What is the spec on this bike?

Also what height are you?

cyclocross! · 13-02-2014 4:44pm

Apologies I did not realise the original link was dead!

Link here - http://www.focus-bikes.com/en/bikes/2013/cyclocross/mares-cx/mares-cx-30-1.html

Exact same as link with Shimano CX 70 Crankset rather than FSA.

I am 6" 3'.

LCD · 14-02-2014 8:05am

I`ll check it out. Sounds like could be a bit too big for me. I am shade under 6.2

cyclocross! · 14-02-2014 9:57am

I would say it could be ok. I have plenty of seatpost on show. Pm me and we can organise to meet up and you can take a look. I am in Kilcock area.

LCD · 14-02-2014 1:42pm

Any chance you can stick a photo up?

cyclocross! · 15-02-2014 10:27am

Will stick a couple of pics up this evening or tomorrow.

cyclocross! · 17-02-2014 9:02am

Here you go. It has Vittorria road tyres on at the moment which I will throw in with the original Continental cyclocross tyres if you are interested.

LCD · 17-02-2014 12:15pm

Thanks for that. I did a bit of searching & see Eurocycles have the same bike on sale for €1,140. For second hand I would be offering a lot less than you are looking.

cyclocross! · 17-02-2014 2:57pm

No worries LCD. That Eurocycles bike is a 2012 model which comes with a Shimano 105 drivetrain. Focus changed their range in 2013 to include an Ultegra Di2 model which they called the CX2 replacing the Ultegra drivetrain model and making the Ultegra model the CX3. The one I am selling is a 2013 which comes with a full Ultegra gear system and a Shimano cx70 chainset which is cyclocross equivalent to Ultegra. Not sure if spec makes a difference to you but just letting you know.

Summary:
2012 CX1-Dura Ace/CX2-Ultegra/CX3-105
2013 CX1-Dura Ace/CX2-Ultegra Di2/CX3-Ultegra/CX4-105

Offer 800

cyclocross! · 24-04-2014 7:08pm

Thanks for the offer Kidd. Afraid I could not go that low. This bike is very high spec and low use. The lowest I will go is €1,000 and throw in set of vittoria rubino road tyres and some tubes. I am in Maynooth, Kildare and Dublin City for work if you want to take a look.

thekidd147 · 24-04-2014 7:18pm

Might be able to make 900, sure pm me if you change your mind. In Kildare myself so I can nip across to kilcock.

cyclocross! · 24-04-2014 8:03pm

Probably not, but will think about it.

geodesic · 24-04-2014 9:02pm

I'm guessing the the XL frame would be too large for a six footer like myself?

Well, 183.7cm to be exact

geodesic · 24-04-2014 9:09pm

Second question ...

Would the groupset be the old 10 speed Ultegra (6700 series), or the new 11 speed Ultegra (6800 series) released in 2013?

cyclocross! · 25-04-2014 1:23pm

To be honest i am not sure about the size for someone 187.3cm. As I have said here there is plenty of seat post on view but I do know. 187.3 is actually 6" 1' according to the converter I have so could be fine. I also know frame size relate more to inside leg length than height. I can meet you so you can try it if you want. Groupset is indeed 10 speed Ultegra 6700.

geodesic · 25-04-2014 4:40pm

I'm 183.7cm, not 187.3cm!

(183.7cm == 6ft 5/16in)

cyclocross! · 25-04-2014 7:13pm

Duh!Oh yeah, sorry about that! No worries if you want to take a look anyway let me know.

geodesic · 26-04-2014 12:07pm

Thanks for the offer cyclocross, but after doing a bit of research I'm thinking your bike (nice tho it is!) has fallen into an awkward inter-generational gap.

With the Ultegra now gone 11spd, and the Focus CX bikes all moved to disc braking, my valuation wouldn't be in the same ballpark as your asking price.

thekidd147 · 28-04-2014 8:35pm

Offer asking, 1000 euro.
