Kinesis MaxLight XC frame, available for collection only. Quality lightweight 7005 aluminium frame using Easton's top-end Ultralite taperwall tubing, very well reviewed. It comes fitted with a complete Hope Headset in good working order, and a seatclamp QR. It weighs exactly 1790g inc headset, so the bare frame weight is about 1.7kg! It has a new gear hanger after I managed to strip the thread on the old one. The frame is 17.25" centre-to-centre, 19.5" centre-to-top. It was a great fit for me at just under 6 foot, though I would say it would suit riders from 5' 9" to 6' 1", depending on how you like your bike set up.
The frame has disc brake mounts and can take V-brakes although the brake bosses currently installed are not in the best condition from when I had to remove them with mole grips a while back. You can buy replacements cheaply enough if required (the size is M10).
The frame is in good functional order with no dents or dings that I'm aware of - but feel free to inspect thoroughly for yourself. The black paintwork does have quite a few marks and chips in places, particularly around the stays. I always considered getting it powdercoated but I only ever used it as a road/commuter bike (sub-8kg!) so I couldn't justify it really.
It takes 26.8 seatpost and 31.8 seat clamp, 68mm shell bottom bracket, Top-pull 31.8 front mech. Apart from headset and a QR seatclamp no other parts are included.
The price is now reduced to £75, collection only from near Winchester, Hampshire.
