Deus calls this bike their “signature SR build“, and it’s a very pretty example of what a street tracker can look like. It’s not every day that a Deus build goes up for sale in the second hand market, so it’s always nice to see what the asking prices (and selling prices) are.
Highlights of the build include the bullet fairing, underslung exhaust, Nitroheads seat and tank, and AVON tires. It has less than 200 miles because it has spent most of its life in museums and private collections – the seller has put just 100 miles on it in the last 18 months so he’s offering it to someone else who can enjoy it. In August 2016 it got a service and it is registered in England until September of next year.
I suspect this bike may have been a former ride of James May, seeing as there can’t be many of these builds around and James imported one from New Zealand, then sold it off as part of his collection that went to Bonhams last year – where it went for $12,614. I’m surprised that the seller wouldn’t mention that, but maybe he or she is trying to avoid bringing attention to that listing considering the asking price is now $7,500 higher…find the Grievous Angel for sale in London, England for $20,179 here on the Bike Shed.
