• Expensive all right, even with the components.

    He wasn't even offering much in the way of components - they were poorly matched and not all good quality.

    As to the description, it includes one of my pet hates - describing a single freewheel as 'fixed gear' showing a complete misunderstanding of the term 'fixed' which surely, in the context of this forum, must mean fixed wheel as opposed to freewheel.

    The paintwork looks like my very first attempt at frame spraying - we've all got to start somewhere, but beginners can hardly expect top money!

  • describing a single freewheel as 'fixed gear'

    I still hang on to fixedwheel in a curmudgeonly retro-grouch way.

  • Re that Condor Ebay description ... I didn’t check but just lifted from classiclightweights or somewhere wasn’t it? Can’t believe it sold for that unless they got very lucky and hit the piñata first time? Fixed gear means fixed ✊

    @falconvitesse re Brooks Sprinter ... heck yeah, the alloy one that sold a while back was pretty much the holy grail but this is also v nice.
