Talbot Steel Disc Road Bike SRAM Zipp.
£2600...2400...2300
This has been my summer bike for three years. Bought second-hand 'on here' of course, was stripped and re-built.
It was custom made in South London, later converted by Matt to a disc frame, with a new fork and the fanciest ever paint job. As you all probably know, Matt went on to build expensive frames for Isen Frameworks. Stuff went wrong after this, but that doesn't detract from this bike. You won't be seeing lots of them I guess.
The Good:
Crystal palace radiomast on the head tube!
Modern 'compact' 12 speed electronic groupset with hydraulic brakes (silent!).
Force AXS 172.5mm cranks, 46/33, 10-28.
The most bling wheels, Zipp 202 NSW, in perfect condition, with dimples and Cognition hubs. Tubeless taped, tubes in for now.
Geometry for a keen cyclist (I'm 178cm) somewhere between 'race' and 'endurance'.
Columbus Futura carbon fork.
Chris King headset.
English BSA BB.
8.85kg as pictured.The less good:
QR at the back. Most wheels still have QR adaptors. It's spaced properly for this now. Swopping between wheels might not be quite as easy as thru-axle though.
Some paint chips (but no rust, I've not used it in winter). Some scuffs in the groupset
Tight clearance with the seat tube, max 25mm tyres, Maybe 28mm depending on the wheels. Keeps it feeling snappy!
External hydraulic hose route along frame, internal through fork.
No fitting for mechanical or di2. SRAM 4ever.Price without wheels perhaps negotiable, I guess a lot of the value is in the wheels.
Not including bottle cages and pump mount as I'd like to keep them.
Includes Fizik Arione R3 saddle, Cinelli bar and stem, no-name carbon seatpost.I now live in York, travelling to Oxford this weekend however, and potentially could meet in a London station on Sunday 23rd.
Thanks for looking. Would be pleased to make forum donation if sells.

I'm using these ones by radial, but I'm not sure they are being sold at all any more.

Short but good with the flaps from Raw.
