For Sale: Reynolds 653 tt low pro, mavic

653 low pro tt single speed ,mavic , campagnolo
Went to my mate bike shop and met a chap who's dad built this bike some years ago, I said I would try to sell it for him for a discount on another bike he wont's shot of .

Here goes

Its a Reynolds 653 tt frame with internal cabling , lovey lug work and a hexagon bottom bracket shell first time I've see this! So unique in my experience. No rust or chips , paint work 99% perfect one tiny blemish by the seat post ...storage mark ! Likely t cut away . The decals are not original he found them some where and put them on because thay match the colour scheme , nothing stealth about this bike lol . Decals are on top of the clear coat so will come of if you wonted a clean finish . The chap who built this was a engineer who built a number lovely bikes in spare time and need more space and coin for projects.

Seems like a bargain at £230. Webbing and fastback are a really nice touch, BB sounds cool too! Frame and bits alone could go for something near that I'd reckon...

Do you know if the guy had his own jig/workshop or did he build for someone else every now and then? Only wondering because the idea of building the occasional frame in spare time sounds like a dream

Bargain! Also curious about the BB shell! Do you have more pictures?

Yes if send me you email ill forward

I haven't had the pleasure of meet this chap yet , I know that he builds satellites and that he made the chain ring and powder coated it with the stuff that used on satellites machined the chain tensioner so the chap has skills , laced the wheels too . Not shore if he made the frame I wouldn't put it passed him I'll find out

Agreed ! I would love to build a steel frame , mad a start on a bamboo one yet sadly not got the dam time to finish it , perhaps next year

Ah that makes way more sense - I was wondering if you meant he built up the bike or actually built the frame!
Guy sounds like a hero though. He made the chain ring?? That's insanely cool. Awesome background to an awesome bike.

Can't wait to see what other gems he has in his work shop
