?575
Picked up from Lewisham and ridden home.
44-13T too high so fitting 17T Condor cog.
The ebay bait:
Soma Fabrications, believed to be a “Rush” frame but has no “Rush” logo on frame but frame geometry of 55cm centre of BB to top of seat tube and 55cm centre of seat tube to centre of headstock and 120mm rear axle spacing bears this out. Reynolds 631 steel tubing
Bought by my eldest son 3 yrs ago and he’s hardly used it ie 3/4 times. Spec is Campagnolo Crankset 170mm/42T, BB, F&R brakes, Levers. Not sure what groupset but not Record or Chorus.
Phil Wood High Flange Track Hubs 36H anodised in black. Flip/Flop rear with Shimano 18T freewheel and 13T fixed sprocket with Phil Wood stainless lockring. Mavic CXP33 700c rims and Vredstein Fortezza 23mm tyres. Handbuilt with stainless spokes. Wheels are true.
ITM Millenium carbon forks, Selcof Headset, ITM Forged Lite Lux Stem 110mm c-c, Thorius Palm Bars, System-Ex seatpost 27.2mm and Flite Saddle. Weight by Bathroom scales 19 pounds.
This was bought by my son who is well known for his fads and this was just another example, used a few times then I put it in loft for storage as it was in the way. There are a few minor hairline scratches on frame and some slight lacquer damage on downtube (shown in picture) paint marks where axle bolts tighten and a few cosmetic marks on bars/stem. Chain has some minor surface rust due to lack of use. Overall in very good condition. No Pedals are included with this bike.
I’ve used the wheels on another bike but only approx 300 miles worth. I believe this cost originally 1200 to buy. The reserve is 525 and Buy it now of 575 I think is fair.
Delivered free in local area to Dartford (not Essex) or parts of SE London or can meet you somewhere maybe….much preffered to packing this up….which will be done in proper bike box and lots of care taken to see it arrives safely. If wanting delivery Paypal payment still reqd up front to stop timewasters. If you’re after free delivery check with me before bidding.
Update – July 2009:
I never posted this when I bought the Soma so I figured since I’ve sold it I may as well post it. The frameset sold for ?150 in the end, a total mid-week bargain. I still have the FSA Vigorelli cranks that replaced the Campag cranks Prav bought which I’ll probably sell. The 105 calipers are still here after Wayne bought the original Campag Athena calipers. The tyres were given away, the 17T Condor cog is still here, the wheels were sold to bigfella, the bar/stem are waiting to be sold. The saddle and post are still here.
