Withdrawn Barron 653 with complete Shimano Santé groupset

[KondratievsBike]

Having rashly promised my teenaged son half the garage for a gym I’m having to downsize.

So I’m selling my Barron 653 with Santé groupset if anyone fancies a less well known but beautifully built addition to their collection.

£395 collected from Wakey in West Yorks or probably about an extra £45 insured with Paisley Freight.

Reduced to £325 but Paisley Freight has gone up to 60

Lovely flam paint job! Size might help, although it looks too big for me.

You could keep it and he could ride the bike instead of lifting weights... Everybody wins?!

I've never seen that group set before, introducec in 1986 appardntly. I take it that it was replaced with something else?

I like your thinking! Actually might just make him exercise outdoors generally!

Nah it just sort of drifted away :-(

It was kind of between 600 and Dura Ace and only lasted a couple of years. It was a bit of a poseurs groupset I think (although I was only in my late teens so to me anything Shimano with indexing was out of my reach so I might just have told myself that to make myself feel better).

Lovely, but still can't see the size? Cheers, J.

Finally got it back from my partner’s garage and measured it type bump.

Seat tube is 51cm C2C and 53 C2T
Top Tube is 54cm

Thanks, just a tad too small. J
