Collect just outside Waterford €800 ono.

Tried this out as a Flat Bar build but it didn't make me smile, great but the geometry doesn't work that way, I was striking knees against the frame when climbing on the pedals.

I've made some upgrades/downgrades from the original build. When I say New I mean it has covered under 200 miles.

Brakes: New Mechanical Spyre Rd, Rotors are Shimano 160mm Front and Rear. Pads are Shimano Compatable and cheap to replace.

Cranks: New Rival OCT (hollow forged) with 42 Tooth Narrow Wide. If you want to change the build to 36-46 I have new SRAM Powerglide 10 speed rings and Tiagra Braze on Mech (moderate wear) with the necessary cables.

Shifters: Sora 9 Speed 9x2 Used but in immaculate condition.
Cassette: Shimano HG50 11-26 Used moderate wear
Chain: Sram 9 speed moderate wear
Rear Mech. Tiagra 9 Speed moderate wear.
Tyres are original Clements these have never been used, I had 42mm Continental SpeedRides fitted. There looked to be another 3mm each side of the chainstays so 45mm tyres should fit easiy

All the other parts are original and have covered minimal mileage.

Sizing, it's XL and I'm guessing if you're 6'2" it should fit, a quick way to think of it is, the Bars are 46cm wide, so if your shoulders are that broad at the End of the Acromion, then chances are you're tall enough.

Bike is too big for me, I've tried it with a short stem and it works well enough, I'll need use smaller bars and it'd be lovely.

Price Drop €700, parts of the groupset are below par hopefully this price reflects the shortcoming.
