    PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE BUYING / ASKING Q’s


    •Photo 1 is the most recent (Graffiti background)
    •Photo 4 newly stripped & polished (Garden background)

    Other photos are differing times during ownership. The bike has been in garage storage and does not currently resemble photo 4 (clean steel). Please request extra photos if you need them for peice of mind.

    FRAMES CONDITION CHANGES OVER TIME as it is raw steel. See photos for reference!

    WILL NOT POST THIS LARGE ITEM!

    📍Pick up from Peterborough train station or March town, Cambridgeshire.

    Viewings possible but not guaranteed as I no longer live in the UK. The cycle is with my family.

    Pick up ONLY (anytime from August 2022)

    This cycle includes a selection of NJS (Japanese racing approved) & other quality parts. Including brands like; NITTO , IZUMI, AEROTRACK, MKS & MICHE.

    The parts alone are worth WELL over 350 GBP! I love this bike, built it myself & am only selling as I now live in Japan.

    I hope someone can enjoy it as much as I have!

    • Always stored indoors
    • Only high quality parts
    • Rusty / minor scratches due to age of frame but nothing compromising the bikes integrity or safety
    • Can easily be stripped & returned to bare (and beautiful) Columbus steel / painted any colour
    • This bike currently has a front brake only but easily adapted.

    Parts List :

    Frame = Believed to be a possible late 70s Bianchi Pista frame (paint stripped & lacquered)

    Stem - Nitto Pearl9 (NJS)

    Rims = 700c Halo Aerotrack wheelset (Clincher type - basically new!)

    Tyres = Continental Gatorskins (25C Wired - basically new!)

    Chain = Izumi Gold track chain (NJS)

    Handle Bars = NITTO ‘Special risers’- closed ends (NJS) (https://store.bluelug.com/nitto-closed-polished-riser-bar-special.html)

    Grips = 'Made in the USA’ (Octopus Grip-style)

    Front Brake lever = Tektro

    Brake Callipers = Miche Black + new pads

    Crank = Unknown brand single speed

    Back Cog = Shimano (single speed free-wheel)

    Pedals = MKS Silver (NJS)

    Saddle = By Brick Lane Bikes (no holes or tears)

    Seat Post = Unknown Silver steel

    Characteristics / Notes :

    1. The seat post is more difficult to adjust than usual, due to previous owner using a slightly too small a seat post- the seat & stem are in good condition!

    2. ‘Crankset’ type metal section welded to back forks (likely for a rear brake or stability) & adjacent to freewheel area. This work was professionally completed before I got the frame - a head turner among bike fam for sure.

    If you are looking for a perfect bike off the shelf, please do not bid. If you are looking for a TOP QUALITY bespoke cycle with character, this is a bargain find!!

    I love this bike. And hope you will too! 🚴
