• I have just updated the photos of the Ephgrave track/path frame showing a more recent build I did for myself and have been riding. It's a wonderful frame.

    A few more details:

    • Frame number LE1352 [1952?]
    • 56cm square c2c, 14.7cm head tube, 28cm BB height, 100 x a little under 120 spacing
    • BSA BB, 1" steerer. Drilled fork, no provision for rear brake.
    • Mudguard eyes and generous clearances - the tyres shown are 700c x 32 on TB14 rims.
    • Lovely delicate pencil stays and fillet brazing (or from that era may be welded, I shall await the thoughts of any passing vintage experts).
    • Magic carpet ride quality, total bike weight as shown 8.8kg.
    • Was repainted by Bob Jackson's just before they closed 'that time', in a 'warm black' with nice hand box-lining. Paint still fresh, hardly ridden since refurb.
    • Only issue of note is the BB has been sleeved, but on a bike this age it basically just means a complete reset on worn threads and it's all good.

    Frame, fork and (new) Tange headset for sale at £350, for another £50 I will include the lovely vintage steel stem and alloy track bars, or £75 for them without the F&F but preference goes to someone buying the frame of course.
