  Thanks Rob. It really is a lovely frameset and will be sad to see it go. I can see it building up into a very versatile bike.

  Yes 230-250 ideally. Bit nervous about vintage carbon forks though tbh (ever since watching Luescherteknik!) , should proably just fork out for some Minimals as @Señor_Bear suggests !

  Recently purchased on the forum to build up for a bike packing trip that is now not going to happen and sadly I dont have the space for it:

  Circa 2010 CX9 frame 54cm- cross version of the CAAD9 frame. Nice wishbone seatstays and bosses for cantis. Full carbon Kinesis cross fork. Both have mudguards mounts and plenty of tyre clearance. BSA threaded insert has been bonded into what I assume was a BB30 shell so no annoying creaks!

  Frame has been well looked after despite being raced by Rob and is in good condition with a few minor marks. It does have a small dent where the front mech clamp was on the NDS but hard to see.

  I also have a set of brand new Tektro mini v brakes and new Schwalbe G-One Allround 35mm tyres I can offer for sale with it if needed.

  £200 + postage, or possibly collection from Bristol, if possible in current circumstances (tbc)

  FYI - I ride a 56cm CAAD road and this fits me well

  cheers

  Very nice! I also have one of these, classic design. I worked in a large practice where everyone had one under their desk, one day they decided to get new desks and throw them all out ! Thankfully most people decided to take them home. They are extremely useful and well thought out. Have been tempted to us it as bike tool storage but can't bring myself to do it !

  Thanks, I'll try alternating, though I'm confused how to apply this to Musson's method, as he sttes working on the lateral and radial true first , before checking the tension ?

  I've just gone back and corrected the lateral and radial true , both are now down to about .5 mm and rechecked the tension and it's all over the place. I might start again and be more careful with initial threading of the nipples
