Technical specifications
Description
I'm selling my Temple Cycles Classic Lightweight, a distinctive British steel road bike that has been used regularly but is now being replaced with a different style of bike.
It's a lovely bike to ride and has been set up with some good-quality components, including:
Temple Cycles Classic Lightweight frame
Reynolds 520 steel frame
DT Swiss P 1800 Spline 23 wheelset installed in January 2026
Continental Grand Prix 4 Season 28c tyres
Flat/road-oriented setup
Shimano drivetrain and brakes
Classic understated British styling
The bike has been serviced in July 2026 with a new chain and new cassette. (Receipt attached in photos)
The DT Swiss P 1800 wheels are a particularly good upgrade over the basic wheels normally found on bikes in this category, and the Continental GP 4 Season tyres are excellent for everyday riding and commuting, with good puncture protection.
The bike has been used as a commuter/utility bike, so it has some normal signs of use rather than being in showroom condition. Please see the photographs for the exact cosmetic condition.
The bike rides well and is ready to use.
I'm selling because I'm moving to a more modern flat-bar bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
This would make a great everyday road bike, commuter or fast practical steel bike for someone looking for something a little different from the usual mass-market offerings.
Please ask if you have any questions or would like any additional photographs.
