PROFESSIONAL QUALITY Superlight + Crankset- 51cm

Description

" Unbranded"  51cm( top tube 510mm) BB30 Superlight frame,tork,seatpost. Crankset is the Superlight Cannondale SI-SL2 34/50 compact (505g as pictured) like new with very little use.Size is small to small/ medium.This frame was not made in China- but made in Taiwan by a factory that produces the best roadbike frames in the world. .
This frame and fork originally started out as a marketing experiment aimed at showing off and displaying the engineering superiority of Taiwan manufacturers and engineers -- so it was a direct shot at China's bicycle market.The frame and fork was not mass produced.Only a very small limited quantity of these were ever produced.These were supposed to be for the bike shops located in Taiwan- not globally.
The idea behind this project was to build and manufacture a frame and fork as good or better than anything in this superbike category- but at a lower cost.If you lived in Taiwan and bought this from a bike shop you could have it painted any color you wanted and name the frame anything you wanted - like your teams name or the name of the shop where you bought it.Basically- you could totally customize the frame and forkto your liking.
I recently sanded the frame, fork, and seatpost because I was planning on keeping it.I was going to begin building up my dream bike but I realized I can't afford to.This was to be the ultimate STRAVA PR/ KOM bike I've always wanted.Climbing has always been a problem so this bike was going to finally fix that issue.I was going to just spray primer on the frame and then maybe clear coat but that's all to keep the weight to a minimum.
The frame and fork/ seatpost is made from real Japanese Toray CF 800 and 1000 series CF.It was made with UD construction - the strongest method of CF layout possible.Currently there is no paint or primer on the frame.The weights are as follows:
Frame 51cm with front and realer derailler hangers attached + clips and bolts ---- 759g.The frame by itself is about 720g.The fork weight ( uncut) is an unbelievable  301g.The seatpost ( uncut) is 141g.The frame width at the BB measures just under 80mm,
Costs to produce a frame made in Taiwan by a professional frame manufacturing company are much higher compared to Chinese frames because you are paying for real Japanese Toray fiber and for labor cost made by highly skilled trained Taiwan employees.So higher labor costs and higher material costs translate into higher overall cost out the door.It's true that you get what you pay for.
