    For sale, the bike I bought from Blorg in March this year.

    Stem_thumb.jpg SaddleAndPost_thumb.jpg
    Front_thumb.jpg RearBrake_thumb.jpg

    A really nice ride, but I've since bought a new bike and don't need two so similar.

    Components as per Blorg's previous ad, except:

    - Fizik Microtex Handlebar Tape, White, slightly discoloured.
    - Pro Vibe 7S Round Road bars
    - Ritchey WCS Alloy 4AXIS 44 Stem
    - Selle Italia Filante, small rip (pictured) from fall on a different bike

    Ultegra shifters/brakes/rear mech, 105 front mech.

    €900, based in Clonsilla (Dublin 15).

    Also, first call on the following components:

    - Specialized Toupe 143 Saddle (white), €55 including new boxed white Fizik Microtex Handlebar Tape.

    - FSA SL-K Carbon Seatpost, 350mm length, 31.6mm diameter, €40. Slight scuffing of the clearcoat, will probably buff out.

    I'd be interested in this, but I could only offer 600, at a stretch.

    C'mon man, this bike has been riden by Blorg! It's worth twice what Lumen is asking for!

    Ridden by Blorg then by Lumen is like bidding on a jewel encrusted jumpsuit worn by Elvis in Hawaii, then worn by an Elvis impersonator from Tokyo.

    Still, cracking bike at a good price. Carbon and full Ultegra, plus the second owner is completely anal so you know it was never mistreated.

    Might be up for the seatpost, I'll be back.

    Thanks El Pato.

    If no-one offers asking price before midnight tonight, the bike is yours.

    Cheers all. Delighted with the purchase, feels very sturdy for so little weight. Looks cool too ;-) This is actually my first bike, getting out to improve my fitness and hopefully get racing in time.
    Now to purchase helmet, gear etc and get some half decent weather and go out on my first proper spin!
