FS - Full Build (minus pedals) Raw Steel Fixed Rat - £SOLD

Raw/rat road frame now converted to fixed with horizontal dropouts added.

I can take the exact measurements tonight, but frame fits like a 52/54 (I’m 5”10 and it’s good) – as it’s raw, there’s a fair bit of surface rust, but nothing major. Rear brake-bridge has an odd hole in the top, but doesn’t effect structural integrity (see pics). Fork is drilled, but I think you’d need to replace the tyre if you wanted to fit a brake as clearance is too tight at the front rn.

Notable bits:

Raw frame with white 653 forks (assume the frame is also 653)
Smart-looking Suntour cranks (not sure on exact model)
San Marco Rolls Saddle
Miche Technology hubs laced to unknown but pretty light track rims
35mm Panaracer Pasella Gumwalls – lightly use

I’ll need to keep the pedals, but other that that it’s all good to ride home straight away. Only ever kept inside so everything’s nice and smooth.

I'm v sad to sell, it’s a lot of fun and makes a good pub/commuter but I just don't have the space - I’d like £SOLD for it pls but tell me if i'm well off on that

GLWS - can i take the handle bars?

Hey @Alphaone, I'm not really sure tbh - the rims are unbranded and I'm not really a hub expert. But I can have another look tonight see if they've anything extra written on them that might help?

That's a bargain....

What bars/stem? Us to small for me but like @rustyroadie I'll take the bars off you, and the stem too

GLWS

Thanks @Caxineiro - not sure on bars but they are comfy af, think its just a generic stem

Would prefer to sell as full build at the mo though

@Caxineiro be my guest on the bars - sometimes i can't help commenting before i check my wallet!

GLWS!

@rustyroadie pls see above re splitting

Only if @jday splits it whoever buys it doesn't want them.
Thanks @rustyroadie

my bad @jday blame my tardy sever speed

RR

Bargain of the month! That's an absolutely perfect ratty pub-bike right there, well done! Srsly, at this price, whoever gets this should should give the seller some extra beer or make a forum donation ;)

Dibs - message sent

I'd be interested if the cranks are 165 with 144bcd

superbe pro innit?
p.s. nah, the transition between the arm and the spider is smoother on the sp. probably a road crank given that the ring is mounted on the inner position.

2nd dibs? Will pm

I built this up for the previous owner, a girl called Devorah who sold it when she moved to Berlin, although it may have changed hands since. Just dropped her a message in case she wants to buy it back!

(Frame isn't 653, just the forks and they're road cranks)

No way ! I remember this one from a few threads back on gumtree. Remember seeing Devorah off to Berlin - have you heard from her? Hope she's going ok! Small world !!. Hope you don't mind the bump.

@jday looks great. Does it come with gears?

This is awesome, i'm building something similar atm. GLWS!
