    This bike is seriously bad ass, I shall list components below:

    "Nitto", Handmade Japanese steel riser bars (prototype, one of a kind).

    "All City" star grips, red and black.

    "Spank" Tweet downhill mtb stem, purple, 50cm(or thereabouts).

    "Hope" headset, gold.

    "Sugino" 75's crankset.

    "Phil Wood" bottom bracket (bombproof).

    "Wellgo" platform pedals, white.

    "Holdfast" straps.

    "H Plus Son" 650c front rim, silver (snowflake lacing pattern).

    "Velocity" deep V rear rim, red (white spokes).

    "Formula X" high flange hubs front and rear, red.

    "Thompson" Professional seatpost, silver with a kickback (dope).

    "Brooks" Professional saddle (olive green).

    Couple of other details but thats the guts of it, the front wheel needs to be trued and the back tire is skidded to pieces but otherwise this bike is really in great condition.

    Price - €800 no offers.

    This bike is well worth that price, I know it is secondhand but the components are all top notch, the only slightly not top end parts are the hubs and even they are in perfectly good nick and I have ridden Formula X on the road for almost a decade with no major issues. If any prospective buyer wants to contact me for a rough price list of what everything cost on the bike, please do so. Its really a great bike and I will be very sad to see it go. Get it while she's hot, you won't be disappointed I promise!

    niceonetom: here ya go ->

    happytramp: yeah, I know it sounds like a lot but anyone who knows their stuff will understand. It's had €1600+ invested in it. Every component is absolutely top notch and in perfect working order, I had an offer for €1000 for it sometime back before I had decided to sell it. People pay upwards of €700 for these ready to go fixed gear bikes from shops and they come with sub standard frames not nearly as nice as this one and awful component specs that will need to be replaced within a year. Every component on this bike will last half a lifetime if cared for, it is well worth the price. :)

    Ha ha, I know. I did some quick research and checked my prices, that why I deleted my comment about it being too expensive. In fact they've gone for more with worse components. Good luck.
