Thanks for that info @Mr_Smyth . I've sent an email to IF as the serial number sticker is no longer on. You're right that they're probably fine and I've ridden them for about 4000 miles (and plenty of +/- weather through both seasons) since I bought the frameset.
But after my recent blacklisting (I assume people thought I bought the full bike for £800) on being whipped on the forum I wouldn't wanna make this thread another one of being ridiculed 😆
So will await their response and if it doesn't come soon enough I'll just give em away to a good home. Thanks again 😊

Just realised that you were thinking that I was trying my luck, so thought to clarify a few things to hopefully stregthen the argument that I'm not and nor was I trying to...
It was the frame, fork and CK headset that Sean let me have for (after rereading the older/original thread) wither £700 or £650. For whatever reason I did the round trip down to collect it in person (can't remember whatfor but it was a genuine reason at the time).
Hence me pricing it at £800 seemed resonable (in my head at the time) as I know these things (are meant to) hold their value and £800 is almost what it cost me. I did also write ONO and the bit about it going for charity (original plan was the full £600 to £800 or whatever it was worth) really wasn't me adding in extra info to try and dupe the general populace.
As for removing the forks. I really didn't see it a big selling point to be honest as they're worth little to nothing. Anyway, just thought I'd explain myself that I wasn't trying to rip off anyone in the forum and that before @Cornish_Bike shred the original add from Sean, I already had it in my 'copy and paste' list as it was my next job to add to my thread.
Thought I'd clarify to hopefully help people believe that I wasn't here for a bit of advantage taking. Sorry that some uaers felt/thought that way 👍

Next up. Dura Ace 9001 levers. Not sure if these are the versions that chewed up inner cables or if I managed to attach all cables carefully.
But, for the rear mech the cable did get slightly frayed (at the lever end). This took about 4000 miles (accorsing to my Strava) and 2 or 3 Rapha500 attempts along with lots of other winter/summer riding with minimal cleaning.
As they are, they work well. Only 2 things to note is that ine of the levers had some chips in the paintwork. So when I bought em I applied some laquer (again, from daughters make up drawer) and it's still intact and protecting the levers well.
Think they're carbon underneath. They have the gorgeous ti clamps intact 😊
£70 posted for the pair (oh, and the rubber on one of the hoods ia bit of a pain... it's ripped!!).
Oh... and one of the covers that holds the brake cable undeneath is well and truly scuffed - at two points.

Next up: Specialized Carbon Aerofly handlebars 44cm.
Some chipping on one corner of the paint. I applied laquer here about 4 years ago and it remains intact. Which is a good thing.
One mark underneath which looks like a superficial scratch. Always torqued to spec so no (heavy) indentations from the stem or lever clamps. There is however light intendation on the front of where the stem clamp went and it's superficial.
Also, if you look at one side of the stem clamp area there is a tiny groove inside the paintwork. This will have been caused due to me using a dremelled down clamp for my Exposure mount.
Priced accordingly at £50 posted. Feel free to make a near offer and poorly comments as you wish. Pics incoming as soon as I get the IMGUR app working.

First up...
Front wheel. Dura Ace 1380. Very well used but still going strong. Tubeless conversion with some of that sealant made from crushed olives. The side walls have maybe got another 1000 miles left so try not to brake!!
One slight ding which I used to notice but I think the brain got used to it.
Therefore comes with tire (gp5000 TL also well used but has life).
£40 posted ONO and it's a good idea to top the pressure up every ride or few... I think I top up every 200 miles and it holds pressure well.

Couldn't add too many pics here so (for anyone with genuine interest, as opposed to giving me lifestyle advice*) have added to Imgur https://imgur.com/gallery/ZgfZYNA
*Though lifestyle advice is always welcomed ☺️

Selling as I'm stripping the Indy Fab.
206mm steerer tube. Includes base plate which I did'nt wanna risk removing and damaging the carbon.
£54 postedNB. Looking carefully beneath the base plate theres a little chip or two. Wasn't me but I omagine someone has attempted at base plate removal with substandard tools. I don't have the pro tool so didn't try.
Thanks Mars. Price drop. £50.
