By the seaside...
. On a serious note cool bike
Moved in here as OP has already sold his car and is unlikely to be back any time soon to add a price to this, seems to be just using the forum as an Ebay alternative. If he posts a proper ad with a price next time, it can stay.
Yes needs a price please.
£1650 each 2 for sale !
The bikes have been serviced every year although my health is getting worse which is why they are for sale , I bought the 58cm first but found it a bit too big , eventually tracked down the 56cm which I found a bit too small . sods law .
They are both extremely light for the sizes 7.5kg for the 58cm , 7.25kg for the 56cm which is light for todays road bikes , I bought a Giant TCX2 which was a cross bike waying in at 14kg it was like having one of these on your back .

Lovely looking bikes these. Saw a guy riding one during an audax in Holland and didnt know what it was. I just thought he was one of those M fanboys that put M stickers on everything! :lol:
Might be a good idea to include some closeup photos of the lovely carbon weave on the exposed bits of the frame? And maybe some of the Ultegra components as they are things of beauty in themselves.
Hope you don't mind me saying that I think it's quite a strong asking price for a 2011MY bike and the groupset is a few generations old now.
I think these would be strictly for bike collectors looking to speculate on a potentially appreciating model.
I would suggest, if you havent done so already ofc, to advertise this over on road.cc and gumtree as your market will be much more focused towards pro and collector cyclists there.
Tempting for me to have a deal with you but I'm limited for space with the 7 bikes I already have!

Hi thanks will do, I payed list on both of these and had to get one from Germany as the UK dealers just could not get hold of a 58cm. I would have ridden them more but was diagnosed with M.E a few months later.
I have lived in hope in getting better but with no luck!
The groupset still cuts it with today's as it is super smooth and a full groupset not just a half one, wheels are one off hand made for this bike.
The bikes will never be made again as the new ones are just cheap quality for massive production figures as most are given away as an insentive when buying the car.
I don't think that they made a profit on any of these as the investment plus sponsership will have cost them dearly.
You can't buy a decent bike now with 105 for under 2.5k for 7.5kg, my boy has a sram red etap supersix hi mod cost 6.5k and he likes the M Carbon as much.
