FOR SALE: Handmade Japanese Toyo Frame, Phil Wood rear hub, Cinelli Atler stem

Hello LFGSS

It's with a heavy heart that i have to part with my much loved fixed gear bike. I bought it in 2013 from gumtree off a courier who was heading back to Japan. I'm selling it today as I just don't have the space for 2 bikes.

It's a handmade frame with almost sparkly/iridescent bright yellow paint. As you can see from the pictures there are lots of scuffs and chips on the paint work but no damage to the frame, dings or dents. It's got beautiful geometry with flat top tube and aggressive forks. I don't know that much about the makers but here is a forum post form the US where someone does

The Godzilla frame is made from Kaisei 022 tubing (just like Ishiwata 022), has nicer dropouts, nicer welds, nicer paint, head tube reinforcing rings, and better finishing.
.......
Godzilla frames are currently being made for use with a 1” threadless headset, a 27.2 mm seatpost and 120mm rear hubs.
The first round of these is going to be the only one that is 1”, so they will probably be unicorns in a couple of years.

The only major issue is THE SEATPOST IS SEIZED - I have tried pulling it out with various tools and held it in a vice and twisted the frame to no avail. I have not tried anything chemical or with heat. I'm 6 foot and like my saddle fairly high and it fits me perfectly. Though obviously it's not ideal, it still works. It was my own stupid fault for putting an aluminium post in to a steel frame!

The Cinelli Alter stem is the one that you can cen clip-on pictures of pin-up girls, meant to keep riders motivated on a long cycle - its a cult classic! Again, its seen better days but functionally its in good nick. https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/cinelli-alter-stem-3

Rear hub is Phil Wood - Unbeatable on quality especially longevity

Price - to be honest I'd rather see this go all together though understand that people may want a split
Full bike as is - £ 500
If there is enough interest on splits etc I will go there, so just make offers on the parts that you are interested in.

I live in Stockwell (well done if you guessed) and so you can come see it in the evenings or weekends. Come and have a look if you like.

Let me know if you have any questions
