Track bike with nice chromey bits, but is vintage and therefore not immaculate. Seat tube 55cm/21 3/4" c-t, top tube 57cm/22 1/2" c-c. Wheels are tubular vintage mavic with a Schwalbe and a conti tube fitted. They have a sticker saying that they have passed inspection for use at the national championships.
Shorter cranks (165 or 160, not sure) and Nitto Noodle bars. If you are about 6' tall there is a little toe overlap and you are a bit too big for the bike (like me).
This belonged to Sean from Shelly cycles who died of a brain tumour. I've kept it for years for sentimental reasons, but I ride it about once a year as I am not really the type of person who rides a bike without mudguards and am more comfortable with a rear brake (which this bike cannot take).
This would suit someone shorter than I (~5'8" maybe) or who likes to race on small bikes.
I will include a spare tub, a can of tub-repair spray/inflator and some tub tape.
£400 is probably a crazy high price for this, but if you're cool enough for this bike you can probably afford it.
