eBay

If you're looking at this auction you probably know what this bike is. Let me assure you, it is an utterly brilliant ride. It rides like a racer then folds up tiny, and weighs next to nothing.

I took this bike for a test drive and found it to be thrilling, then bought it as soon as I could. I have used it most days since and I still love it. The reason I'm selling is that I bought another one and I don't have room for two!

The bike has the following upgrades from the 'standard' Speed Pro TT:

Shimano 105 front crank and pedal arms

Shimano 105 rear derailleur

MKS lightweight quick-release pedals

I-Beam SDG edge-flex saddle

It was recently serviced, with the following new parts:

bottom bracket

chain

rear cassette

brake pads front and back

Here's the bad news:

• There are a few scratches and chips out of the paint. In general it's in good condition though, and all the joins work perfectly.

• The seat post is a bit stiff. Works properly though.

• The middle gear of the SRAM hub jumps about. I just don't use it much, and the bottom and top gears are perfect. I did get this adjusted at a bike shop, but it's a fiddly one and seems to require a lot of adjustment. I have ridden a few Speed Pro TTs now, and they've all been a bit iffy in the middle gear.

• The chain sometimes slips off the front sprocket. Again a question of adjustment. Sometimes I'll ride for a week and it won't happen, other times it will happen twice in one day. This is not a biggie either – I've been daily commuting for nearly a year and I love this bike – but I wanted to be very clear.

If you don't know about the Speed Pro TT, here's a good listing: http://www.world-wheels.co.uk/speedprott.htm I will post in the UK (nowhere else) but I'm happy for a collection, or I can meet in central london for delivery.

I just noticed that the auction has defaulted to state that I will accept returns on this item for 14 days. This is not the case: I will NOT accept returns on this item - it's a second-hand bike and is sold as described - a superb, fast running bike that folds up quickly. I won't take a return just because you don't like it.
