I only built this bike recently and have only used it for a handful of training and races at the velodrome and Red Hook. It's a really great frame, as stiff as the Dolan Forza I used to have and with loads of room for adjustment.
It's unbranded and the same as Brooks Cycles sell under their 7vrn brand (http://www.brookscycles.co.uk/velodrome-shop/7vrn-carbon-track-frame-2.html) as well as a good few others, and I've seen them raced at international level.
The fork is full carbon and really solid, the seatpost is a good length and doesn't slip, I've not got it set to quite at the max limit. Everything has been build with torque wrenches and carbon assembly paste. As you can see there's loads of steerer left to work with too. There's a few little marks in the lacquer here and there but nothing to write home about.
I have been trying to work out a way of justifying keeping this bike but I just can't while I've got another project on the horizon.
It has a 56cm ctc top tube, 51cm seat tube and 13cm head tube. It may sound short, but I've been riding it comfortably and I'm 6' tall, that said it would easily work great for people shorter than me.

I'm looking for £300 picked up in London, can meet half way if you're in SE12 or something. This includes the frame, forks, seatpost and headset.
