I present to the Form my 61cms Tokyo Fixed S2 frame, forks and Stronglight headset.
I purchased this frame in Tokyo fixed's closing down sale back in 2013.
My intention was to get really fit and use it to time trial on in club events. Unfortunately, I never quite managed it! Since purchase, the frame has languished in the garage. Yes, that's right a lovely frame like this has not been used - ever! In my defence, I have been in Yorkshire on caring duties. The only think I've done with the frame is fit a top quality Stronglight headset and clean out the bottom bracket threads
so the frame will accept a new bottom bracket. There are one or two chips from storage
shown.
The measurements are:
Seat Tube centre to top = 61 cms
Top Tube centre to centre = 57 cms
Head Tube = 19cms
I think you'll need long reach calipers for this and I reckon you'll be able to fit a 28mm rear tyre. It's a bit tighter on the front - so 25mm.
The frame is steel 4130 but isn't a Surly! It is quite lightweight with decent lugs. Interestingly, the bottom bracket area is TIG welded for greater strength and rigidity.
I would like to get back close to my initial outlay and I am taking into consideration the storage chips - circa £225. A fair price I feel for such a lovely frame which really needs someone to look after it and ride the way it was meant to be ridden - hard!
The frame is located in Hounslow and as I'm away in Yorkshire it will be collection only.
