My Carrera Vanquish frame. 48cm seat tube and 54cm top tube, size small.
As many of you will know I crashed on it when riding over a drawing pin (gits)
I’ve had it checked over the bike shop and the frame is fine but the internal of the carbon steerer has started to delaminate which means a hammer is required to get the fork out and the headset removed off steerer.
The damage is just below the stem so if you cut the steerer you could slam it and ride it again but I’d personally turn get shot and replace with a new one. If you buy direct from Halfords they are £135 but a flat mount QR front wheel would work provided it was a tapered steerer.
Happy to leave sks mudguards and bottle cages on along with the 27.2mm seatpost and Cannondale saddle, 50:34 170mm crankset but want the pump. Say £50 posted?
If anyone would like a rolling chassis I also have the OEM wheelset which I swapped out for a pair of superstar components but will need cassette and disc rotors. They are boxed up and ready to post. £50 posted.
I do have this cheap fork coming for £25 that I could include, just can’t be bothered with the hassle of getting a crown reducer and then rebuilding- 3 kids means I don’t have time!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/14475423...x_DQmGJTia&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
If anyone would like the groupset, a stem, fork, wheels and tyres to build up I’d be open to putting together a deal.
