My carbon bike isn't noisy, especially with tub wheels. It's nearly 20 years old so none of the "improvements" of modern bikes. But on the odd occasion I get out on my 653 Caygill, the complete silence always comes as a pleasant surprise!

Thanks, looks good enough to match. How much do you want for it, posted to either Spain or the UK (whichever is easiest/cheapest) ?

in NOS or very-close-to condition please. I have two fronts, both NOS, would consider swapping one for a similar condition rear. or just buying a rear. pads not needed If I can't find a rear I will have to investigate extending the threading on one of the bolts and cutting the extra length...

The bike looks great, and those tools.... 😍

No idea what it is, but I like it!

The gnomes won't get bored looking at that!

Thought they would be 🤣 🤦‍♂️

What chainset are you using?

Second in line please, just in case!

thanks everyone! just found a very good description with exploded diagram in english: https://www.yellowjersey.org/ergo1.html

The fork is hideous yet intriguing at the same time... at least someone has had the sense to balance out the front/rear weight distribution by adding that lovely kickstand!

ok, sounds as simple as I thought it would - still waiting on a new spring so not starting yet anyway.

Has anyone got a digital copy? Or know where I can find one? Have checked the manuals section but no luck. Hopefully won't need them, but just in case....

Yes, many of the early carbon "monocoque" frames very similar to this one were just rebadged. Not sure if this one is or not, and I can't remember the company.
