Condition / Description:
This bike is an absolute flyer. The frameset is in great condition, nothing I could point out to detract from it, it's always had tape to stop cable rubs and the cable routing is all internal right the way to each derailleur. The stealth black / grey finish looks lovely. The frame weighs 970g according to Rose, it’s not stiff and I’ve done a 140-mile charity ride around North Wales to testify to its all day comfort. The details and finish are right up there with the best bikes I’ve seen.
The groupset is full Shimano 105 5800 11 speed that’s done 1500 miles at most. All great condition, one very minor mark to the silver bit on the right shifter but certainly no damage or nastiness to report. It doesn’t even have heel rub on the Cranks as the Chain, Cassette and Chainset were new this year with less than 300 miles on them now. The brake pads have plenty of meat left in them and work well. The shifter outers are Shimano SP41 with Shimano inners. If I’m honest this bike deserves a more bling groupset but I like 105 5800 and never felt the need to change it.
The wheels are Rose’ own RS1400 (1400g weight exc. cassette, tyres, tubes) and are fantastic, spin well, climb well, semi aero and make a nice noise on the freewheel. Again, great condition, roll true and spin forever. Each wheel has one white spoke by design. The GP4000S II 25mm tyres are 500 miles’ old
The finishing kit is all new and in excellent condition. The Saddle came from my old bike so it’s slightly worn from leaning against a wall but it’s so so comfy! Check out the reviews and you’ll see.
