Wanted road frame

Blazer1980

Thinking of buying a frame for racing and want to see what's out there second hand first. I ride a 55cm lapierre at the moment but looking for something more stiff budget of around €800

I was just thinking the same thing myself. Hard to believe its genuine at that price

RidleyRider

True true, there must be a marking on them to differ between the real thing and 'chinarellos'

Completely different product, but was in with a Husqvarna dealer who knows his stuff, and he said under a visual inspection he can't tell genuine husqvarna from Chinese fake.

Not unless he just happened to have two of them!

"English Bottom Bracket" is a give away - Genuine Pinarellos will have an Italian thread BB!

Well spotted!! I would be surprised if one couldn't tell the difference if they were properly familiar with the genuine article.

Looks like it could be a ribble stealth for me if nothing comes up on this

That's an Chinese RB004. You can tell because of the flat chain stay on one side.

RidleyRider

Well spotted lads, didn't even think of the BB!

Thanks docman leave it with me to think about. From what I have read up the Hercules se is the race version which is what I'm looking for. What height does this frame suit. Thanks

TheDocMan

5`10 - 6`1 from what i can see. Take you time.
As far as im aware our greatest Olympian Road Racer- Ciaran Power rode this exact type of bike for many years on his return to cycling.

A bit of a long shot would you take €800 for the complete bike

TheDocMan

More than a long shot- bit of a non shot!

Hi docman I have been checking out the geometry on that frame and it's a little bit too big for me good luck with the sale

TheDocMan

All sold at the W/E, thanks. Good luck.

Hey sorry for the delay replying, I am based in Leopardstown. I am 175 cm with long legs (also 85) and a short torso, as I mentioned in original post reach was too long for me but would probably be fine for you. No problem viewing but bike has been dismantled so not sure how you will test fit. Let me know if you are still interested in viewing.
