You are looking at a Kuota Kharma carbon fiber road bike. It is a Large (55cm) with a 55cm toptube. The frame is made from Kuota 12k carbon fiber with an integrated head tube and wishbone stays. The fork is a Kuota Pure Carbon monocoque model with carbon fiber steerer. The headset is an FSA Carbon with a conical spacer and stainless-steel sealed bearing bearings. This frame is super light and super smooth. It has very precise steering and a stiff drive train with a smoothness provided by the full carbon construction. The cockpit consists of an aluminum FSA Wing bar, an ITM Luxe OS stem, a made in Italy Selle Italia Pro Link Genuine Gel saddle, and a 2-bolt Kuota carbon fiber seatpost. The bars are wrapped in new Soma Thick & Zesty tape. The drivetrain consists of Campagnolo Centaur 10 speed shifters and rear derailleur, a Centaur CT front derailleur, a Centaur CT carbon crankset and threaded bottom bracket, a Centaur cassette (12-25 tooth), and a new FSA Team Issue chain. The wheels are Campagnolo Vento G3s. They spin like new and are round and true. Specialized Roubaix Pro tires are installed. The brakes are Campagnolo calipers. The pedals are Look Keo clipless units. This frame is fast and light. It is also very comfortable due to the vibration reducing design. Great for anything from Sunday at the races to 5-hour epic rides. This bike has about 1500 miles on it and is in excellent condition. The drivetrain is smooth and runs like new. It has been very well cared for and always kept in awesome condition. The frame almost looks like new and only has a few small scuffs or scratches. This bike has been in storage for the last decade or so and has fallen over a few times. The has left scuffs/scratches/tears on the brake lever blades and saddle edges. It was just at the shop for a complete service and cleaning. The new handlebar tape, chain, and one tube were installed at this time. All of the bikes and framesets that I sell are packaged and shipped by my local bike shop. This process usually takes between 3 and 5 business days depending on the season and how busy they are. The bicycle that you purchase will need to be reassembled once you receive it. This procedure may include part or all of the following: reinstalling the pedals (if included), saddle, seatpost, stem, handlebar, rear derailleur, fork, headset, brake calipers (rim or disc), disc brake rotors, cables, and housing. The tires may need to be reinstalled, inflated, and tubeless tires will possibly need fresh sealant to be added. Suspension forks and rear shocks could also be deflated when you receive your purchase. This process is 100% the buyer’s responsibility.
