Bargain.

Would be tempted, were it not for the (nearly) slammed stem.

Messaged.

This is now sold, pending collection.

Complete Ritchey Swiss Cross 55cm with Reynolds carbon tubs for a very reasonable price.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203086195833

A novel way of measuring frame size.

Almost certainly, yep.

Lots of interest - still available as it stands. Forgot to mention; I'll probably keep hold of the Saint pedals that are on it at the moment.

Price drop to £30 for the RS100 rear. Get it out of my sights.

Sure, both top tube and seat tube are 57.5cm (22 5/8'') centre to centre.

I'm 6ft, for reference.

Had a few people message me after I replied to a wanted ad with some photos of this; figured I'd post it here.

I built this up in March this year while my Fairlight was getting brazed back up (oops). It's probably done around 300 miles since, and had a lot of new parts at the time.

Full spec as follows:

Frameset: Thorn Audax '575' - tubes are Reynolds 753 / 708 / 653 / 531c. Fork is 531c. Dates from 1999, built in Somerset. Build quality is lovely; all the brazing and lugs are very clean. It's essentially 57.4cm (22 5/8") c/c square. When I stripped it down, I gave the frame and fork a good check over, so there's no dents, cracks or notable corrosion. It's 21 years old - there's some chips, scuffs and rubs in the paint, but overall it's very presentable and thoroughly sound.
Headset: Stronglight, cleaned and regreased when I built it back up in March.
Bars: Nitto Noodle Mod177, 44cm. aka the comfiest bars in the world
Tape: Cinelli cork, new in march. Turned beech Velox bar ends, finished with Velox cloth tape.
Shifters: Shimano Ultegra 6600, nice positive 'click' still.
Crankset: Shimano 6650. Same as 6600 chainset, except this one is 110bcd rather than the 130bcd which is the norm. New Hollowtech BB in March.
Chainrings: TA Zephyr high-polish 43/33t.
Front mech: Shimano Ultegra 6600 28.6mm
Rear Mech: Shimano Ultegra 6600
Wheelset: Shimano Ultegra 6700. Radially and laterally true, buttery smooth, minimal rim wear.
Cassette: Shimano Ultegra 6700 12-27, new in March.
Chain: Shimano Ultegra 10 speed
Tyres: Michelin Pro4 Endurance 28mm, new in March. I really like these tyres, although some gumwalls might really set it off...
Brakeset: Shimano R650 (Ultegra level non-series long-drop brakes) with new triple compound pads. Stops well.
Saddle: Selle San Marco Concor, black suede. Little bit of scuffing etc, but good for age.

New Shimano cables, chain, BB etc 300 miles ago. Rides superbly; the frame is a lot stiffer than I expected it to be, but still very zingy and lively.

I could possibly include the following: I have a spare set of wheels (that came on it) here, which are Deore Parallax hubs laced to Ambrosio Elite rims, 32h. The rear cones would benefit from attention. Can also chuck in a bottle cage, and some new (unfitted) SKS silver mudgards, too. Maybe even a Tortec rack, as well, if I can dig it out.

I'm looking for £750; I'd expect it to easily fetch that in parts, if I were to break it. Based in Camberwell, SE5.

Here's a few photos!

Hopefully they give a good idea of the overall condition and spec - I built it back up in March (while I was waiting for one of my other bikes to be brazed back up), and have probably done around 300 miles on it since.

Feel free to drop me a PM, and I can run you through the full spec if it's something you reckon you might be keen on.

I'm in Camberwell, South East London - I shall get some photos sorted for you over the next couple of days or so.

Considering selling my Thorn Audax (57.5) - if that's something you might be interested in. Lovely frame and fork, Ultegra 6600 groupset + 6700 wheels. Will take a 32mm tyre with ease.

Would be well within your budget.

Hey, in Camberwell SE5 still

Big clearout underway (finally).

Loads of stuff here that's all working, clean-ish and can be put to good use, but that won't win any beauty contests. Beater bits, then.

I'm based in Camberwell, SE5. Collection is best, please, unless there's a few bits that go together. Very willing to entertain offers on multiple parts. Some of it is stuff that came on this when I bought it

1) Continental GP 4 Seasons 700 x 25mm. Bit old/perished, good amount of rubber still on the tread though. **sold **
2) 25.4mm clamp trecking / bullhorn ish bars. £5
3) 1" threaded riser stem, welded cro-mo. 25.4mm clamp. £5. @sodha dibs
4) 1 1/8" silver threadless / ahead 100mm stem. Corrosion on the bolts, works fine. 31.8 bar clamp £4.
5) Deda Zero 1 80mm stem. Clean and tidy. sold
6) Kalin silver seatpost. 27.0 (ish) - looks like it started life as a 27.2 and was filed down a bit. £3
7) Shimano 5700 (might also fit 6700? not sure though) hoods. VGC £3.
8) Selle Royal black / blue saddle. £5
9) Black saddle. Actually quite comfy. £5

11) Shimano Claris flat bar brake levers, pair. Tidy, couple of light marks **sold **
12) Shimano 105 5800 short cage rear mech. One of the jockey wheels is cracked so would benefit from being replaced. Scuffed, but worked well enough. sold
13) Ass savers. Free with something else.
14) Bottle Cage Lucky Dip. Roll up, roll up. Free with something else. Think these are all gone now, might have some more somewhere
15) Shimano PD R540 SPD SL pedals. Scuffed to buggery, but bearings / mechs are v good. **sold **
16) Shimano Sora 175mm 110 / 74bcd crankset / crank arms. For Hollowtech II BB. Solid, lots of rubbing, but they're sound. Splines good. £10.

I've put money prices down, but happy to trade for dry-ish cider / forum donations / meals for homeless people or migrants, or interesting or peculiar objects.

Really like this, by the way. Looks like a riot to ride.

Go on.

Have messaged about the 3 Carradice bits.

Novatecs / A23s now gone - cheers @knowthejo

If anyone wants the Rs100 rear, I'll do it for £40. It's practically new, and a reasonable quality wheel, all said and done.

Wish I was smaller / hadn't spent all my money.

Ta!

It's actually some Bontrager stuff.
