Thinning out my bike collection.
Dave Yates Super Randonneur (535 C-T).
Frame and forks were made to measure for me in 2006 by respected frame builder Dave Yates, with original receipts. I’m 5’10” and 31” inside leg.
A comfortable frame with longer head tube, sloping top tube for good stand over clearance, no toe overlap.
Seat tube (BB centre to top): 535mm
Effective (horizontal) top tube: 555mm
Head tube: 170
853 downtube, 631 top tube and seat tube, 725 stays, 531 forks. Fillet brazed. Mudguard mounts. Rear rack mounts. Pump peg on rear seat stay.
The original paint (outsourced by Dave because his paint facility was not up and running) faded to a light pink. I had the frame resprayed by Steve Goff cycles about 10 years ago in Metallic silver, excellent work. The frame was sprayed internally with waxed based metal protector.
Hand built wheels, 105 (5501) hubs on DRC 32h rims. Wiggle Lifeline Prime Race 700x28 tyres recently fitted. Pair of Continental with 700x25 Ultrasports also included. I have run 700x30’s with plenty of clearance.
27 speed. Ultegra STI’s showing their age cosmetically but still perform perfectly. 105 Triple front derailleur. Tiagra crankset with 48(Stronglight Comp) 38(TA Alize) 30(Shimano) rings. Shimano XT 11-32 cassette. LX rear derailleur to give 11-34 capacity if needed.
Shimano BR-R451 brake calipers fitted last year. Original silver BR-A550 SLR-S brake calipers are available if you prefer.
SKS mudguards.
The bike has been carefully looked after and well maintained, never dropped or crashed.
Garmin mount, pedals and saddle pack are not included with sale.
Now sold thanks.
