Despite only building this around 9 weeks ago it’s already time to shift it on – it needs to go because I’m moving to Australia and only plan to take my Baum with me.

Here’s the spec…

Setup as pictured (and listed) it’s a top notch winter bike, but believe me if you strip off the mudguards and change the wheels you have a race bike on your hands despite its ‘Gran Fondo’ title.

Despite the massive spacer stack I’ve had to run to make it work for me, I love this bike – I have [url=http://brainfartsofabiketart.com/2011/12/12/bike-fitting-why-i-doubt-ill-ever-run-standard-geometry-again/][u]quite a quirky body shape[/u][/url] (massive legs for my height) which is why I have to run the spacer stack. Any more normally-proportioned person around 5’9″-6′ would probably be fine on this with much less spacers.

Here’s [url=/content/review/45096-kinesis-racelite-gf-ti-frameset][u]the road.cc review[/u][/url], and here’s [url=http://brainfartsofabiketart.com/2011/11/01/first-few-rides-report-kinesis-gf_ti/][u]my own review[/u][/url]. The detail on [u][url=http://www.kinesisbikes.co.uk/products/racelight/gf_ti]the Kinesis site is here[/url][/u] too.

Price? £2000. I’m not keen to split so please don’t ask until I offer it. I might consider offers, but nothing cheeky. The frame is only 9 weeks old and retails at £1400 so it ain’t a bad price for a complete bike with this spec!

Here’s a pic of how it’s currently setup:

I’ll try and get some more shots done soon.
