Can't really go into more detail than the title but it's for a lady, her measurements are 168cm (5'6ish) tall with a 78cm (30"ish) (measured) inside leg. She's based in the Kilkenny area but will travel a wee bit if the price is right. She has a budget of €500.

Roughly in your budget I have a Brand X, Aluminium with Carbon fork (similar frame to your old stratos I think). All black. allegedlly a small / 53, but I measure it at approx 535mm actual top tube length.

Groupset is all older Dura Ace 7700 9 speed (even the alloy seatpost is Dura Ace) except for the shifters which are the newer Tiagra 4500 9 speeds. Choice of 80mm pro-lite pedrosa stem or ITM Alu/carbon 110mm. The saddle is a BBB with cutout. Bars are BBB Inca Alu-Carbon wing shaped.

Wheels are Mavic Askiums (Silver). Specialized Ribcage Bottle Cages included, no pedals.

Here's a picture of it (with different saddle and seatpost). Don't mind the Scott logo's, it's not a Scott, I just happened to have those for a Scott I was refurbing for someone and in the end they decided to go with a different scheme, so I had them lying around and threw them on this to break up the black a bit. Can be removed easily.

When could we take a look? I'm working all weekend but could take a spin down any evening.

Captain,
I have a Spec S-Works alum that may suit also, 8spd Sora Triple throughout, with 105 calipers.
I'm in Kilkenny also.
I was building it up for a friend, but he pulled out.
