For Sale Desalvo Ti Singlespeed

[Colpep]

This lovely frame was “won” at the 2006 UK Singlespeed Champs. Was my pride and joy but just not using it anymore, and haven’t for quite some time. Deserves a new home and not sitting in a shed as an object of sentimentality. Would love to see someone build it back up into something rad!

Singlespeed only with EBB
Very rare. In fact I’ve never ever seen another so could be a one-off.
26” wheel but could possibly squeeze in a 27.5
Few marks on the decals but frame is great condition.
17.5”

£700 ono

Super cool frame, and brilliant history.

Image 10/10 show a mark on running around the weld on seat tube … is it ok?

 

[pictonroad]

Yeh, isn't that a fair sized crack?

 

[Colpep]

Wow. I honestly never noticed that but yes, there is a crack on the left hand side which is highly unusual . On inspection it looks like the top of the seat tube was welded as a separate section. You’d think I’d notice after all these years! Here are some picks. Also some slight marks on the toptube from à Morvelo sticker (my old company) as I had this bike when I started it. Presume this could be removed but not 100%

Needless to say Im happy to reduce the price to whatever someone feels is a fair deal. It still deserves a new home and life, so keen to move it on still.

 

[Colpep]

Given the above happy to consider any offers if anyone feels it could be of use. Better that than sitting in a shed

If you're the original owner there might be a warranty option available to you.

You started Morvelo! My favourite clothing company. I've got loads of the old Morvelo kit, used to fill my car up at the Brighton Big Dog. The RAD shorts are the greatest bike shorts ever created.

Thanks!

Got to say the RAD shorts have been my favourite bit of kit and first prototype is still getting used now!

Will have a check. But with Desalvo in the US and me in the UK could be tricky. Will see if my contacts at Enigma could handle a repair.

Remember you winning this in Bristol Oli.
