Hi all, what a gorgeous weekend!
Well, after much thought I am selling my recently purchased Quick CX with carbon fibre upgrades, the frame and forks are AMAZING (hydroforming, features such as SAVE stays, full mounts and welding, brushed polished finish, decals under clearcoat etc etc is pure class) and the bike has disc mounts too, though admittedly the current brakes are set up well and work brilliantly!
Bike is in immaculate condition (that's not a scratch on the C logo, its a blade of grass from me cutting!) and I have a genuine reason for selling, hope the pictures do it justice though the camera kept focusing on the bricks!
Is it a road bike or is it a MTB? It's a flat bar Cyclocross, so...
The bike itself is a great steed for fast mixed urban/rural commuting and light trails, bridleways, towpaths etc (hence the Quick name and the CX model option) so it really is a versatile ride.

all of the above products were bought purposefully for this bike and have never been fitted to anything else!
My Fizik Poggio saddle changed for comfort over looks, you may wish to pop a slick black saddle on to complete the look? The original saddle, post, stem and bars were crap but the frame and forks were well worthy of the carbon additions! There is some really nice detailing too, such as the red anodising, from the headset, top cap and seat binder right down to the spoke nipples...
anyway, I'll shut up now and post the pics...
Price: £500, local personal sale preferred but delivery considered if you have your own courier in mind. Cash or if paypal preferred, charges to be covered by buyer.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend...!
