This bike has been unridden for c. 10 years so I really should move it on, as much as it pains me.
Always wanted one of these after I saw them in Geoffrey Butler cycles as a kid.
I originally built it with modern kit and rode a few sportives, then changed it so as Sean Yates used to ride em.
Frame condition is great , no dents in tubes , and always kept inside , but some paint wear and tear damage , that could probably benefit from a light touch up .
Rear chainstay are full chrome which is a nice touch and spaced at 126cm .
Date code suggests 1992.
Group set is 7400 dura ace , with Ultegra headset , Ultegra hubs on cxp33 at 130mm spacing, which fit fine.
New chain and Cassette and rings little wear .
Brake levers are basically NOS, downtube shift levers are excellent condition, and single pivot calipers .
Durace ace seat post and rolls saddle
66 44 bars and 130 xa, but I have a 110 1A I can throw in
175 cranks with 53/39
Sized to fit me at 185cm
Top of Saddle to bb 785
CT seat tube 61
CC seat 59
Head 18
CC TT 58
Lovely bike and I should probably keep it as amazing to ride all day .
Bit of toe overlap with my size 10 feet.
I was going to stick a large ratio 10 or 11 speed cassette on the back, and run the shifters friction, having seen this.
