Raleigh Cadent i8 frame eccentric bb belt drive single speed disc brake

Description: This is a super interesting frame I bought several years ago as a commuter/city bike project. It's an aluminum frame with an eccentric bottom bracket that can be used with internally geared hubs or set up as a single speed. It can also be used with a belt drive with a removable block in the right seat stay to pull the belt through. If that weren't enough, you had the option to purchase a different hanger so you could hang a rear derailleur on and make a 1x, or use that crazy SRAM hub that you could put a cassette on the hub and it still had also 3 or 7 or 8 speed internal hub shift as well. It also uses disc brakes with an IS disc mount on frame and fork. Oh, the fork is crabon fibre bonded to an alloy steerer. It also has mount tabs for a chainguard, I have no idea which one would work, but they're there. 135mm axle spacing (worked with Shimano Alfine 8 speed hub for reference.) Can be used flat or drop bar, I used drop bars with an integrated brake/shifter from microshift (also for sale on ebay now (unless it already sold, check my listings). So this frame can be used for quite the range of riding, from gravel to touring, to commuting....really anything. Does NOT include a headset. Uses an FSA style integrated headset. Does come WITH seatpost collar. Uses a 27.2 size seatpost (not included). Sizing: This would be the XL size if you are looking up the geometry online. As I have measured it, it’s has a 58 center to top Seat-tube or 54 center to center. The top tube is 61 following the tube or 59 as a virtual top tube. I normally ride a 58 top tube and 120 stem and I dropped to a 110 stem on this and it fit just fine. I bought the frame new, I'm the only owner of it. There’s nothing wrong with it, I just have new-bike-itis. It's got some scuffs and paint rub from being used and locked up, but nothing major that screams out to me. I tried to take pics of every tube to show this usage. Shipping is crazy these days and costs way more than you'd think it would. If I end up estimating the shipping way over, I'll refund the difference, if I end up underestimating, I'll eat the difference, if it's just a few bucks, thanks for the Icee. If you'd like it shipped faster or a different method we can arrange that and whatever cost difference is paid by you.
