• Bought this a few years ago as an emergency go between after my previous bike got nicked, but have only just got round to moving it on. The paintwork is très ratty with patches of surface rust, and there are a few bits of work that need doing before it's ready to ride, so this is reflected in the price.

    It's a large (60cm-ish) steel Dawes road frame converted for SS use. I'm 6'3 and it fitted me well Shimano Tiagra-hubbed wheel at the back with a Wheels Mfg single speed conversion kit, and a Campagnolo Venta wheel at the front (it was originally a matching one to the rear, but this was nicked also). I put the tape on the saddle when I bought it as the stitching had come loose, but it's worked fine since. The tires are also fairly well used and could with replacing soon (esp the back one) - I've got a pair of Schwalbe road tires I can chuck in for free if needed.

    Things that need doing:
    1) The BB needs replacing as it has come loose - Edwardes in Camberwell quoted me £35 for this
    2) It needs a rear brake. I've included an old one that I had hanging around, but it needs pads and a fastening bolt, as well as another lever
    3) The headset is a bit sticky

    However if you get those sorted you'll have yourself a nice pub/beater bike for cruising round on. I'm looking for £70 but open to reasonable offers. Based on the Old Kent Road (Elephant end), collection only I'm afraid but viewings are welcome. If you want any further info please get in touch via PM. Cheers!
