For sale is a handbuilt Steve Rex road bike frameset. The frame is a beautiful fillet brazed steel masterpiece combined with ultralight carbon tubing to save weight. The bike is a dream to ride - much lighter than an all-steel frame yet retains the classic smooth ride of steel.
Steve Rex’s beautiful fillet brazing unfortunately was not matched by the clear coat his painter applied over the carbon tubes. As you can see in the photos, the clear coat has substantial peeling on the seat tube and there is some clear coat bubbling in various other carbon locations. The clear coat issue is purely cosmetic and the frame is structurally 100% solid.
Clear coat issues aside, the paint on the bike is in great shape save minor scratches and a few spots of rust at the edges of some lugs where steel meets carbon.
The frame includes a color-matched Reynold Ouzo fork, a smooth Chris King headset and a threadless ITM stem. Wheels are not included but pictured to show 28mm tires fit fine!
