Grun 55cm Track Bike

A Bargainous £550, just needs a saddle and pedals.
Up for sale as it's sadly too big for me - 55cm - and I have a very small flat and need the space and the cash much as it pains me. Anyone with a 32" inside leg or over will be fine.

Wheels are vintage campagnolo large flange track hubs on MA40's. Tyres are new Conti Gator Skins. Think its 48 18 gearing but would have to check. Andel cranks. Thomson stem and seat collar. New black carbon post. Note pedals are not included.
Double link chain, the frame is made from AL6069 alloy - versus AL6061 it has a 40% greater yield strength and makes a certain famous Italian manufacturers welds look shonky. The rear drop outs feature stainless steel inserts. The paint is a crazy iridescent blue metallic flake. The frame was a team issue.

These frames are used in Red Hook Crits by Team Royal, this was a spare team issue frame and never ridden. Buyer collects from Bolton Lancashire - very easy to find. Bring any blankets etc if you need to wrap. May be prepared to drive to Birmingham in terms of distance to meet say M5 Frankley Services.

The current version of just this frame alone sells for £575 plus import from Singapore.

Couple more shots. Frankly on welds these guys are just showing off... The paint by the way is iridescent very hard to photograph. Listing was originally on ebay for the hard of learning so excuse some of the language in the ad. Should add, only ridden ten miles this frame before I realised I was too vertically challenged. The seatposts at a jaunty height as its new and wanted to protect all the crabons on the post...

some interests... : ) they get first bite of the proverbial cherry... but anyone else?...

£525... extended to the chap who messaged first as well...

Now with a free turbomatic saddle come on... I can meet at Watford Gap at the weekend. Just taken it for a kebab... It certainly shifts.

It certainly shifts.

Which is unusual for a fixed gear bike.

Gah... As soon as I typed that I thought, just wait... Lol.

Ew. Right last bump then back on ebay, if I'd stuck a cinelli sticker on this people would be on it like Peter Stringfellow at a nudist camp, even though this thing (red hook crit team frame) frankly is in another league both in terms of alloy and brazing. £500... last go at this price. The frame alone is £575 plus shipping and import duty! This is as low as I can go.

£475... ulp. Just needs pedals. Some interest, but blimey...

I know you probably don't want to hear this, but very interested in wheelset if split.. Also, beautiful bike, GLWS! Cheers!

Cheers Creek, it's a lovely thing. If you were a little closer I'd be cool with the wheel thing, but would rather drop the bike off as it is!

£450 - hate to think what it's cost me considering it's done about 10 miles.

okay so... here's what its worth (yadda yadda - I know that's to a degree irrelevant) : )
Frame £550 plus shipping and import and duty from singapore (not included here) beyond cinelli quality imho. Also made from AL6069 alloy 40% greater yield strength.
Wheels cost me about £200
Chainset Andel, think it was £75
Tyres about £50
Stem about £50
Saddle used turbomatic £30
Crabon seatpost £15
BB and brake £25
Finger lever and Bar Cannondale plus some nice Bontrager God knows.

soooo.... that's £945 in realworld quids plus at least another ton to get the frame into the UK in the first place. I've haggled on some aspects and got the frame and stem at a good price, but this is what you are getting. I think my price is fair and that even includes driving it as far as Brum. (or not - I can't drop this anymore but need the space)

That's totally fair, and suuuuch a bargain!! That paintjob would cost half your asking price!! GLWS

SOLD to a very nice chap. On his birthday too. Like the style.
