This is the third time I've written this advert with the intention of selling, finally made the decision to let it go so here it is.
The Psyclone really is everything you'd expect it to be; comfortable, superb handling and very direct. I had this built to 24lb 1/2 with a coil sprung Marzocchi Z2 and XTR M952.
The frame is tripple butted True Temper OX3 tubing which is an air hardening steel that's incredibly resistant to impacts (think Reynolds 853 equivalent). Fillet brazed and finished in a very tough black paint. There's a few scratches on the frame as you'd expect. There's a bit of chainsuck to the metal but it's not a deep gouge just paint removed to the metal. No dings or rust. Frame has been wax oiled.
Actual top tube measurement is 21.5 c-c. Seat-tube c-c is 16", c-t is 18". Takes a 73mm bb, 27.2 seatpost and 1" 1/8 headset. I've also got a new genuine decal set to go with the frame.
The King headset is included as is courier for £375
The wheels were built for this bike and consist of red GT hubs with laser etched 'GT made in USA'. The freehub is Ti as far as I can tell. Both hubs and freehub have had new bearings. The rims are black FIR MT 232 and use double eyelets so are very strong rims if slightly heavier than the Mavic equivalent. Spokes are DT Revolutions with red nipples, wheels are built 2 cross apart from drive-side rear.
Unfortunately, I didn't realise prior to the build, that the rim on the front must have been stood on when stored. The side wall on one side is ever so slightly bent inward and can just be felt under slow speed braking. I've ridden these wheels for quite a few miles with no problems. 1900g on my kitchen scales.
I'd like £120 for these or £100 with the frame.
Prices quoted include courier to UK mainland address. Happy to send anywhere in the world at cost.
