  • Usually a 63 or 64. I think the problem here will be the reduced stack height with the top tube topping out around 57.5/58cm. I suspect the drop from seat height to bar will aggravate an old back issue. I could get a longer quill but it would look naff and the frame deserves better than that.

  • Yeah I hear you. Build looks great it's a shame if it doesn't fit.
    Can be difficult to find frames big enough for our height. I'll keep an eye out for anything you're letting go.

  • Sure no problem. I am commencing a clear out in a couple of weeks which will probably involve this frameset and a couple of other 64 cm bikes which I may split up the components from if there is separate demand.

  • Sounds good! Let me know

  • Good news. A purchase off @mxprez_j has secured some more pista hubs... with the infamous tracknuts. The nuts will be loaned to the hubs on the bike and these hubs refurbed. All being well (and if it is dry) perhaps a test ride along the quay this weekend!

  • So today was the day for a quick spin, and it didn’t disappoint. The bike was a joy to ride. My first time on 165mm cranks and combined with a 47x18 gearing made it quite responsive. I even took it into my lbs to show it off...

  • The bike is as pretty as a picture and if I was a bit younger I would keep it. Unfortunately I think the drop to the bars will take its toll on me if used regularly.
    I’m putting together a mega sales thread starting tomorrow as I’ve decided to bite the bullet and go for a custom built frame. To fund it this frameset,a couple of other bikes and spares will be up for grabs. I need stuff gone so I thought £250 plus fees and postage for this frameset including the Campagnolo headset. More details tomorrow.

  • I can't see on my phone. Is it drilled for brakes?

  • Sorry Rolling it isn’t. Dia compe track brakes would need to be used

  • dia compe track brake

    I have a spare, for round-blade forks. If needed.

    Nice frame and good price @Yellow_Peril GLWS

  • Cheers @miro_o I thought that price for the frameset including campag headset was reasonable. Let's see if anyone else feels the same.
