ROSE Pro SL 52cm Shimano Tiagra 10-Speed Road Bike – Near-New Condition
A superb opportunity to own a ROSE Pro SL road bike in exceptionally clean condition.
This is a classic, lightweight aluminium road bike built around the ROSE Pro SL 7005/T6 aluminium frame, finished in an understated black/anthracite colour scheme. The bike has been carefully rebuilt and has not been ridden since the rebuild. It presents extremely well and would make an excellent road bike for someone looking for a quality, straightforward and dependable machine without the price of a modern carbon bike.
There are a couple of small cosmetic marks from previous storage/standing, including a small ding on the top tube, but overall the bike is in excellent condition and looks remarkably fresh for its age.

The ROSE Pro SL
The Pro SL was designed as a lightweight, performance-oriented aluminium road bike, and the 7005/T6 aluminium construction provides a combination of stiffness, durability and responsive handling.
The frame has the clean, purposeful appearance associated with the Pro SL range, while the carbon fork helps reduce weight and takes some of the harshness out of the ride compared with a full aluminium fork.
The bike is particularly well suited to general road riding, sportive riding, commuting or as a very capable first road bike.
Quality components
The specification includes some particularly worthwhile components.
The Shimano Tiagra 10-speed drivetrain is well known for its reliability and straightforward servicing, while the Shimano Ultegra brake calipers are a step above the standard brakes normally found on many bikes of this type and provide strong, controlled braking.
The compact 50/34 Shimano chainset is also a practical choice for riding in hilly areas, giving a useful range of gearing without making the bike unnecessarily complicated.
The bike is fitted with Schwalbe Ultremo tyres, Forza Cirrus handlebars and an ITM Alutech stem, along with Shimano pedals.
Condition
The bike has been rebuilt and has never been ridden since the rebuild.
It is in exceptionally clean overall condition and presents extremely well. There are a couple of minor cosmetic marks from storage/standing, including a small mark/ding to the top tube, which has been photographed.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
The carbon fork is not the original ROSE factory fork. It is a replacement carbon fork which has been resprayed to complement the original frame colour. This is reflected in the description and price.
A great opportunity
If you're looking for a classic aluminium road bike with a quality frame and a dependable Shimano drivetrain, this ROSE Pro SL is well worth considering.
It has the feel and appearance of a much more expensive bike than many entry-level aluminium road bikes, while the 10-speed Shimano Tiagra equipment makes it relatively simple and economical to maintain.
Frame size: 52cm
