I’ve been offered a PDQ PB frameset, with brakes are they any good? Or will I be buying tat? I can borrow a cockpit from a friend. I’ve got some cranks, chain, 135 spaced fixed wheel and a front wheel. Is there anything else I’d need to have a go at a 10miler fixed?
Well, yes, obviously, but it depends on the price. You can typically get an old P2 or P3 frame for £500 or less once you've parted out one of the complete/partial bikes on ebay, so you probably don't want to pay more than half that for a PDQ
The frameset and brakes are a bit under that so they’re in the right ballpark. I was getting drawn in by the £1300 rrp on the frame, but looks like that includes the bars. Hmmm
