Hi folks
For sale - complete lightweight 14-speed aluminium racing bike, refurbished by Argos Cycles of Bristol. http://www.argoscycles.com/,
Refurbishment completed under the previous owner in the last couple of years, who said he had it around 15 years, and since then it’s probably done all of 10km as i never really got used to the downtube shifters. It’s actually really comfortable, nippy and light. Original frame maker unknown, but has to be of reasonable value for someone to go to the effort of a full refurb & paint job. All the kit works nicely, rides well and the frame transfers power well even by modern standards.
I’m looking to get SOLDfor this one.
Top Tube 56cm, Seat Tube 54cm c-c, 58cm c-t.
14 gears
Feels around the 9kg mark but can’t say for certain.
Blue aluminium. Full disclosure - some small marks to frame here and there.
Shimano 105 downtube gear shifters, brakes & levers
Shimano 600 front mech and chainset
Shimano Sora (new) rear mech
Stronglight Headset
Cinelli Giro d'Italia Handlebars (47cm) and matching stem (1" quill, 120mm length)
Hand built front wheel - Mavic rim on Campagnolo Hub.
Shimano SPDs
Seatpost - 27.2mm
For anyone that gets this far, please check out the stolen bikes thread - i’m funding a new bike for my girlfriend, and you might like to know I’ve got a £50/£60 bounty on her red Battaglin for any info leading to its return! http://www.lfgss.com/thread123-182.html

First dibs in thread followed by PM gets it.
Cheers
