Hi all, sadly I need to part with my Sintesi as an injury and impending other projects force my hand. I built this from a frame off eBay, with bits almost entirely off here. It's in lovely nick, apart from a couple of scratches and wear marks on the anodising. It has a loose top rear bush (which I never got round to replacing) but overall it's pretty nice. And cheap. I don't know what it's worth, feel free to tell me I'm in dreamland...
I had everything apart, rebuilt all the bushings and cleaned everything. I had to rebuild the pedals, rear mech, cranks and brakes. I polished the Middleburn cranks with Autosol and a Dremel, they look better polished IMO.
With the exception of the tubes and saddle, everything came off Retrobike or Ebay.

I'm after £450, it is greater than the sum of its parts and I don't want to break it. It is set up and working prefectly, and I'm very sad to see it go. Try an offer if you like.
Bike is in Kent but I get around, so delivery is not out of the question.
