• Hi

    Having a clear out of old projects to make way for the new.

    Preferably collected from Bermondsey but may be able to meet in the London area.

    No splits for the time being.

    FRAME GONE - Forks, brake and wheel combo still available - £20

    Comes with everything pictured.

    As you can see a very skilled hammer has been put to work improvising this brake mount. It's worked on the 3 occasions I used the bike but I can't say if it will continue to do so. I'd recommend a brake booster if you wanted to stick with it.

    NEXT
    Green Raleigh 69er 54cm ST C-C, 55.5cm TT C-C - £70

    Comes with everything in the picture.

    I think the frame is 531, it was a road frame but someone had track ends brazed on. A few small scrapes and dents here and there but a decent frame, I think the forks are a bit bent but I imagine the buyer with scrap those anyway. It's powder coated but I decided to sprinkle glitter over and rattle canned a gloss over the top for an NJS-esque sparkle. The gloss is pealing and you could probably get it all off with relative ease.

    The frame does have two slightly more fundamental problems. I had to shim the headset out with a bit of coke can to get it tight, it's worked fine since but something to be aware of. Also the BB threads are a little bit worn and began to slip when I tried to fit a Hollowtech ii BB but worked fine with a normal square taper due to the extra threads.

    And then.
    Unbranded cheapo MTB frame £30
    IMAG0011

    Comes with everything in picture.

    Used for polo and occasionally getting muddy in the forest. Again I think the forks might be a bit bent. Come with 40 spok back wheel and 16t Shimano freewheel. The wheel's in good shape but the hub is a bit too small for the rear end and subsequently squeezes the drop outs a bit. Hub also has a tendency to come loose over time.

    Lastly, some forks

    Unbranded 1" steel track fork 167mm steerer with 55mm threaded - £15

    Give me a shout with any questions.

    Thanks,

  • @monkdagola dem P2 forks

  • interested in the white forks but need to check head tube length of my frame again tomorrow...

    would you be able to post?

  • Yeah I don't see why not. Let me know.

  • Really interested in the Dolan, I'm located in east London as well so would be able to come and meet you this week?

  • Yeah sure I'm free on Monday, Thursday and Friday if you want to come and have a look?

  • Is Kona p2 disk?

  • @photoben #2 Green Raleigh 69er 54cm...

  • No, V brake only I'm afraid

  • Is that... Is that a section of another fork strapped onto the dolan forks to fit cantis!? I salute you sir. You are a braver man than I.

  • Exactly that. Why would I want to go and spend £20 on a clamp on V brake mount when I can make a much more dangerous and less practical solution all by myself?

    To be fair though I was quite happy with the result, both aesthetically and mechanically.

  • Dolan frame now gone but front end still available.

  • im interested in the raleigh frame

  • dibs steel frame.

    @HarveyBrown for david?

  • yep, would be an option

  • Ive got a P2 disc if wanted?
