Hello,
As part of big clear out I'm selling my Van Nicholas Chinook complete build. I wanted to offer here as a complete first but if there's no interest I'll break it.
Size 62cm, so mostly aimed at the 6ft+ crew.
Spec:
Van Nicholas Chinook titanium frame 62cm – see chart here for geo:

Fact carbon fork (yes the steerer needs cutting down but I never got round to it)
Mix of Campag record and mirage 9speed groupset, all in good order, shifts smoothly, brakes stop you and the BB spins well. Cassette and chain have lots of life left.
Thomson stem and seatpost
Soma HWY bars
King headset
Mavic Ksyrium wheels
I have taken saddle and pedals off, however I have a Brooks swallow that came of the bike that I'd be happy to include.
I love this bike – it wants to go fast but has a lovely smooth ride. Selling because I just got a salsa warbird ti that will replace two bikes with one, which is important, apparently.
Really don't know what it's worth because I've built it up over gradually but frame and fork alone retails at £950. Offers around £1200 sound reasonable?
I'm in Brockley, SE London and any one interested is very welcome to come and test out for size.
