lol

thats just the ticket
aaah reflecto porn

hi. i'm new. don't have either a fixed gear or singlespeed yet, but anyway. at least i live in london....!

This is about to end, I don't know anything about it, but it has quite nice lugs...

leave that bike t.o

if that thing has a french threaded bottom bracket (which i think it will), you'll be looking for one for ages...

as lpg said: leave it.

way too small for me anyway. have you got a claim staked or is it a pile of junk?

aha thanks

not craigslist, but might have something of interest:

Kiwi Cycles

way too small? how tall are you?

6'6" - i don't want to take this thread off topic, i should post a proper introduction somewhere...

btw that kiwicycles looks very interesting

6'6"? okay, we need to get you something bigger. a 63cm or something along those lines. this is actually good as frames that size usually go for less as it sits outside the popular bracket.

What do you think to this? Would £250 of bits be able to turn this into a half-decent fix?

£250 on top of the price of the frame should make for a decent fix.

Right! Finally going to get my hands dirty then. Unless I don't win it.

t.o.: what's your budget?

matt that frame is fucked - rust. also it needs a paintjob (£60), watch your budget

doesn't look too bad. dropouts are a bit crusty...but if it doesn't go for much, could be a good start.

Thanks for your advice guys. I've taken the risk and bought it because I know a car restorer who will sandblast and paint it for me.

good luck with it then, if you want some chroming done go to Tregunna chrome in nw8 off edgware rd, they chrome forks for £40

hippy Time to wax the gf..

Sharp as a knife as always hippy.

nice

remove the group set sell it for £1000 and turn the frame and forks into a tall bike !!

i like that daring idea dicki
