    This was my summer tourer, used for 500-600k max. It's the old style Frame
    as shown here
    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=22823
    but has the same Geometry as the new one
    http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FRPXKV2/planet-x-kaffenback-swap_out-frame
    So it's a 54cm cro mo frame with almost matching brown on one pompino forks (exact same spec as Kaffenback forks but a different colour).
    Spec
    Wheels Miche Team Box Hubs on Rigida Flyer SL rims
    Cassette Primato 8 Speed (Shimano Spacing)
    Tyres Conti Gatorskin 25mm
    Chain Mavic 10 speed with detachable link.
    Rear Mech Shimano 105 medium cage
    Front 105 Triple
    Crankset Stronglight Triple 50,40,30 with 172.5 arms
    Shifters Dia Compe bar end friction
    Brake levers Dia Compe V Brake specific
    Brakes Shimano V Brake (not sure but think it's the one that's lower in spec than deore)
    Headset FSA intelliset
    Planet X finishing kit, think the bars are 42cm.

    There's a little paint damage on the forks (labelled) and a little on the braze ons from racks.

    A few questions:

    Will those hubs take a Shimano (or SRAM) cassette?
    The shifters for the rear, are they purely friction or can they be switched to indexed?
    If they have indexing, how many gears?

    Hi Pete,
    The hubs only take Miche cassettes (nearly the same pattern as shimano but with an extra little hump) so you're stuck with 8 gears in the rear. The spacing is Shimano/Sram), seems nice quality all the same.
    The bar ends are friction only.

    Cheers. I'm looking for a bike like this at the moment but I'm out of the country for a few weeks. If its not sold by the time I'm back, I might put in an offer.

    Can you deliver to Dublin? If so I'd be interested in doing business

    Sorry CR, I'm not a driver and I'm not up for a 70 miler in this weather (injured too).
