FS: Rory O'Brien 61cm steel track frame + chrome forks

Howdy,

Selling my Rory O'Brien track frame and forks, as you can see from the seatpost height it's always been a bit small for me. Due to this, I've probably ridden a max of 30 miles in the last year so have decided it's best to go to a better home.

In good condition, the paint's started to chip a little bit but is generally in good nick. There's a small crack just below the seatpost bolt that was there when I purchased it in 2020, looking inside the seat tube it looks like it's been welded and it hasn't got any worse since I've owned it, I have the seatpost at max height as well and has never flexed in the frame etc.

I think the frame dates to the early 90's, definitely belongs on a track but is a solid and nippy bike on the road. Campagnolo dropouts and forks drilled for a break.

Included will be:

• Frame & forks
  
• headset (replaced 18mo ago)
  
• bb (replaced 18mo ago).
  
  

Build up for pics but will be getting stripped down soon.

Seat Tube - 61cm - centre to top
Top Tube - 54cm - centre to centre
Head Tube - 22cm - top to top

Based in Brighton.

Looking for £190 collected, can post if costs are covered.

Potential Dibs if you're ok with hanging on to it until the 14th of May? as that's the nearest time I will be down that way.

I think that might work, there's a chance I might be moving flat that weekend so ideally would shift it before then but I can certainly hang on to it if you're keen.

Pmd you.

Bump on this, hasn't been ridden for the past year and has been in storage. Will probably need the headset replaced or given a bit of love. I've also now removed the crappy inner tube wrapped around the top tube. I'll upload some new pics tomorrow.

Price dropped to £220.

Took some more pics today. Some very light spots of surface rust where the paint has started to chip from it being in storage.

How tall are you out of interest? Just trying to work out if I could make this work or I'll be too big. Cheers

I'm 6'6" with legs longer than my torso.
Every bike I've had has to have a really long seat tube and the shortest stem possible, the struggle is real. This frame was always too small for me :(

Called to mind this blast from the past. Nice frame though. GLWS

Wow, never have I felt more at home with my people, there are more of us!

Cheers mate

Bump on this as I've just moved house and need it gone, price dropped to £190.

Nice

Super nice

61 x 54! wowser

Bump and drop to £150.

It's been stored nice and dry in my flat for the last (looks at thread) 7 months 🙃

A forum fave. I'm 6'5" with a similar long leg issue. If I wasn't fecund with track bikes atm I might have taken that off you
