First is an old track frame. I know little about its heritage. I think it was rescued when Paddington track closed 20 odd years ago. It has mudguard eyes and is drilled for a rear brake which makes it seem more like a path frame, and was designed for 27" wheels which leads me to think its from the 60's or so. The lugs are pretty nice but I have no leads as to who made it. Not sure what type of steel it is, could well be 531 - but it is genuinely light.
The paint job is by no means original and has scratches and chips, partly from my 4 years of around town use, and partly because the spray job isn't isn't the toughest wearing. There are also a few stickers and gunk from old stickers. Some white spirit would sort that out.
The forks are 700c and drilled for a brake, and obviously not originally matched to the frame. They have a 1" steerer to fit the frame, steerer and dropouts are aluminium and legs are carbon.
Frame comes with a miche 1" headset and a shimano square taper BB.
It has a 58cm seat tube C-T, and 57cm top tube C-C.
£120?

Second is a Genesis Io single speed mountain bike frame. I bought of a forumer had a bit of fun on it but realised the frame was a bit small so bought a larger version off ebay. The paint has a few chips, the ones at the front end are covered by apple stickers!
This is the older model of the frame, which is identical to the newer one but with bolts for adding on v brakes (as well as the standard disc brakes) so might be of interest to polo people.
It comes with Cane Creak headset and DMR seat clamp.
17.5" frame (geo here http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/mountain/ioid/io-id-alfine-8/geometry) Reynolds 520 tubing.
£80?
Both based in SE24
