Thanks everyone. Saffron has pinged me a deposit and I'll be in London Saturday with the bike, so that should be that.

Will update thread Saturday, but for all purposes this is now sold.

.

@Saffronspokes, thanks for intervening with the peer pressure.

Bike is sold to Saffron's mate pending payment.

Bro, you just made me cry. You better sit down for what I'm about to say:

Sold it in a moment of weakness. Went to try and claw it back six months later and the dude had been taken down by a van and killed the bike. He was fine. But killed the bike. :(

Thanks for the bump and fist bump, sorry for the news.

Thanks for the shout. If split happens, Thrasher has dibs and you got second dibs.

Price-wise: £400 for the wheels and 3 tires if the rest of the bike goes for £1,100.

Thanks for the shout, @Thrasher.

Don't want to split, although if someone transfers me £1,100 and says they don't want the wheels, you could have them for £400.

Couple of pictures.

Picked up this frame and wheels from @swedeee a while back here in the forum. Size 58

Have since then built it up with Red22 HRD, including a long cage rear mech and matching red22 11-32 cassette. 160mm rotors back and front.

Wheels are Light Bicycle rims on Tune King Kong hubs, 32 spokes back and front, running Schwalbe Pro One 25mm tyres (tubeless all set up). Front tyre has 300 km on it, rear tyre has plenty of life left. Got a brand new Pro One 25mm which I can throw in the deal.

Sold with same generic carbon seatpost it came with, bontrager alloy bars, bontrager Montrose elite 138 saddle. No pedals nor cages.

Selling as moved to the Peak District and need something with knobs.

£1,500

Bike is up in Cheshire and can meet around here. Will also drive down to London over the weekend (27th of June) and can take it down then also.

Bought something else as nothing in the right size showed up at the time. Thanks

Number 3 on the queue.

Yup. Dibs.

All of the 1999 tour pics (when USPS were rocking the livery on Packer's frame) have double STIs. :)

Only going up Huez.

Sick. And those wicked 7700 TT chain rings. Schwiiiiing.

Done the same thing a little while back, but went down the thread cutting and 101 stem route.

Whatever way you go, it's gonna be a sick bike when you're finished.

Chapeau

Sup bro. I'm on the same boat here. My first road bike was a 5200 back in the day.

Fast forward to 2015 I got myself the same 5500 you've got. It came with full 7700 but not 100% true to the 1999 bike (i.e. it head a threadless headset instead of threaded).

I rode it for about a year as such, stripped it, went modern (Columbus minimal fork, Dura ace 9000, zipp 808s, etc). As a matter of fact, my profile pic here on LFGSS is me racing a crit on that bike in its second iteration.

Fast forward a bit, that bike got stripped and I went full, 100% true to, 1999 bike build. That include sourcing out what was an incredibly hard to find one inch thread cutter (thanks Mattias!) and an even harder shop willing to give the threading a go (thanks TLC near Clapham Common!).

The bike is now exactly as per the 1999 pics you'll find on the webz. Right headset, stem, bars, bar tape, groupset, sick Mavic Heliums (you'll find pictures of the team riding heliums (red hubs and rims) and some other mavics. I went for heliums cause of how the red worked with the frame).

Aaaaaanywho, that project has kept me busy for the past five years. I still ride that bike and love it to bits.

Shout if I can help.

Lightweights still for sellz?

There's a wanted section in the forum for, you guessed it, wanted items.

I woke up as the wanted police today.

Ace, PM'd!

Thanks, but don't wanna swap BB from GXP to hollowtech.

Thanks, Gintas! I'll wait and see if I get some options larger than a 52 for the time being.

Sorting out a TT bike from my weight weenie bike, so 50-34 won't do.

Anyone got some regular or big GXP cranks sat around? Thanks.

Got a stupid road bike time trial project going on so need one of these 3t Aeronova handlebars (as they take clips and have stupid long reach).

Anyone? Help keep a brother busy through quarantine!

Thanks

Yo dick!

I'll take the sram red 22 chainrings bro.
