I bought this ready rebuilt, I rode it for about 6 months , put it into storage and now its surplus to my needs.
Mechanically it's brilliant, everything works well, sharp brakes, shifting fast and solid, not much wear to the rims, or running gear, some chips and patina on the frame, no dings it was rebuilt and not really ridden that much when I picked it up from what I could see. Rebuilt by Ben's Cycle Workshop to a very reasonable standard.
To ride it's super responsive, very light and fast, a bit too good for a town bike really.
The frame measures: C to C seat tube: 53cm top tube: 52cm axle to axle: 98.5cm top tube to floor: 77cm
For size: I'm a tad over 5 10" but like a tall ride and this (in the photos) is how high I have the saddle for reference.
Bike is kitted out with:
Weinmann cantis
Tiaga wheelset
8X2 gears
SR Royal race chainset
Sturmey levers
Shimano shifters
Acera rear
600 front
Frame:
'Sapphire'
Sapphire frame sets
Reynolds 531 professional frame set (red label)
Cinelli BB
No braze ons apart from an unusual brake hanger
'Sapphire' stamped into the stay ends
Collection from Bristol, I'm looking for £200 ONO
