I built this a couple of years ago and spared no expense, but it has hardly been used this year and due to space issues, my next project means that I have to do one in/one out, and the Surly is on the hit list, as much as that pains me.
I'll get some pictures up soon, but spec-wise we have:
Blue 56cm frame with silver Chris King headset, Waxoyl'd internally and Heli-taped externally from day one, so frame looks as new.
Hand built 26" Rigida Sputnik rims (from Spa Cycles) on 9 speed XT hubs with Marathon Plus tyres - brilliant and bombproof.XT rear mech/105 front mech and a 12-34 cassette and new KMC chain.
The brake levers are Tektro v-brake levers and the shifters are Dura-Ace bar end shifters.
The crankset is a Spa Cycles triple with TA chainrings. The Shimano UN55 bottom bracket was replaced earlier this year and has done under 100 miles.The saddle is a Brooks B17 and the handlebars and stem were changed when I did the bottom bracket, to Ritchey Classic wrapped in 3.2mm Likard Skins tape - still look like new obviously as they've also done under 100 miles.
The brakes are XT V-brakes with upgraded Swissstop Greenstuff pads.The seatpost is also a Ritchey Classic, but there is not a lot of post showing, so I rubbed off the logo and it is now just plain, highly polished, which I think looks better.
It will come with a Tubus rack fitted, but I can't remember what model that is off the top of my head.
It has a lovely pair of Gilles Berthoud stainless mudguards fitted.The only negative thing and I do mean the ONLY negative thing, is that when applying the Heli-tape, the "Long Haul Trucker" logo on the top tube came off on one side, so I removed the logo's on both sides to keep things looking equal.
There was also a logo on the chainstay that said "Fatties Fit Fine" which I removed on purpose, because it looked tacky.I am after £1000. The bike is in as new condition and is awesome! It is located in Royston, Hertfordshire.

It seems it is the end of the road for my 8 speed Record Titanium mech, as there is a substantial amount of play from the bolt & spring that connects the body & the cages, causing my mech to rub against my spokes when I climb in my lowest gear. I've disassembled, cleaned, re-greased & re-assembled & there is still substantial play.
I can source 8 speed mech's from eBay, but I don't know if they are going to be close to the same point that mine is now in.
If I were to get a modern 10 speed Record carbon mech, will this work with my 8 speed Ergo shifters & cassette? -

I've got an out front mount, but it's not a Garmin. It is one of these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FQE9T7A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00I bought it, fitted it once, didn't actually like the position of the computer there and took it off, so unused really.
You can have it for £6 posted.

I have to get rid of one bike to make space for my next project, so seeing if there will be interest in this:
Early 90's frame in very good condition with the occasional touch up to nicks in one or two places, that you can't even see.
I acquired the bike earlier this year and it had a mish-mash of Campagnolo parts on it.
I completely stripped the bike down and rebuilt it with full Record/Record Titanium components that I spent time sourcing that are either NOS or as close to new as I could find.
It is 8 speed with brand new Nitto bars, stem and seatpost. The wheels are Mavic CXP30.
Pictured, it has my Cambium saddle on, but will be sold with a Fizik (Antares, I think?) instead and flat pedals will be fitted instead of the Speedplay's.
I paid a grand for it and spent a shit load getting it to its current level. I know I won't get my money back, but I don't really know how to price this, so offers around £1500 are what I think would be fair?
I am located in Royston, Hertfordshire.
