    Bought this not so long ago and have been commuting away on it. But (please don't hate me) I picked up a Fiat Panda during the week for bringing the kids to school so that's my 4-wheeled, Italian, alternative commuter sorted! As an inevitable result, sheds need space and wives abhor the sitting-there-unused...

    So.

    I got a bargain, but I'm happy to pass that on here first. Bike is in good order. Cassette, chain headset, bottom bracket, wheels etc are all smooth and creak-free. What does need sorting out is gear-cabling. - Either adjust the old properly or fit new. I didn't bother for my 3-5 minute commute.

    200 quid.


    Edit - Oh yeah, sizing is 56 pretty much. (I'm 5 11, so - either side of that I guess)

    Does it have rack and mudguard mounts? What groupset?

    I believe it does.

    Groupset is a Shimano mix. Off the top of my head I actually can't tell you, I'd have to check. 105 levers anyway, whatever the chainset is... and it's 9 speed.

    It's a hell of a lot more affordable than a house though.

    So tempting, but also trying to buy a house
