£495 complete bike as shown in latest build thread entry https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/pioneer-no-3-red-or-dead.489226 and pictured below
The frameset has had professional dip, strip, powder coat and is in peachy condition. It is , like a lot of Pioneers, mixed tubing of unknown pedigree. My guess is columbus and Reynolds. The size is small to medium, sloping top tube and high bottom bracket plus decent length seat post mean a good fit for folks 5ft 7 to 5 ft 10 I reckon* The fork is non original but is a nice light 'spinner' threaded 1"
New Parts: 1x9 drivetrain is new Microshift Advent with clutch mechanism and light action shifter , XLC cantis, Tektro levers, Easton bar , Rito stem, 9 speed chain, Raceface narrow wide chainring, surly rear hanger, kidsracing cable triangles, new campy outer cables and teflon coated inners and sundry blingy red anodised finishing bits including lovely seat clamp and flashy red anodised QR skewers
Headset and BB are both new as is the Selle Italia saddle.
Used: Panaracer SS tyres on smooth Hope XC hubs ( which are in mint condition). Mavic front rim X517 and aeroheat rear. The gearing is 38T front to new 11T-38T cassette. 300mm black stem. used unmarked pedals and cranks
the above price is for Retrobike members and is barely meeting the cost of the frameset, wheelset, parts and paint job, if not sold to a forum member, I will move this on to Ebay thereafter and price will go up to try to break even.
collection from Cheshire preferred, can arrange to meet soft southerners somewhere convenient - *PM me to discuss or to request additional measurements
these don't come up that often and don't usually look this nice. This one has the added advantage of really sharp and reassuring braking, smooth shifting and no chain slap while retaining retro looks.
