shadow mech.
  
• Reba SL forks, with a fork pump included.
  
• Hope Mono Mini brake set, with braided hoses, floating rotors and some spare pads.
  
• Thompson stem, with ti bolts.
  
• Easton Monkey Lite SL carbon bars, with Ritchey foam grips.
  
• Mavic 717 rims, XT hubs and black DT spokes wheelset.
  
• Bearbone TI Pro Lite scandium seat post, with a Selle Italia SLR (135g) saddle.
  
• DMR V12 pedals with the ridiculous upgraded ti shafts. An I think theres an unused "DMR pimp kit" for them somewhere.
  
• Continental Supersonic Speed King tyres (2.3 & 2.1)
  
• Lightweight KCNC quick release for the hubs and seatpost, a ti bottle cage, and a further handful of ti bolts throughout.
  
  

Haven't got a clue what it's worth, but weight wise now it's probably a light XC bike for £425. An it almost in as new condition. (No dibs, please) SOLD

Worth a view to see the condition of it. I'm in Bromley, but can meet you at Bromley South Rail Station (15 mins from Victoria) if that's more convenient.
Could possibly post also, although I'd have to harass Halfords for a box.
