Something a bit different!
Medium Shand Tumshie frame with full carbon fork. Built with Reynolds 853.
Geometry and details are here: https://www.shandcycles.com/shop/bikes/tumshie-rohloff/
It's built with Rohloff or singlespeed in mind, with an eccentric BB and the Rohloff ready dropouts. The Polydrop dropouts mean you could also run it geared with the appropriate drive side dropout (readily available). These dropouts also allow you to split the rear end and add a belt drive if you so desire (I have another Shand with the same dropouts that I run Rohloff/Gates)
The frame has been invisi-wrapped from new so the only marks are nicks to the wrap - it's in superb condition. The wrap makes the paint look a little "matt" finish but it is in fact gloss blue.
Built as follows:
Cane Creek 110 headset (new)
Hope orange anodised stem (new)
One One Mickey bars (new)
ESI XL grips (new)
Planet X seatpost (new)
Hope Fatsno orange anodised hubs on Fatlabs 55 rims, Surly Nate 3.8" tyres set up tubeless (these wheels cost a real fortune, not just a small one!! 😬)
Race Face Aeffect cranks
Shand Eccentric BB (new and "sharp intake of breath" expensive!)
On One Groove Armada 18t cog (new & I'll throw in a also new 20t one)
Clarks M2 brakes (new - although these are budget brakes, I've had them many times before and they are really good - tbh I ran out of budget as I'd spent so much on the eye-wateringly expensive wheels and BB!!)
The bike looks and rides stunning - it's set up perfectly, all running sweetly.
Saddle, pedals and bottle cage are not included
I'm looking for £1550 and I'm based in Cheshire. More than happy to box and ship it.
