Look forward to seeing pics when you get it!

Yes he’s a lovely guy and I have to say the treatment I got from Mark was exemplary - it just took a long time (not because of the build, it seemed to be the paint that was the problem) - when it arrived I was blown away by how nice it was - not just in terms of looks but ride too -
-
Ah yes, I had similar problems when I ordered this but the wait was worth it in the end - I’m sure you’ll love yours when it arrives @marxist_vulcan
-
It’s a sticker - removable if you’re not a Wiggo fan!
-
Do you know which size it is on the size chart below? (head-tube length will be biggest giveaway I imagne)
-
I've just had a £1 sellers fees offer on eBay so I'm moving it over there (at a much higher price than here) - if you fancy it and go for it here, I'll happily sell it at the LFGSS price above!
-
@marxist_vulcan - yep, whole bike. And yep, maybe I've priced it too low! I will, of course, happily take more!
-
Yep @Ghirotto - I'm sure this time!

Reilly Cycleworks RS7, stainless steel roadbike. 55cm top tube.
Built for me by Mark Reilly about 2 years ago and only used for "best bike" so still pretty much pristine.
Frame only was about £2k. Built with Sram Force 22 groupset, Hope RS4 hubs on Open Pros, Deda Trentacinque bars and stem, matching Deda seatpost. Stunning custom bike in lovely condition - I guarantee there isn't another one!
£1400 for full bike or split prices shown lower down the thread.
Below is a pic of the frame from the day I built it up, and in a post below you'll find some photos of it built up.
The bar tape is all black Zipp Service Course and its currently running 25mm GP4000 tyres.
I've also included a copy of the original geometry diagram from Mark
The frame is still almost perfect (now just one scratch at the top of one of the seat stays - I covered it with a small carbon patch and as you can imagine, I was gutted when this happened!) and you'd be hard pressed to find anything wrong with any of the components.
No pedals or cages with it
The observant amongst you will know I advertised this a few months ago and then decided against it - I need the cash but I don't need it so badly that I'll give this beautiful thing away!
-

How about this - it's a Medium, but they come up big -

Today only price drop!
£850 and I'll throw in two inner tubes, as well as the additional tyres, pedals and cages.......

@AndyParkinson - They are TRP Spyres - work well actually
@Ghirotto - yes, I am really - I'm trying to whittle the collection down, but it's a fine balancing act between clearing out and resisting not "filling the gaps" that are left!

This has done less than 200 miles. It is as new. Small heel rub on left chainstay has been covered with carbon tape and other than that there's not a mark on it.
It is stock spec, apart from I've removed the original Sram Apex chainset and BB and replaced with a lightly used Shimano SLX chainset running a new 32t Hope Narrow-Wide chainring & new BB - this was to allow for running much lower gears for the off-road riding I'd intended using it for, and has lopped a huge amount of weight from the bike too!
It also has the advantage of having three sets of tyres with it:
The original Clement XPlor MSO's - ridden once
A set of gumwall Panaracer Gravel Kings - not used yet
A Conti Mountain King 2.2 front and a Maxxis Beaver 2.0 rear - full-on offroad tyres - it will come fitted with these
You have the benefit of full on-road, off-road or in-between set-ups with these tyres.
I will let the whole lot go for £875 - only bought new in January
Will include bottle cages and spd pedals in the asking price
The bike is in Cheshire & postage is an option

@Ghirotto - It's scratched through to the metal, but it's a v small scratch (little finger finger nail size) and covered with a small carbon effect sticker.....no dent or other damage, just a scratch....the paintwork is a pretty dark colour and the sticker does a good job of covering it which is why I've left it on there.....see below
