SOLD: GT National Team track 400€ + Wound Up 700c/700c

So most of you might have seen this here before with a 24" wheel. I bought the bike with info that it was a 24" pursuit version. Built it up and shit... the angles were awkward and the bb-height was way too low to be driven - the cranks wouldn't spin if you tilted the bike even a bit.

I tried it with couple 700c forks and the angles are now sensible with a proper bb-height. The measurements are ST c-c 57,eTT 56,5 c-c and HT ca. 11,4cm. BB height 29,3cm and angles are AROUND ST 75-degrees and HT 74-degrees. Fork's steerer tube length 16cm. Please be aware that the angles have been measured by hand and therefore they aren't accurate!

The frame has scratches around it and especially the rear triangle isn't in the best shape. You can find some additional pics in my Flickr. Most of the pics are with 24" fork but you can see the condition of the frame probably and if you want more pics pls. just ask.

With the 700c fork the frame is unfortunately just too long for me and I've to sell it. Sold for 370€ locally. Donation will be made if it sells here.

Looks great with the wound ups, if it works why not!

I don't know about the price of such things but glws

yeah..you will need to drop the price.

early bump with a decent price drop to 600€ for frame and fork or you can buy the frame only for 430€.

slack chain

29.3cm is a high bottom bracket, even for a track bike.

Jere, I was interested in this, it seems strange to me that through our PM,s regarding this bike when you wanted a rather high price, you failed to mention all the above. I'm pretty pissed off about that, the only reason I did not buy it apart from the price was the fact it looked liked it was not going to work as 24" front.

I would suggest in future you are more forthcoming with information at the start.

^At the time we discussed about this matter I still thought it was made for 24" fork. So yeah I didn't know about this when you were showing interest to the bike. Kinda impossible for me to tell about it:) I've ridden it twice with a 520c fork and on the first time I somewhat managed to drive it w/o pedals touching to the ground but on the second time I realised how bad it was after I drove a bit more and in more unflat environment.. The second time was maybe week ago and we discussed around one month back. But yeah sorry that I failed to tell you this info!

^^One gt pursuit owner said that his bb height is ca. 28cm from the ground and this is a bit higher with 700c wheels. I'm not 100% sure if the frame is made for 700c fork either as there's no way to confirm this matter. Could be made for 650c in the beginning.

apollo, zoom in - there's no cog;) It's a light weight build:D

This is a correct build.

that bike has 28cm bb height.

Wow.

Favourite track frame ever.

I saw this bike when i visited Jere last time, beautiful indeed, wish it was my size.

Why not include the original forks in the sale too so whoever buys it can decide what to do? The pictures with the other fork on your flickr look good but it does look awkward to ride.

With correct fork

Frame only for 400€+ shipping and fees. If you want to I can sell the 24" forks with it for some money..

How's this still here (if it is)? Usually these things sell crazy fast.

Reckon I'd trade my GTB for this anyday.

LWZ, what size is your GTB?

are you selling the 24" front wheel?

Yeah I'm when I get the front hub changed to the original Hed Sonic. I dunno what to ask for it so was thinking listing it in ebay but you can throw me an offer for it in PM.

56/55cm. This looks to long and to steep without the original fork though, which I would want to avoid faffing around. Shame you don't have it.

Out of interest, what was the BB height with the 24" forks?

The BB height was around 25.5cm which is quite low. Could be usable with 165mm cranks and clipless pedals but not ideal for tight corners and street riding. But I guess that a 24" forks ain't ideal to streets anyhow :)

If it doesn't sell now I'll give it another try with some 165mm cranks and clipless pedals and lets see where that takes me.

That's quite low compared to the blue GT up there.

I would keep it. Maybe you'll find correct 700c forks. Wouldn't be hard to find similar GT forks and do a DIY paintjob either.

Some of the forks on GTB's were stock steel GT forks. Mine have eyelets, a brake hole and are a boat anchor in weight. Maybe you could find some of those. Good luck either way.

If I'll keep it I'll probably throw some 700c keirin forks on it as the have significantly smaller a2c measurement in comparison to the Wound up. This time I won't be in a hurry to paint the forks though - leasson learned with the 24" fork :D

These had different fork then GTB or Pulse. The crown is verry different. You can google it and probably find a pic of the crown. In addition, I think that the GTB steel forks aren't that tight clearanse wise and would look very similar to the wound up.
