This is a custom built steel bike made with a mix of Reynolds 531/653 tubing by Sonic cycles of London.It dates from the late 1990’s and rides beautifully.I bought it from the original owner who at the time was in the Welsh cycling squad and had the frame custom built by Sonic cycles owner Helmut Berns.
Dimensions are – seat tube 55cms(top to centre BB) top tube- 53 cms down tube- 60 cms
It is a lovely road bike with many quality features such as braze on front mech hanger,cast rear brake bridge,cast fork crown with cut outs and an unusual bottom bracket with built in chain stay bridge.It has a 1ins threadless fork with ahead stem,9 speed Shimano 105 speed shifters, Shimano 105 brakes,105 hubs with stainless spokes on Mavic MA 3 rims, and Shimano front and rear 105 mechs. The 53/39 crank is Shimano 600 (Ultegra).It also has a Campagnolo headset a Selle Italia Turbo leather saddle and has had new bar tape fitted.
This is a hand built frame with quality components which unfortunately is the wrong size for my son so sadly needs to be sold.It has some minor age related marks to the frame and lacquer on the shifters (see photos) but overall is lovely clean condition and in great shape.It rides and handles really well and would be a fantastic starter bike for someone when compared to some of the mass market bikes out there for a similar price.Any trial is welcome and please email me if you have any questions or would like any further photos
