Hi everyone -
Up for sale is my custom Nobilette road bike, in candy apple red, with Columbus SLX tubing.
TT is 56cm
I am 5-10, PBH of 85cm, and this bike fits just right. I'd be happy to give any other measurements if you'd like.

All components included other than: saddle, pedals, pump, bottle holders.
Ultegra brifters, triple, with 10sp in the rear.
Mavic Kysrium SL wheelset
Campy headset

This bike is lightweight, fast, fun; all good things. 
Its been up and down the A1A in Florida many times, and over a number of notches in Maine. 
Bike is super clean. As you can probably tell, its a well taken-care-of and well-loved bike, but I have been putting many more miles on my Mark-built Legolas. 

Asking $1800 plus boxing at the LBS and actual cost of shipping (S&H probably $150 max). 

Feel free to message me with any questions. 
All proceeds going to more bike stuff! 


Thanks!
-Chris

+ 1 on the seat tube (center-to-center) and the fattest tire the frame will fit. My idea frame size is 60 st X 56 tt c-c.

Also, please post photos: the adage, a picture is worth a thousand words applies to bike sales as much as to anything else.

That is a pretty bike. Please do post seat tube length. I expect it's too small, but I'm in the market for a road bike with multiple gears (and freewheel!).

My eyes tell me that's about a 57cc 58 ct. My eyes tell me those are short reach brakes, and 28c is in my experience the largest tire that short reach brakes will clear. My eyes tell me that there are 25c tires currently on the bike.

All of those things are consistent with typical geometry during the time of SLX tubing.

Of course, my eyes might very well be wrong.

Sorry to say the bike is sold. It went very quickly.
