Ashley Roberts Rhyl cc is selling his tt bike and has asked me to post this for him .If you want photos go to the rhyl cc site. This may surprise a few people who know me, but I've decided to sell my Karbona road bike. It's currently set up as more of a TT bike with tribars, bar-end shifters and aero-brake levers, and it's only been used a handful of times in dry weather. Despite my modified road-going MTB being as heavy as hell with the aerodynamics of a piano, its still my favourite ultra-reliable tool of choice for riding around on, so the Karbona is spending most of the time hidden away under it's protective bed sheet . I therefore think it deserves an owner who will give it more miles to eat. Please e-mail me at the following address if interested: timetrialsecretary@rhylcyclingclub.org.uk I'm also at the Club Time Trials every Wednesday if anyone wants to catch me then. The all-important price tag is £995 for what is essentially a brand new bike. The vital statistics are: - Karbona full carbon frame Head tube is 13cm, Seat tube is 54cm measured from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube, and the top tube is 53.5cm measured from the centre of the seat tube to the centre of the head tube. Whilst it is not a 'compact' style frame, it does have a slightly sloping top tube, so it's roughly equivalent size-wise to a 55-56cm frame that has a flat top-tube if that makes any sense . - Ambrosio 'A7-a' carbon forks with aluminium steerer. Stem is currently a 3T 11cm, but I also have a 10cm and 12cm stem of the same kind available. - Campagnolo Centaur 10-speed groupset. Cranks are the alloy Ultra-Torque version, 170mm length with 53-39 rings, rear mech is the carbon version. Bar-end shifters are Record 10-speed, chain is Chorus with split-link for easy removal and cleaning, and the brake levers are Blackwell TT aero-levers. - Campagnolo Vento wheelset with 13-26 cassette and 700x23 Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tires. - BBB multi-adjustable tribars - Monoq in-line black alloy seatpost with Selle Italia C2 saddle - Comes with a saddle bag, bottle cage, 3 spare tubes and a pump.
