This bike belongs to Richard England who rides to the Priority Health Cycling team in the USA. He's a local. This bike is 6months old and has only been crashed once. Not too badly just a mark on the levers and hoods, and smashed the rear derailleur, which has been replaced with a Chorus one.

The bike is in good working order, it has been well used but is still in good condition. It's obviously been disassembled and assembled a fair bit with all the travelling that he does, so it has a few marks, especially the handlebars where he's obviously removed then everytime the bike has been packed up.

This is a rare opportunity to buy a Professional Cyclists Bike that is still in good condition and has plenty of life left in it.

The Easton Orion II wheels have done very little work as he usually races on the Easton Carbon wheels.

P&H Is as follows:-

Metro Vic $30

Country Vic, Metro NSW-SA-QLD-ACT $40

Everywhere else $50

Good Luck

Happy Bidding

That ad looks the same as the one on Ebay that I read yesterday. Why you list it on the blog if we can just read it on ebay?
