Just wondering if there is any interest. Beautiful and beloved bike to me but I've been humming and aarring about donating a bike to one of the hospices but now that Ukraine is going on, Afghanistan and Yemen are still starving and Putin is still using (AFAIK) illegal weapons in Syria and probably Ukraine I'm gonna see if there is any interest in this.

So... selling to fund the aid effort in Ukraine, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan. All proceeds will be going via One Nation (a charity I trust wholeheartedly so use them often) and I might keep a few quid for myself but it would be negligible.

Green steel crown jewel which I believe is one of the higher grades of Reynolds steel. Some surface rust but nowt that bothered me and I touched up here and there with some green paint or lacquer. Carbon stays and carbon fork. Both Reynolds (but I believe they are 2 different companies... though not sure).

Dura Ace groupset though the cassette is probably Ultegra.

Wheels are a bit mismatched as I never got round to build the front HED Belgium + so probably come without wheels but we can always discuss. I have a front DA 7900 wheel on there now and a matched rear hub that you could source and have built yourself.

Carbon bars (specialiszed Sworks for the comfort factor).

More details upon request... Am thinking offers in the region of about £1700 but more would be better and less would also be negotiable as it gets some few quid of aid out there (in the various regions) and allows me to save up for the wheels on my other bike.

Hopefully I shall get some interest fast and I can grab some pics and negotiate etc...
