Kuota Kharma 2008 size Medium

[paulicc]

I found this a fast and comfortable bike for its time but haven’t ridden it in ages.
Bought new in 2009.
Upgraded the wheels to Fulcrum Racing 3 (lovely but front has a slight roughness in bearings) and changed to a 30T cassette and suitable 105 mech (though it needs some adjustment as won’t go into that bottom gear at the moment).
Would make a good trainer bike and I’ve included a spare wheel with a trainer tyre.
Viewing and collection in Addingham, near Ilkley, West Yorkshire.
Is £150 reasonsble?

Nice bike looks a medium?

It's an older bike with Shimano 105 5600 10 speed. Kuota's aren't seen as a premium carbon brand and a bit heavier by comparison.

£150 seems reasonable.

Exceptionally reasonable.

The components sold separately woh,d be worth far more. Thats a bargain for someone of limited altitude.

Thanks for the comments. Just need someone to buy it now to make room for another Moulton :-)

You're local and like a used bike

Agree Kouta had a very chequered history. With lots of reports of sub standard carbon frames in the early and latter models.

However I owned a 2009 kharma identical to that one in the picture. Kouta were in there prime at this point and it was an absolute stonker of a bike. Many happy miles on it.

Sadly I followed it with a Kouta khydra - which was nothing but trouble from day 1

But that one in the picture is well worth £150 of anyone's money.

Agreed, but I've absolutely no space. It'd arrive with me for the sole purpose of being moved on and the op can do that themselves.
