This was listed on eBay, it was posted on the forum in another thread when someone was asking about options for a small road bike for their wife (or girlfriend) - I think it was posted as a joke, since in the ad it did look like somebody might've been using a dumpster find for an art project! But I just couldn't help myself, it was the right size for my wife (48cm) and after a bit of research things seemed to fit the description. Being in Newcastle PA (45 mins from my mother's house) made delivery quite easy, not to mention fitting in with being a factory custom job, and I brought it back to Dublin when I visited recently.

After:




Only the seatpost, pedals, bars, frame & fork were unchanged. The rest is Ultegra 6700 and some other tasteful upgrades.

I can confidently say there's not another bike like this in Ireland!
