I purchased this bike from a bike engineer, who kept this bike in perfect working order. ( I really do mean perfect )
I never really had a chance to use it properly, only for 2 short rides of about 20 miles each. (And a few trips around the park) So I have put less that 100 miles on this bike. And the engineer only took it out a few times in summer. It has always been stored out of the way indoors ( as you can see in photo ) and is therefore in truely immaculate condition.
There are a couple of tiny imperfections which i have done my best to show in the photos, one miniscule chip in the paint underside of the frame. One nick in underside of saddle leather, unless like me you are a perfectionist you will not even notice these. There is a wear mark on the inside of the cranks (see photo), but the outside is perfect both sides. Other than these tiny points the bike is basically brand new.
The photos were taken in a rush and therefore you may be able to see a bit of dust on the frame / spokes this does in no way reflect the actual finish which is perfect and untarnished. I will try and clean the bike and replace the photos if I have time. If your worried about corrosion or anything I can send a clearer / cleaner photo! ( There is no corrosion on frame )
The bike is mainly white with black and red accents.
It has all been colour paired and is by far my favourite looking bike. I will be absolutely gutted to see it go, but since moving I no longer have the space to keep 3 road bikes.
I’m selling in a hurry and expecting it to go for way less than it’s really worth so grab yourself an effectively new bike for chips here.
Any questions please ask away!
If you want to drop by and have a look, no problem at all.
Requests for photos etc are also welcome.
Many thanks for looking, keep on cycling.
Joe
