For Sale: Brother Swift Bronze build 58cm

Posted on
  • Hi all, I'm looking to sell my Brother Swift Bronze (frame bought from here about a year ago). It's a 58cm frame with the forks cut down with no room for spacers. Worked well for me (185cm).

    I'm selling because a SS/fixie is a bike too far for me, and I'm hoping to fund a new mountain bike instead.

    Looking for £250 for the whole thing. No crashes, good working order but in need of a service.

    The pic is from a while ago, will update with more recent ones when I have the chance.

    Build as follows:

    Brother Swift Bronze (58cm) - there are a couple of scratches on the top tube, and some flaked paint on the forks.
    Stronglight Track 2000 Crankset 170 mm Black Chainring 48t
    Stronglight JP 400 JIS Bottom Bracket
    Brooks B17 saddle (not in picture)
    KMC Z510 Single Speed Chain Gold 18in
    Deda Crononero Handlebars Low Profile 42cm
    SRAM TT500 Brake Levers (the rear is missing a bolt)
    Rear wheel: Alex with 16t & 18t freewheels installed
    Front wheel 28h Ambrosio Excellight laced to NovaTec A171
    (I can also throw in a homemade rear Ambrosio Excelight 32H Rim laced to Formula TH51 Fixed/Free Rear Hub: 32 Black with 16t cog. This will need relacing and truing, however).
    Complete with Gatorskins
    Pedals not included

  • Always thought these frames were really smart looking. GLWS.

  • This is a ridiculous bargain

  • PMd

  • 2nd dibs!

  • ridiculous bargain

    This. Presumably sold already?

  • No. Too small for mattyc. Still available.

  • Dibs then

  • Me?

    Where are you based? still keen!

    Cheers,
    Matt

  • Screwed up guys. Confused Matt for jpb, who it was too small for.

    Technically, mattyc has first dibs then Luke.

  • third dibs

  • Okay, mattyc has gone awol, so Luke I've dropped you a PM.

  • Pm'd in case it still ends up being around...

  • Right, so after giving the bike a bit of a clean etc on Saturday, it appears the seat pin has seized in the seat tube. This is no doubt a result of my non-existent, post-downpour maintenance routine, so I have to reluctantly take it off the market.

    Sorry if i've wasted anyone's time.

  • Hi, Don't suppose this is still available?

    J

  • Sadly, yes. It's in my shed feeling sorry for itself. Not sure what to do from here.

  • PM'd you Last week!

  • Great, just pm'd you.

  • Not sure what to do from here.

    Either sell it 4cheapz with the stuck post or get the post unstuck and carry on where you left off?

    Edit: £250 is already pretty cheap, stuck post or not.
