CX Bike, old frame with nearly new 105.

TheTubes

I bought this frame a couple of years ago but it took me ages to get it built up.

The frame/fork were purchased second hand.
The following were purchased new:
105 5700 Front mech
105 5700 Rear mech
CX50 Chainset
I can't remember what the cassette and chain are right now but they are either 105 or ultegra/tiagra combo. Also purchased new.
The seatpost was new also.
New headset, think it's Richey
The brakes are Frogs Bollox from planet x, new.
The bar tape is orange (that's not really a selling point, I'm just pointing it out cos it's awesome).

The saddle is a Fizik Ardea Tri, was new of another bike, same with the stem, 100mm +/-6mm.

A couple of bits were repurposed from another bike, the wheels & handlebars.
The tyres are schwalbe racing ralph.

I did 4 CX races this winter so the groupset has less than 100km on it.
I stripped it down as best I could after the last one, took out the chainset, took off the jockey wheels to try to give it a good cleanout.

Reason for selling is that it's taken me so long to build it up that my bike to work has come around again and I've negotiated a deal at home where i sell cx and winter bikes and get a new multi puropse gravel type bike.

The only think I'd look at for next season if I was keeping this bike is the front brake hangar. I bought one that went under the headset but there wasn't enough length on the steerer tube. So I just wrapped the cable over the handle bars (I think I got the idea here) and it works fine. I think you can get hangars integrated with headset a headset cup, that should work fine. The other option are v brakes, that's what was on the fork when I bought it.

I'm not sure I measured these correctly, I measured the seat tube to the middle of the collar, if it should have been measured to the middle of the junction then its a 54.

Seat tube: 56
Top tube: 55
Head tube: 11.5

Thanks, but I think it might be a bit too big for me. GLWS.
