Ryland update for 14 Oct

Status: 
Amber/Some Issues

Muppets and St Ives sniggle ok but quite wet and too much traffic before it dries could cut it up some what. I'm calling it an amber as would be best to steer clear unless your linking rides up.

Price: 
4,000.00

Hi all - 'actual' photos to come - but given it is a unusual item for Nobmob, I thought less of a rush...hence the stock photo.

I'm selling my Cannondale Super Six Evo roadie. Its a 58cm, but has a 57cm top tube, so will suit anyone from just below 6 foot up to 6'4" (my height)....

Its full Dura-Ace Di2 11spd, with internal battery. It also has the Cannondale Hollowgram SiSL2 Cranks - with two sets of chainrings (standard and compact).

FSA Carbon seatpin, stem and bars.
Mavic Kysrium SLR wheelset.

Never been crashed, shop maintained. Perfect condition - genuinely perfect.

Dimensions for NSW Auxiliary number plate

Hiya, I'm getting a frame made up to mount my Thule 591's on as a rear rack and just wondering if someone can let me know the size of the auxiliary plate for a bike rack so I can get mounts for the lights and plate fitted.

Cheers
