Hi all,
I have here a Dave Mellor complete bike I'd like to sell.
This bike is mechanically sound. I've gone through the whole bike making sure all the things that shouldn't move don't and all the things that should move do. The frame does have 3 dents. 2 on the top-tube and one on the down-tube. These dents aren't that big so if you did ever repaint the bike a skim of filler would sort them out, the tubes are not kinked.
Paint-work does have quite a few chips. The primer is super strong on this bike so the chips have only gone down to it rather than through to the metal so the bike won't suddenly turn into a rust heap. This colour is a exact colour match for those permanent marker CD pens so you could go nuts with one of those!
This bike has some stunning features such as the pin-striped seat-stays and understated gold lug-lining.
All bearings and cables run smooth through the bike. Chainset recently changed to a Shimano external BB setup which is a fantastic improvement.
Spec:
.Dave Mellor frame + forks - reynold's 531 competition. 59cm seat-tube (centre to top)
57cm top-tube (centre to centre)
. Shimano 105 headset
. Cinelli Giro bar + stem
. Brand-new Ritchey bar-tape
. Unbranded fluted seatpost + french saddle
. Shimano Exage brakes
. Campagnolo rear mech
. Campagnolo shifters (not matching)
. Shimano Exage front mech
. Shimano chain-set + bottom-bracket
. Crap plastic pedals
. Rigida front wheel
. Weinmann rear
. Michelin tubes and tyres (tyres could do with replacing soon)
I'd like £225 for this bike please.
