I did shop around! This was not my first rodeo! It's just that Wiggle was cheaper in a lot of cases in this build, but I did use several others too.

Like I said, if I don't get £1200 ish, then I wont bother selling it at all. I do have space to hold another bike, but it's not ideal, so I'll just go with that.

Thanks for copying those rules and advisories, but where would I have found them if you hadn't copied them?

Where are these rules then? I can't see them anywhere. If they were desperately important, I would think they would be pinned somewhere for all to see.

I wasn't being snotty, just telling it like it is.

I've just had a look through the spreadsheet I kept of the build and it is actually £1750 odd. That's not including any delivery costs of the items and most of the parts I tried to get from Wiggle, where I get the platinum level discount. So, not quite the 2k I said, but there you go.

Please don't bother with offers of £650. The bike is a) mint and b) awesome. I am completely happy with it and only want to sell to make some space for something in Ti. If it's not going to sell at around the £1200 mark, I won't bother selling it at all.

I'm looking to sell my mint condition, 2015 Genesis Croix de Fer which I recently built, using very high spec components. It is a Reynolds 725 frame with a carbon fork.
It has only done circa 500 miles since building it.

It is built on Exal LX17 rims on XT disc hubs with Sapim stainless spokes, 36/32. Schwalbe Durano Plus tyres.
Full Ultegra 10 speed group set with 170mm cranks - 50/34. Carbon brifters and carbon pedals. Cassette is 11-23 with a Dura Ace chain.
Fizik R1 stem, R3 Seatpost and R3 Cyrano handlebars, Avid BB7 discs with Yokozuna cables. Fizik Aliante Versus saddle.
All disc, rotor and bottle cage bolts are titanium.
The frame was supplied by Eighteen Bikes and came with the Genesis supplied FSA headset already fitted. As part of them supplying it, the BB shell and head tube were faced for me.

Only reason for sale - I want a Van Nicholas with Campagnolo and just don't have space for it, so something's gotta go and I'll be damned if the Surly LHT is going anywhere soon!

Spec like this, puts the build at almost £2k, so if you are interested, make a sensible offer.

I may consider splitting at some point, but for now, it is a complete package only.

Location in Royston, Herts - half hour from Kings X.

I'll get a pic up tomorrow.

...what bike or frame would you like to have and why?

I fancy treating myself to something special and quite fancy a Pretorius frame.

What other bikes and frames are people wishing they could have if they could?

Talisin, I'm very interested in your bike. I've PM'd you.

I've sent you a PM.

Sorry, of course....56cm.

I have always lusted after a Colnago, ever since my racing days, but I could never afford one.
I am now in a position to be able to buy something nice/cool/awesome/desirable for a lightweight, fair-weather bike.

I don't really know what I want though! I'm not particularly bothered by frame material - it can be either steel, aluminum or carbon - but my only stipulation is that it is in either Rabobank or Mapei colours only.

From what I can gather from research, the bikes I desired were Master's, Master Olympic's and C40's.

It can be either complete or as a frameset only.

This is what I'm after:

What have you got?

I sent you a PM.

Man, I'm so tempted by this. I've just blown a wad of cash on a new Croix and am going to South Africa in a week, so money is thin on the ground.

If this is still available when I get back, I'll have it.
