SOLD: Hansom 531 Steel Track Bike - Rad Rat

Up for sale here is my beater - my "Rad Rat".
It doesn't look like much but it has very decent components on it. It's basically a quality bike that runs very well but you don't have to worry too much about it. I didn't clean it for the pictures because that would be absurd.
I really love it but it was always too small for me and after I broke both my wrist last year (not on this bike) it is simply too aggressive for me to ride it comfortably.

It's a 531 Reynolds Hansom track frame like this one. Tight clearances and a high bottom bracket for those crit leans. It's so high a bottle of whiskey fits below.

That looks amazing.

Very very tasty glws

It's a beauty! GLWS

I am desperate for a beater and this looks perfect. How tall are you?

I am 6ft /183cm with a long inseam. The wide bars, long stem and a bit of setback on the seatpost makes this definitely rideable but ideally you shouldn’t be taller. I also have quite small feet (8.5). As this is a tight track frame you might have issues with toe overlap with bigger feet depending on your pedals/cleat position.

Beautiful

Nice, another Hansom! Don’t see too many around. Quality builder.

Hope you don’t mind but here’s mine :)

Haha, not at all. Yours is actually linked in the first post. Beautiful bike that. Sick paint job.

Did you buy the frame off here? Pretty sure I used to own that once upon a time.

I'm selling a charge plug in 56. PM me if interested

(Sorry to hijack thread - the Hansom is 🔥)

That is gorgeous

Hey everybody,
Thanks for your interest. That bike is sold now.

@oheyitsd yes, I went back through my old messages and I think I bought the frame off you.

Cheers @Oddo! Bike rides like a dream.
