Are the 3dv bolts for cantis? If so could I please take them (not s worried about the spacers so someone else could have them. Also could I get the mech protector please?

It's got a whacking great dent in the down tube...

I’m not sure heat will do much to the clear coat if they’re lacquered in. Possibly some thinners applied sparingly to try and remove it but it could damage the decal underneath.

Heat with a hairdryer - slowly and from a distance or it could blister the decal. Put the frame somewhere warm to start with to raise it's ambient temperature. Dependent on the decal could try some dental floss underneath if you can get a purchase by lifting a section.

Think I've a DX one, will need a bolt. I'll look tonight

Full red ano looks great - and the Ringle stem works really well. Some sneaky blue accents hit the Brit kit theme. Love it!

What a piece of art, and looks like it has been used as intended. I keep seeing additional details each time I look. Stunning. What are those pedals? I’ve never seen them before.

I have to say, I struggle with this as well. I'm not sure I've ever really ridden on the drops on my gravel bike. My body just doesn't work like that after 30 years of MTB. Hoods all the way... I also struggle with the width of the bars - so used to something wide and twirly, but drops tend...

Absolute unicorn fork. WOW

If the front hope hub isn't cracked (it will be though won't it) then there's your £40 back straight away. Let alone the frame and fork. Looks massive though! Best £40 you'll probably ever spend on a bike.

Cantis open up a whole world of anodised trickery, not lest as cable hangers are one of my favourite things in Chill Pill form - but (shoot me now) they will realistically never match the V's. That said, I'm a sucker for a PC5 lever and some 987's. We all rode cantis quite happily until we saw...

In a world where the question of "repairable or not" comes down to how much you're willing to spend - I'd say thats fixable by a framebuilder. Might be a bit "involved" but nothing's not-doable - and might need to do both bosses at the same time to get them identical. It'd need a respray...

I have to agree with the above. Thats a pretty unusual colour for a C16 and it looks absolutely bloomin fab in that last pic you've put up. Strip it to F&F and hang it somewhere as a memory. Flog some of the finishing kit and you could still have a ton in your pocket at the end of it. You'll...

Assuming it's a 1 1/8 "steerer" on the converter then I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use any stem as long as it was the same as the steerer - you might need some spacers as that Azonic looks chunky AF. I've got a drawer full so happy to karma them if it helps.
