ok, they're cheap for reason unfortunately but theyre not beyond repair - could make for good bike art or something otherwise. ideally if you wanted to have a cheap pub bike they could be ideal with a bit of effort
the CX one is the worst, it has hairline cracks in the seat tube and top tube. these could be tig welded and i recon that will sort it out - this is something i may do if they dont sell still since i can tig weld and it wouldnt be a problem (if i had a tig welder that is). it also has a campag bottom bracket so you could take that out and still be worth having. £35
the road one needs the seat stays to be put back on the frame, this is just a matter of 2 allen key screws. it needs a brake bridge which i guess you could get away with if riding fixed but should still have something there to keep the strength. the original part is bolted in so you could easily fabricate a part to replace this. it has a hairline crack in the top head tube lug. apparently common and rideable but this would be up to you if you felt safe doing that. i would ride it still. other than that its pretty good. comes with a shimano bottom bracket, looks like a good quality one too. £55
these will need to be collected in Brighton, i can meet people at the station. potentially could send but would rather not just yet. happy to do £80 on the pair.
It has been resprayed in places by the looks of things but has carbon forks and a carbon seat post. seat post stuck but complete. otherwise good and usable. £40
again collect in Brighton
