Old School Hero
Hi all,
First time sale so please be gentle (I have been on the forum for a while and have been a buyer before - mainly mtb). Anyway, need to sell this as wife has had a bike stolen and I need to thin out the fleet (starting with my stuff - boo!). Bike is generally in very good condition, no dents or rust that I can see (some tarnishing on bolts). There is a little touching up on the top tube, but overall its pretty good. Can't find much history on the bike, but Lotus made some pretty special carbon time trial bikes (e.g. for Chris Boardman) - it would be nice to think that these road bikes were provided as run arounds for customers of the carbon bikes (no proof of that though!). Details as follows:

Frame - Columbus SLX
Forks - matching carbon (no brand visible)
Goupset - Campagnolo (not sure what model though)
Wheels - Ridgida DP18 with Shimano RSX hubs (running smooth and pretty true)
Seatpost - Campagnolo aero 27.2mm
Saddle - San Marco Rolls
Stem - Carbon Concepts
Bars - Titec

Bought on eBay and just want to get back what I spent, so £375 (pick up fromSW8, London might be able tom post if I can track down a suitable box etc.) for the full bike. Would prefer to sell whole, but may consider splitting if there is enough interest. If I have missed anything just let me know.

Cheers.

Looks as though the forks are most likely Mizuno's (either Fiandre or P7) with a 1" carbon steerer. Weight is very light at around 450g, so the frameset is pretty light with the SLX tubing :)
 
Am I way out on pricing-type bump?

P.S. Forks may even be top-of-the-range Mizuno Alpe d'Huez, but definitely good spec. and lightweight.
