Any of my mates will tell you that Chris and I have been through the best of times and the worst of times, but I've got a new bike and I just don't have space for two men in my life.
Full carbon bike. I think Chris weighs in at just over 7kg.
48.5cm compact frame set (XS). Ideal for those 5'8" and below
110cm (I think?) Deda stem
It had a £300+ service at Seabass about 700km ago. New BB, bar tape, chain, cassette and cables (inners and outers). Zero mechanical issues since then.
x2 Vittoria Rubino Pro Tyres. About 700km of mileage; no punctures since they went on
Handbuilt DT Swiss RR411 700x25cc wheels at Stayer (not their cool branded variety, unfortunately). I'm afraid I'm not sure about the hubs
Full SRAM Force
Sella Italia Boost X3 saddle. 130km of use
Points to consider:
It is a well-used but well-maintained bike, and there are some occasional scuffs to the paintwork.
I didn't notice until Seabass did, but there's a very tiny dink in one of the rims on the front wheel. It still spins fine, it'll just need rebuilding/replacing one day.
There's some mild scuffing on the rear brake calliper from a clip-on mudguard one winter.
The carbon bottle cage is included because one of the bolts has rounded and I can't be arsed sorting it myself. Fortunately, it's on the bottom tube where you'd normally put your primary bottle cage anyways.
The front brake pads could do with changing BUT I CAN GIVE YOU a pair of fresh pads.
Other than that, this bike has served me well - I hate to see it go but I just don't have the space.
I bought it for £1,200 first-hand; eBay averages around £650. Considering its condition and the service it had in March, I think £350 is a fair price but I'm open to offers.
Pick-up only from Peckham SE15. I'd accept courier pick-ups but that's on you if you can't collect in person and can transfer the price ahead of time.
Cash or Monzo transfer on collection. Sorry, no Paypal.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering:  That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
