95ish? 20" Ballistic - M737 & Ritchey kit

alwayshorizontal

Old School Hero
After much deliberation I think it's gotta go. Only because it never gets used since I discovered 'the road'!

For some overall pics please see http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84231&highlight=ballistic but I will take some more over the next couple of days (although from when the pics were taken up to today it's covered less than 50 miles)

Spec.
Frame: 20" c/t (17.5 c/c) seat tube. 24" ish horizontal TT length - 23" actual. Tubing is Tange Prestige finished in a weird paint/coating that looks at first glance like titanium. Paintwork is reasonably good but definately not pristine.
Headset: 1.125" FSA XLII, new for build (<100 miles)
Forks: Marz Z2 Lights currently set at 80mm alledged max travel from use of a travel increase kit. I have the original parts somewhere to revert back to the orignal travel. I sourced a new cable brace adaptor for these to allow them to run cantis.
Wheels: Black LX rear hub, black label free front hub, both with Mavic 221 rims. These are in an honest used condtion.
Tyres: Ritchey ZedRace WCS
QRs : Ritchey
Seatpost: Thomson Elite inline.
Saddle: Flite - well used and faded but probably good for another 15 years.
Seatclamp: Salsa bolt up
Bars & stem: Ritchey WCS (white logo versions) Stem is 110mm long
Brake levers and shifters: XT M737
Front mech, rear mech, chainset, cassette: XT M737
Brakes: XT M737 cantis (fibrax cheepy blue pads tough)
Bottom Bracket: UN91 (iirc)
Chain: KMC Z8.93 (I think - new at build)
Cables: K.ble (brakes ones have that odd black coating to reduce friction & corrosion and the gear ones have sleeving over the inner between housings)

Phew I think that's most of it covered. I did ask on the what's it worth thread but got no response so please advise me if I'm way out pricewise eitherway.

Looking for £200 collected from the South West area, or could post/freight at cost.
 
Dragged it out into the daylight and took a few pics. PM me if you want some high res versions.
If there is no interest as a complete item I may consider splitting if I get takers for the frame and forks.

That's a lovely bike, and in all honesty I wish I had space for it. I'd say far too nice to split, but if you do, I'd certainly be up for the frame, forks, stem and bars, maybe the seatpost too (I have the rest taking up space in varios places in the house, so in some way, it would be creating space - in my head anyway).
 
I like your reasoning - aounds like a common trait of many on here,
I totally forgot I'm on holiday from this weekend, but upon my return if there are no takers would you still be interested?
Tbh it would be great to sell both F&F together!

I'm sure I'd still be interested, not that I should even consider it at the moment......
 
What inside leg do you have? A friend wants a new retro ride (it will be very much cherished) - he's 6 foot with a 33" inside leg. Would probably take whole bike if it's the right size.
 
I am 6'1" tall with a 35(ish) inch inside leg (groin to ground). So it should fit him well - i.e less than a country mile of seatpost showing!!
