Boardman CX team £400- medium frame swap for a ladies road bike?

[Steve T]

As above only done around 500 miles bought as my winter trainer but not getting used due to having a specialized secteur.
Will include a pair of virtually new 700cX 28 slick tyres as well as the original knobblies.
I have fitted BB7 callipers to the rear brakes but otherwise in original condition, would make an excellent commuter or go anywhere bike. A couple of scratches mainly from storage but otherwise in excellent condition.
I took it off road for about 5 miles on its last outing as can be seen from the pictures but otherwise it has had an easy life, too good a bike to be gathering dust in my shed.

I can send some better quality pictures by email if requested these are 640by 480 ones don't really do it justice.

Nice looking bike! Will it take mudguards and a pannier? Looking for a robust commuter

It has quite a bit of clearance, It fits mudguards quite easily although they need to go around the disc mechanism, I've not fitted panniers but I believe it will.
Lots of information about this bike here:- http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40012&t=12796558&start=320
It has quite a following - you will see some issues on the thread about the BB30 bottom bracket but I've had no issues with mine.

Interesting...

What size is it, and does your travel include anywhere round the northwest?

 

[Steve T]

Medium or size 54 , The closest that I am going Northwest that I know of is Walsall later this week, but I change jobs very soon and may be up in the Northwest when that happens.

So tempted

So tempted

I am travelling up the A6 to Leicester on Friday (from Wellingborough going past Countesthorpe) so could bring it with me so you can have a look.. also that means I could possibly drop the clothes off and give you your fiver back! You will be even more tempted when you see it.

Only fly in the ointment is I am travelling up with a new colleague (started a new job Monday) who might not think much of mixing business with work so I need to check with him first.

 

[broady]

What sort of time?
But check with your colleague and let me know.

 

[Steve T]

I am in the hands of my colleague - will let you know tommorow what time is best for you?
