I admit I only signed up to sell my bike, but I have been on here before under a different name a year or two ago (raweggs), and have bought and sold on here before.
I really don't want to sell this as its basically my perfect bike, but it will just be sat in the shed otherwise as I am off to Australia for a year, and I can always build another one. I spent a fair bit of money and time sourcing period correct items for it, and so everything on the bike is 2004-2006 made. A lot if not all is NEW old stock.
I have been a bike mechanic since 2002, and always build my own bikes. This ride spot on, no noises or sloppy gears!
Price is £350 OBO, as the wheels are worth over £150 alone, and today equivalent would cost you £750+
