• I need to let this go now - both physically and emotionally.

    A lovely turquoise Roy Swinnerton pursuit frame re-enameled by Terry Dolan.

    I am unsure of the precise era for this bike and I cannot tell you anything about the tubing other than it is really, really freaking light. Someone may chime in and enlighten me. I bought this off the forum years ago and rode it for a while but hung it up for dad reasons and work stuff. I rode it fixed on a magic gear and it was great, such a fun bike to ride. Check here for your magic gear options:

    Note - chainstay is approx 41.5cm and I think I rode it 48x20

    Measures 58cm ST and a rough ETT of 58cm and takes 700c wheels - faux pro not lo-pro.
    Seatpost is included as it's a weird size (~26mm)
    Cinelli stem and Nitto risers with Oury grips included
    Rear dropouts are forward facing and 126mm - old 6/7speed spacing according to Sheldon
    I ran the bike on Goldtec hubs with the with 130mm axle conversion - I can give you that axle if you want it as part of the sale.

    With this built up the right way, you could easily rise through the ranks of the Hipity Hopity brigade and command your own Fixeh Batallion.

    It's nice. It's light. It's yours for £150.

    Preference is to collect in SE London - but could be persuaded to post at your cost.

    Rules for my sale:

    First come first served - PMs only thanks
    PMs are answered in the order in which they are received.
    Cash is king - Dibs mean nothing

    FAQs for my sale:

    Can you really do rules? - Yes, I can do this. I have been on this forum a long time which is why I made this list. It is preemptive and, trust me, this is the best use of both your time and mine.
    Do I have to abide by the rules? - Yes but only for this particular sale. There are many other wonderful sales threads with wonderful bikes from wonderful people that have wonderfully different rules, so try those.
    I might ship if anyone is super interested. It will be at your cost.
    No. I would not take less than that. I pre-haggled with myself on your behalf and drove a hard bargain where you did pretty well. You should be pretty happy with that outcome. You're welcome.
    No. I'm not tracking who/when/what/queue order in the thread
    Did you get my PM? - I am working full time still and doing lots of childcare so I do not have lots of free time to follow this thread, answer a ton of questions or respond to PMs within 5 seconds.
    Is it still available? - When it is sold / gone I will update the thread and close it. If the thread is open please send me a PM.

    EDITED - 22/06/2020 to add in more dropout information
