• For sale is a XB3 'rekord' track frame and forks, with headset.
    I'll make this advert as honest as possible with detailed images and descriptions. Please read both 'the good' & 'the bad' before dibs.

    Size:
    Top tube: 56cm (centre to centre)
    Seat tube: 56.5cm (centre to centre) 58cm (centre to top)
    Downtube: 61cm (centre to centre)
    Headtube: 17cm (top to bottom)
    Wheelbase: 100-103cm (centre front drop out to rear drop out)
    Seat post size: 25mm

    Dropouts:
    Front: 9.7cm (ran 10cm hub with no issues)
    Rear: 11cm (ran 12cm hub with no issues)


    THE GOOD: A solid track frame, no cracks, dings or noticable dents (as you can see in images) Paint has been stripped away as I planned to respray the frame as original paint was awful and had flaked away. Fork has been drilled for a brake, looks fine at the front, but drill hole at the back of the fork is rather ugly (planned to fill the holes if i resprayed)
    Comes with original headset, as forks have strange Russian threading.



    THE BAD: right hand side of bottom bracket is well and truly stuck, I've tried with what little tools I have to remove it, but I'm convinced the bike shop I took it to originally, rather than sort the threading, just forced one on till it 'fit' (these frames tend to be strangely threaded) I couldn't get an Italian or British threaded bb's to fit. But they got a British threaded bb to 'fit'. The left side unscrewed fine.
    Ive attempted to stress and break the remaining bb rather than damage the threading any further, but had no luck. I think if you have access to a solid vice and more patience than me it can easily be solved. But I have very few tools and a coffee table/'work bench'.

    I have more images if required. And please ask any questions.
    No idea what to ask for price, so I'll start at £95 (posted UK only)
    Happy to take advice on price.
