Sold - 56cm Steel F+F with eyelets for mudguards // Full bike minus wheelset

I'm moving flat and downsizing a little, and so sadly my first fixed frame needs to find a new home.

I'm located in Stratford, and I've priced this to sell (or so I think). If you think I'm way off in terms of price then please let me know and I'm happy to adjust.

The frame was originally a Mongoose Maurice, both frame and fork are made of chromoly. The F+F were powder coated in 2013 and it was only ridden for 9 months after that, before spending the rest of its time laid up in my room. The little moustache vinyl was added by the previous owner and can just be removed by hand if you don't like it. I only stopped riding the frame because I bought a proper track frame and couldn't afford a 2nd wheelset at the time. The frame has eyelets for mudguards on the front and back, and it has good clearances, so you could run some wider tyres. I've always run 25c, but there is loads of room so you could easily get 28 or 32c on there. The frame is also drilled for 2x bottle cages and a rear brake if you'd prefer to run it singlespeed.

The frame is 56cm, which is a size Large for this model. I'm 5 foot 10 and it fitted me great, but I don't think it would fit someone much smaller than me (unless you have long legs).

I'm selling it essentially as a full bike without a wheelset. Grab yourself a wheelset off here for circa 50 quid and a set of mudguards, and you've got yourself an ideal beater for winter.

I've listed the components below. I'm selling it like this because I need the space and work is demanding at the minute. I'd get a lot more money breaking everything down and selling it bit by bit, but sadly I don't have the time at the minute. I'm asking for £90 collected, which I think is a great value bundle. If you had the time on your hands I'm sure you could break it down and sell the bits back on for a profit. If you really just want the F+F then I'll reduce the asking price by 20.

Any questions, feel free to ask in the thread or send me a PM.

Thanks,

Tom

• Mongoose Maurice 2012 F+F, 56cm
  
• Tange headset
  
• Tektro front brake caliper with virtually brand new brake pads, and cable inner/outer
  
• Orbea wing profile compact OS drops wrapped in black Deda bartape ridden for less than 100 miles (I think I have a flat bar from a mtb that I could switch this for if you'd prefer)
  
• Tektro brake levers
  
• Bontrager SSR 105mm OS stem (I also have a 90mm stem I could switch this for if you'd prefer that)
  2x alloy bottle cages
  
• Brand new alloy seatpost and clamp (I rounded the thread on the previous clamp and the previous seatpost was tatty)
  
• Charge spoon saddle in dark grey
  
• Pair of MKS chain tugs (the dropouts on this frame aren't proper track dropouts à la PreCursa etc., and so I used to run it fixed with chain tugs on both sides just to be sure I wouldn't have any movement in the wheel if I decelerated in a hurry. You won't need these if you're going to run it SS, but they are included anyway)
  
• Token 103mm carbon BB
  
• Lasco track crankset with 1/8 46T chainring, 170mm all threads in great condition
