FS: Claud Butler Vicenza road bike with Tiagra groupset in pristine condition

litera

Description
Higher quality road bike Claud Butler model Vicenza in great condition for sale. Frame size is 20" and suitable for cyclists (men, women or older kids) up to 5'8" maximum height. Frame is made of aluminium 6061 T4-T6 with 12k carbon front fork. Bike is completely equipped with Shimano Tiagra groupset components with double compact crankset. Wheel reflectors will also be provided even though not seen on images.

Bike has recently been completely serviced, has brand new and never yet ridden rear tyre (Specialised Roubaix) and inner tube due to recent puncture and damage to previous tyre (some glass particle damaged it just enough that it needed replacement).

Who is this bike for?
Bike frame size, design and colour combination suits men of average height, women or children up to max 5'8" as mentioned previously. Since this bike really runs smoothly it's also suitable for enthusiast amateur racing cyclists. It has seen events Wicklow 100 and Wicklow Peaks this year with me riding it. I'm myself 172cm high which means I'm about 5'8" according to Google. I thought frame would be too small for me when I was buying it but my height was still fine...

Why selling such great bike?
I've only used this bike for the time being in Ireland (since spring 2012). And since I'll soon be moving away I'm selling it to some other happy owner. I surely liked it lots. It's definitely light enough to do decent climbs on Wicklow mountains.

Price, location and contact
Price also includes a high pressure pump (KLS produce) with manometer that alone costs about 40€. Selling all together for 480€. I'm located in Ringsend in Dublin 4. If you have any questions or are interested in this really great bike just ask.

Sorry. I've seen other's mentioning PMs so I've put info there as well. Thanks for snipping it. I've corrected it afterwards hopefully not creating a new issue.;)

I think 5'2" is in sweet spot for this frame size if your body proportions are within average. According to https://www.ebicycles.com/bicycle-tools/frame-sizer your height is in the sweet spot (19.5" to 20.5" frame size for 5'2") for this frame as it says it's 20"... And as I said I'm on the upper limit (or a little over but still) on this frame. I had to be a careful on descents to lean a bit backwards. But I'm light for my height as I only have 65kg so all in all worked ok for me.

If you're offering 300€ I think that's just not enough. This bike has done maybe 3000 km alltogether and beside bike itself I'm adding a pump bought in June 2012, cleats bought at the same time, and rear tyre and tube are completely new and never ridden. Just these parts costed me about 80€. Oh I forgot to add the 15€ new white handlebar tape that has been put on as well. All in all 300€ is too low.

I'm willing to negotiate the price a little but definitely not this low.

What latest on price...???

I understand where your coming from with the detail and pump and all that, the bike is still the same bike after all new mods added, either way its a lovely bike and im willing to go up towards 400 for the bike, can you not sell the pump seperatly...?

For now it still stands at 480€ as nobody has come up with a reasonable price that would make me reconsider it.

This is not exactly true. If you'd be buying a car with new tyres it's true that the car is still the same but it has a higher value alltogether because you wouldn't have to buy those yourself. In my case rear tyre and tube are completely new, handlebar tape has no damage whatsoever because it's been put on in June, pump is as good as new as it' been bought in June as well. And cleats are also something one doesn't have to buy themselves. So it's a save.

Yes I could sell pump separately, but that wouldn't change the price too much and if one's buying their first road bike they'll need a quality high pressure pump anyway. I'm more or less just adding it to the bike...

the way i'm looking at is its a claud butler bike with tiagra gearing on it and its second hand... no matter what additions you are putting to it.. for that reason im withdrawing my offer.

best of luck with sale

Yes it still is a Claud Buttler with Tiagra set. One that just needs a bike doens't care too much about added stuff.

But thank you anyway. Bike's now sold and new owner needed everything I added to it as it's his first road bike. Cleats and pump will come in handy...
