*Update* Finally added some decent pictures and got a few more details
Testing the water with my Revell Romany serial number FR866675. Need the money and I find the riding position a bit stretched out (I have quite long legs and short torso for my height). I'll try and describe it to the best of my ability but I'm at my brothers at the moment and won't see the bike for a couple of days so I'm going off memory.
Seat tube 22" c-c
Top tube 22½" c-c
Custom spec, mostly built by previous owner-
531ST throughout hand built frame. They were made by a variety of companies including Mercian. Don't know about this one I'm afraid. Has braze-on's for front and rear racks as well as holes for concealed dynamo cable in downtube.
Can't remember much about wheels except 700c and decent tread on tyres. Straight and true. Wheels are Rigida AS26F's on Joytech hubs.
Stronglight chainset.
Dia-compe brakes hooked up to brand new Tektro RL720/520 levers.
XT derailleurs front and rear with brand new Shimano indexed downtube shifters. 21 speed
Brand new stem and handlebars with new bar tape.
Selle Italia saddle.
Will need new mudguards at some point. Currently fitted with SKS' but the front one has cracked. Also the cables are brand new but the front brake could do with rerouting as the current headset brake hanger doesn't drop enough to clear the stem. I'll include a fork crown hanger in the sale which should solve the problem.
The paint job isn't great and the buyer may wish to touch it up or respray it, but it's not desperate or anything.
Here's a not-very-good photo I found on my phone.
And a few old photos from when I first got it and it was still fitted with flats.
Obviously I'll get better photo's up when I get home. Any questions please feel free to ask and I'll answer them to the best of my ability. The bike is in a village called Eyam in the Peak District but can be taken to Derby for viewing etc.
Looking for around £200. Will throw in a brand new Blackburn Ex 1 rack if someone offers the full £200.
