The person I bought it from didn’t tell me the BB shell had been repaired using a threaded insert 😡 The insert shifted slightly with a normal BB, so I Loctite’d it in and used a through-axle chainset, I’ve had no problem since.

It gets ridden once a year tops, I need to raise funds so it has to go.

Looking for £1,000
