Sadly, having fallen for something else and placed an order, my almost new Parlee Z5i frameset has got to make way.
It's a Medium: http://www.parleecycles.com/z5i-geometry/
As you can see, it's a custom paint job, which means I tailored it to my tastes...Hopefully someone else will like my style :D
The frame is matte black and the white bands are gloss. The matte / gloss combination looks awesome and attracted a premium price due to the difficulty in joining the gloss and matte paints. It means it's a one-off and you'd be unlikely to see another. The photos really don't do the finish justice.
I ordered the frame from Primera Sports in December 2013 and collected it in March 2014. Since then it has been used as my special occasion bike only. It honestly has not seen rain or dirty roads and has covered approximately 1000 miles. It is mint. I can't see a mark on the paintwork.
The basic price for the Z5i frameset is £3200. With the custom paint job I paid just under £3700. This is for the frame, forks, headset, seat clamp and front mech hanger, which is exactly what is for sale here.
I recently installed new SRAM Red 22 onto the bike (only 4 weeks ago...my new love affair has been a whirlwind) and will leave the internal cables in place. They are brand new (50 miles).
The photos below are of the bike fully built as it's being stripped right now. I will post more detailed photos as soon as i have them.
It's a beautiful, custom frame. A real head turner. Someone is going to get a bargain, which is my loss. Parlee offer a repaint service at anytime so the frame is timeless. The frame will take mechanical or electronic gearing. You'll note the steerer has been cut between the two sets of photos.
Available to view in Bournemouth.
Price: £2300

After a revelation with my bike fitting led me to lose all my 54 bikes in favour of 52s, I'm selling my fabulous Langster.
I bought it second hand last winter and I think it's the 2012 model, but stand corrected if anyone knows better.
Frame is in good condition. It's all the standard stock parts bar the stem and obviously, being a SS all is in perfect working order. There is some surface rust on the fixings on the calipers and on the stem just from me not drying it after the odd wet ride. There is also a bar end cap missing but I'll endeavour to replace this. Rear Ultremo has a gash which I'm amazed hasn't caught me out on the last few rides so I'll replace this with something used but in better nick.
A superb introduction to the world of SS / Fixie fun.
42T front chain ring, flip flop hub with 16T fixed or 17T single speed (freehub).
Located in Bournemouth. Don't really want to post. Can meet within reason.
£225 collected (Colnago bottle cage not included).
