Not sure quite how to price this TBH.
I have owned the frame since new and it has been through many guises. Originally nickel plated, I bent the stay slightly in 1999 and then got it professinally repaired and SS dropouts put on + respray by Argos. Then it got repainted by Trestan finishers in Southampton after Argos added rear mudguard tabs about 4 years ago to turn it into a commuter.
There are some good and bad bits about the bike at the moment...
- Frame & Forks are pretty sound - paint in generally very good condition apart from some peeling/rust (I think from salt damage) near the BB, a bit of rust on brake bosses and peeling paint on stainless dropouts
- 1" Cane Creek headset, Syncros stem - vgc
- Original LX cantis - need new front pads
- Syncros 27.2mm post (shimmed) - I do have a black Orange post that is 29.6 IIRC which I will include + ti railed WTB saddle
- Front wheel - Bontrager Race - bearings tight but v worn, front rim true
- Rear wheel - SRAM 9.sl hub/717 - hub tatty but cartridge bearings sound - rim v worn and nipples pulling out the rim :-(
- Fairly new and little worn KMC chain + DX cog, front ring could do with replacement (sorry don't have any 4 arm unramped rings kicking around)
- Bonty bars
- Rear brake cable to be fitted... Oh, and I have the original P7 stickers too
So, a bit of a project but it works and there are some nice-ish bits
...all for the princely sum of --> £180 + postage --> reduced to £150
