So, I’m selling my Oak/Magic polo bike. I’ll never ride a better bike, but I’m not travelling to tournaments any more and it’s not getting the use it deserves.
It’s a medium frame, 26” wheel. Pictures show it set up for me (5’11”, 32” inside leg), it should be good for anyone a couple of inches either way. Anyone who’s interested is welcome to come to Sheffield for a test ride.
The great bits: The frame and fork. Fillet-brazed Reynolds 631 tubeset, custom-drawn for Ryan based on BMX tubing. Will take v-brakes front and rear (removable brake posses included), and disc brake front. The most orange bike you could ever hope to own.
The good bits: Thomson finishing kit (seatpost, seat clam, stem), SLX Cranks, Hope chainring (30t), White Industries trials freewheel (18t), PAUL dual brake lever, nice and light Mavic rim/Tensile trials hub rear wheel.
The not so good bits: The chainring’s lost a tooth, and the front wheel is nothing special. Avid BB5 front brake isn’t the best stopping device in the world, but it works OK. Pedal bearings are falling to bits.
I’ll be keeping the rotor guard, and the saddle supplied will be a Planet X superlight with Ti alloy rails, rather than the Flite in the pictures.
Looking for £500 for the whole bike, or £350 for F&F. Happy to ship wherever at buyer’s cost, or collection from Sheffield.
