For sale, a nearly new (150 miles ex-dem) Traitor Exile Frame + fork.

53cm TT, 54cm seat tube, 1" headset

Traitor are a relatively new company, and I believe an off-shoot from Transition Bikes - but with a focus on classic steel road bikes.

The traitor is their 'pure' road bike - and made from japanese Double Butted Steel tubing and Very stylish Long Shen lugs

see here > http://www.traitorcycles.com/Bikes_Exile.cfm

I bought the frameset recently but now a friend has offered to build me something similar out of Columbus spirit.. so I aim to sell the traitor on... without having built it :(

Also included is a Sealed bearing Headset from Condor - the best inch threadless they had - cost me 37.99

Retail is 499 for frame and fork (I think)

Asking 220 delivered in the UK, F&F + headset

that's a nice looking frame and would make a great winter bike. :cool:
however you say in the description that it has a 1 inch headset yet you've bought a 1 1/8th headset......... :?:
just checked the link - definately requires a 1 inch :oops:
 
Nice frame, really like the cream with clean green font and nice lugs. Nearly bought one 3 years ago but they seemed oddly sized for a 5'9 - 5'10" guy?

The 53cm was a bit small but the next size up was a bit too big, nom sayin?
 
I know the box says 1 1/8 - but it's a generic Condor Headset box - It's deffo one inch ;)

I think the frame would suit someone 5'7 to 5'9" roughly
