Bradley Wiggins Carbon Fork Lightweight Drop Handlebar Road Bike 700c 48.

The 48cm frame 700c is designed for taller riders, 165 170cm (5 5 5 7), All bikes in the Bradley Wiggins bike range are named after stages in the 2012 Tour de France Pau, Macon, Chartres and Rouen. Rouen is the name given to all the road bikes in the range. The Wiggins Rouen road bikes are a sleek and modern design, with most having distinctive reverse curve front forks. Another nice touch is that the seat stays (the tubes that rise from the rear axle to the seat tube) are positioned lower than usual on the seat tube, giving a compact rear triangle. This is a design feature intended to give additional comfort to the rider, by reducing the shock from the bumps of the road, something not usually seen on bikes. Each bike size has a different colour scheme, all incorporating the red, white and blue from Team Wiggins, and the iconic mod target, which is found on the seat tube, saddle (a specifically designed soft foam junior road saddle) and helmet. There is only one colour combination and means each bike is truly unisex (useful if youre passing the bike down to different genders). A nice aesthetic is that the designers have concealed the rear brake cable within the top tube giving a streamlined look, plus making the bike easier to carry. All Wiggins Rouen road bikes come with Kenda road tyres running on lightweight alloy rims, quick release front and rear wheels,flat pedals with removable toe clips and water bottle bosses. All handlebar tape is white. Its at the largest wheel size, that Wiggins expertise in road cycling and desire to appeal to the growing number of youth road cyclists really comes into its own. Sir Bradley has opted to create two 700c models. The first comes with the reverse curve aluminium forks as seen previously, whilst the top of the range model sports full carbon forks. Both 700c models are available to purchase in43cm or 48cm frame sizes. The43cm frame is sized for riders of height 145cm 150cm (4 8 4 11) and aged approximately 11 years and over. The 48cm frame 700c is designed for taller riders, 165 170cm (5 5 5 7), and will be a last junior bike before progressing onto adult road bikes. It comes kitted out with a full carbon fork, shaving precious grammes off the weight and adding a bit of comfort to the characteristics of the bike. Shimano Sora kit for front and rear derailleurs and STI levers that handle all braking and gear change duties. 18 speeds. Lasco branded chainset.

This was bought as a Christmas present for our eldest son with a view to it being used by his dad too as it was also a small adult size.

He never used it. It has been stored ever since.

It cost £450 and so this is an ideal one at a great price.

Collection only. I can deliver within 5 miles of Carmarthen.
