Edit: Looking for £330 to recoup costs of getting another bike, but do let me know if that seems unrealistic. Am based in SE London (fairly central).
Bought this not too long ago as a winter commuter (also my first foray into fixed!), from someone my height, so I thought it would fit just fine. 54cm seat tube to mid-stem. Am discovering that it’s too aggressive a position for me (hence the raised bars) with its negative sloping top tube and pursuit bars, and I figured instead of swapping out the original bars I’d see if anyone would be interested in the bike as it is. Bike is amazing fun to ride and I’m having a blast commuting with it - great climber and nice and stiff, with good maneuverability, just my style of riding tends towards longer distances and rides and I can’t maintain the stretched out position this requires for rides upwards of two hours.
All parts original Bombtrack save for pedals and saddle. 46 crank - 17t rear, 6061 Alu alloy frame, rear wheel has sealed threads for a freewheel but it’s currently fixed only (edit: can throw in an 18T freewheel). Tektro brakes and bar end levers. Kenda tires.
Please note that there’s marks on the head tube from some terrible cable routing (cabling now resolved), and a paint chip on the left side front fork.
