I bought the bicycle for £3040,97 in April 2010, and after two trips, I am now selling it for £2520 (price is negotiable). The B17 Brooks Saddle is not included, since it has already broken in and adjusted to my body. But I'm selling the bike with an extra Schwalbe Marathon XR tyre (new).
It is in excellent condition, no flats or punctures, has some scratches in the main frame, and the black coating in both rear and front racks is slightly scratched because of the panniers.The tip of the rear rack is slightly bent down after the flight from Madrid to Sydney (though it hasn't been a problem at all). I've taken it to the bike shop for a full revision and is now in perfect working condition. It's rock solid, durable and stable under heavy loads. I am selling it because I injured my legs a couple of months ago, and won't be able to ride for a long time now.
If you want to see pictures of the load the bike used to carry, please visit the website about my journeys:
http://www.matiashydetravels.comIf you want to see pictures in it's actual state, please email me and I will happily send them to you.
I am currently residing in Argentina, but I can still send it all over the world. If the final postage cost would be too expensive for you to pay, we can work something out that works best for our mutual interests.

Happy travels,
