Withdrawn from Sale.

In superb condition.

April 2010.

52 cm seat tube. 53 cm top tube.

Beautiful paint job. Detailed lugs throughout. The tips of the forks and the ends of the rear triangle are beautifully chromed as per the build sheet. Ridiculously expensive to do, I've not seen this before but I have to say, I can really see the value of it as so many times you see substantial paint damage from removing wheels. Suffice to say, it's prevented that.

Reynolds 631 tubing.

Shimano XT 3 x 9 speed group set.
Shimano XT 11 - 32t cassette.
Chain rings are: 44t - 32t - 22t.
Shimano XT Chain.
700c Mavic A719 rims with XT hubs and skewers.
Brooks B17 leather saddle.
Shimano DA 9 speed bar end shifters.
Shimano XT dual sided pedals.

Just replaced all the inner cables.

I have all the original Mercian paperwork, receipts and the build sheet for this bike.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700 x 28c tyres.

With regards to size, I'm 5' 8" and it's fine for me.

It is collection only from the GL2 area of Gloucestershire.

Bank transfer or cash on collection.

£750

Is it too expensive or just the wrong time of year to sell ?

Covid, wars and gas bills mate. Lovely bike though.

Currently has Schwalbe Marathon Plus, they are 700 x 28c which fit nicely with the mudguards, I think a 32c in this style of tyre would be the maximum.

 

[TTSS]

I may split but I'd prefer to sell it complete.

 

[TTSS]

I will sell the frameset which will include:

Frame & Forks.

Mudguards.

Brakes.

Headset.

Braze-ons for gear cables.

Seat post.

Seat pin.

Wheels with the hubs and skewers. (no cassette, tyres or tubes).

Rear rack.


£450 collected.

Comes with the saddle in photo 4, not the Brooks.

Revised and reduced.

Contemplating putting this back to straight handlebars. Maybe the bar end shifters are putting people off ?

Lovely looking bike in my opinion and just the right kind of spec / build. Bar end shifters are cool now 😎

Do you know at all what the bars are? The look very short reach.
