    Its the 2008 model - I bought it from Hollingsworth cycles.
    I have used it as a trainer and as a commuter and won't lie the paint looks a bit tired with a big scratch on the forks, however its been serviced and is in good running order.

    €300 or nearest offer I think, otherwise its not worth my while selling. I will include the BBB pedals also.

    Thanks
    Rob

    What size frame is it?
    Can you please post some pics?
    Thanks.

    if it's a 58cm, I'd like a look at this please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,504 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    How deep is the scratch?

    +1 on the pics and more details.

    I'm 6' 3" and would be very interested if it were the size for me...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,863 ✭✭✭RobAMerc


    Hi all,

    I cannot believe I forgot to put the size on it !

    Its a 56cm.

    Its more of a graze along the front fork where it rubbed against a low wall at work - it in no way effects the bikes handling or frames integrity or anything.

    Thanks for looking lads
    Rob

    Reckon that's a touch too small for me unfortunately :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭flickerx


    I could just about do with a 56, might be a bit big but I think I prefer a slightly larger frame.

    Can you please post some pics up - or at least even put a link to a stock photo of the bike so I can get an idea of what it looks like, and what the components are. I'm definitely interested. Thanks.

    Hi,

    I am in Sutton, North Dublin.

    I can bring it into the green if required as I commute by bike.
    Or meet on the way to or from work on the route to Sutton.

    Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭flickerx


    I'm interested. I'll come view it from Friday lunchtime onwards. I dont mind going to Sutton, I've no job so I've loads of free time. PM me your number or address and we can arrange a time.

    What colour frame?

    Sorry Flickerx - I only spotted your reply now, dblennon is coming to see it tonight, if nothing comes of it your very welcome to organise a viewing over the weekend.

    But to be honest - if its the wrong size for you I wouldn't buy it - you could end up very uncomfortable on a bike that's the wrong size.

    It would be worth your while checking with your LBS before buying second hand as wrong size = loads of pain imo.

    Its Black , for whomever asked about colour.

    One of the fixies I have is a 56 frame and I dont have any problems with it, and I rode a rented 56 allez elite earlier in the summer so it would be suitable for me. If dblennon doesnt go for it, please let me know, I'll come anywhere, anytime on Friday - I just have to go to London soon for a job interview tomorrow morning and I'm not back until tomorrow night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,863 ✭✭✭RobAMerc


    the bike has been sold to DBLennon

    thanks for all the replies.

    best of luck with the interview flickerx
