For Sale is my lovely Track bike.
I'm selling due to having not ridden it for years after my knees got a bit dicky and its been hanging in my parent's garage ever since, unridden and unloved.
Specs:
FRAME: 'Lang' branded track frame.
Seat Tube: c - c: 54cm
Top Tube: c-c: 54cm
Apparently it was originally built as a 6 day frame according to Hilary Stone who I bought it off a good while ago.
It is in pretty scrappy condition tbh. The years in my parents garage have meant that the Lang decals have crumbled and really need to to be taken off completely. (if anyone is interested, I have pics of the decals as they were when they were in good condition and there is a guy who makes specific decals to order - if you need I can root out who he is).
Also, one of the rear dropouts is bent. This was the case for the entire time i rode this and it was fine but did mean that I had to retension the wheel every few weeks. I think a frame builder could easily fix this but I can find out from Ryan at Oak Cycles if anyone is genuinely interested in the frame.
The paint job is also firmly in the 'chipped to fuck' category.
Underneath all this is still a fun, light and responsive frame that rides incredibly. The '6 Day geometry means that it is much more forgiving than a normal track frame and therefore great for riding on London's mean streets
Cranks: Campag Record Pista fluted crankset (170) with a Miche Advanced 48 tooth chainring. Not sure about the BB but it should work fine.
Stem: Cinelli 90mm
Bars: Cinelli Tempo
Headset: Campag Record
Seatpost: Shimano 600 aero
Saddle: Selle Italia Regal (fairly beat up but still presentable)
Wheelset:
Front: silver System EX/Ambrosio hub laced to black machined Mavic CXP33 (old conti Gatorskin included)
Rear: Black Goldtec hub laced to black machined Mavic CXP33 - 17tooth cog (old Specialized Armadillo included)
I am asking Dropped to £490 for the full bike, collected in either Golders Green NW11 or Stoke Newington N16.
Let me know if prices are off the mark or any further questions
