I sold a Charge Juicer frameset exactly the same as this to @biggs682 a few years ago and regretted it almost immediately:sad:

So when another Juicer came up on eBay locally I bought it. It came with a tired 3 x 9 Tiagra / Sora grouoset. Fundamentally it was OK - nothing that a new chain and cassette wouldn’t sort out, but...

Planet X are currently selling theur Holdsworth Brevet bike with a 105 groupset, long reach brakes and Fulcrum wheels for £500. A plan emerged - buy the Holdsworth, transfer the bits to the Charge frame, sell what’s left over.

The result:

Old frame and fork, new 105 groupset, Fulcrum wheels, 30mm tyres and mudguards.

A fantastic Winter ride.

(Brevet frameset has been sold, as have the wheels that came with the Charge. Other bits are ‘in stock’ in my garage and may or may not be sold in due course).

Please excuse the fugly stem arrangement, it’s a work in progress:okay:
