Reluctantly selling my Vitus Escarpe because I simply don't get enough use out of it. I can't justify a bike this good sitting around doing nothing. It has only done 335 miles, although there are a few superficial scratches to the shifters and fork from it getting knocked in the garge. There is also some minor scuffing from my wonky foot on the rear drive side chainstay. These are shown in the photos.
The full spec sheet is below. You will also find glowing reviews of this version online. Pedals aren't included in the sale. .
I still have the reciept if anyone would like to see it.
This bike is collection only. I will not post it and I will not pack it even if someone else arranges a courier.
