  I am guessing from the top tube brake cable routing that it’s puppykill rather than a dedicated single speed? Any guidance on what size it is?

  I think you do have the frame wrong. I'm no Bianchi expert, but the only ones I'm aware of which might attract a value anything like that level would be the Ti Mega, or the Mega Pro XL as famously ridden by Pantani.

  I remember Caribou - they used to be the in-house custom frames from the bike shop in the arches underneath the train station. In all likelihood paint was by Argos one stop down the line in Bristol.

  I've got to stop hoarding, and as lovely as this is, it needs someone to get it built and ride it.

  Made by framebuilding legend Dave Yates when he owned the M Steel shop, out of Reynolds 631. Good clearances, and mounts for both a rack and mudguards. It's also got lovely elegant lugs, including wrap-over stays.

  Finished in a lovely darker red sparkle paintjob, with rather shouty 'Spen Velo' logos under the clearcoat (the original rider was a Spen club member).

  The key downside is that it suffered some chainsuck and to protect it from rusting the area has been badly touched in with a non-matching red paint. Someone with patience could possibly strip it back and do a better job, but when built that area is hidden behind the chainrings.

  It's a big lads' bike - seat tube centre to centre is 61cm and 63cm centre to top, and the top tube seems to be about 60cm - I'll find a better tape measure in the morning and confirm for sure.

  I'll include the Campagnolo Chorus headset, and the stem if you want that too. The seatpost is staying with me.

  Looking for £150 collected from W6 or EC2
