Hampsten Crema 55cm

[cycling.james]

Updated price and updated photos. I figure it's getting warmer and we're all thinking ahead to more riding.

I love this frame, but I am up to my ears in bikes right now and live in a 1-bedroom apartment. The frame is in great condition aside from some rub on the headtube and a couple scratches here and there. Lower than this and I'm going to keep it, but it seems like a shame for it to be used mostly as a commuter.

Would like $1250 for:
- frame/fork
- Chris King headset
- Chris King bottom bracket
- Thomson seat collar
- Shimano BR650 standard reach caliper brakes
- nitto seatpost
- thomson x2 110cm stem OR nitto UI-5GX 110cm stem.

I'll split shipping costs. Payment by paypal is great if you cover the fees. I'm also looking for a new or like new Campy 11-speed Record or Chorus groupset.

Wow, love the shade of red used for this frame!

[vqdriver]

saddle height in the built pics? what's the tire clearance?
are those sheldon nuts?

[phcollard]

This one has been at the top of my head since we talked about it a few months ago. That's a dream bike, alas I still can't make it... Maybe in a month but oh well... It will sure be gone by then!

Fantastic frame.
Fantastic colour.
Fantastic seller.
Fantastic price.

Good luck with the sale James!

My saddle height is about 735 mm normally.

I've personally run 32mm tires (Grand Bois Cypres) and there was still clearance. I would guess you could fit 35mm, but I can't confirm that.

Those are sheldon nuts, indeed, for simple and easy fender mounting.

Sorry to hear it Philippe! You still have your lugged Crema at least?

I will also add that this was my second Hampsten, the first being my lugged Team Pro. That bike's not going anywhere. Can't go wrong with a Hampsten.

Thanks Philippe!

I have to say this is a dream frame for me, too. If it was a little smaller, I wouldn't hesitate.

I'm not much for red frames, but that thing just pops. I love it!

Wondering what other bikes do you have that you keep over this frame you love? Must have great stuff! I am jealous.

Are there any braze ons on the seat stays for mounting a rack? I see the eyelets on the drops, but looks like no stay braze ons?

Are the bosses on the DT the standard type that would accept conventional DT shifters?

Thx, Steve

Hey all, this is sold pending receipt of funds. Thanks everyone.

This is a great bike, and I am fortunate to have a Goodrich, a lugged Hampsten and (most recently) a Toei. Hence the sale.

Just to respond to the other lingering question, it doesn't have a braze-on for a rack, just fender eyelets. You could attach a tubus or similar rack to the brake bolt, though. Not sure about the downtube shifters. You can see a detail shot of the bosses here:
