Anyone fancy treating themselves...

It's feckin' tiny.. seattube about 50cm C-C.

don't think i've seen a keirin frame over 57cm C-C.
and a lot of the japanese people i know have long torsos & short legs...

You aint been lookin hard enough here's one...yours for a 'bag of sand' http://njsframes.blogspot.com/2007/07/red-samson-njs-keirin-frame.html

It is a beauty but not as nice as the Nagasawa below!!...[edit] its not below its one the links above!! Take a look!

Nice lo-profile frame with trackends. Was gonna bid but can't afford to build right now. Someone else should go for it. Would make a nice bike when resprayed. Going cheap and about 25mins left. Go Go Go!

Should've waited closer to the end! Hope you get it mate. That is you winning right?

See the guys other auctions. Another track frame going cheap. 10 mins!!!

Todd See the guys other auctions. Another track frame going cheap. 10 mins!!!

not any more either... i've been watching it for 3 days already.

Ah.. is it one of you bidding on these?

All gone..

just as well you lost out there..

I think they went for well over the odds.

I didn't really want it.. not my size.. but I wasn't gonna let it go cheap!

Ended a bit high anyway. After a paintjob it'd start getting costly. When posting in this thread there always the possibility of ruining someones chances as well has helping someone get a good deal. Seems many people could/are watching the auctions already. Then there's the chance of bidding against each other and raising the price really high when it could've ended cheaper. Just the way it goes I guess.

once that pink set of tubes went over 30 as i watched it i gave up already.
plus 12 P+P, 50 powdercoat it's just getting way over the top.

thanks to this fixed craze that bloody thing went for 85quid just because it's got track ends. the seller must be over the moon i guess.

I think it was teh same guy that bought both? Roberto's buying alias? ;) Clean 'em up for big profit..

£79+12 P&P is a bargain if you compare it with this at nearly £350: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PLUM-Vainqueur-track-pista-frame-Campagnolo-AS-NEW_W0QQitemZ220132609908QQihZ012QQcategoryZ98084QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
the pics seems to be have been removed, but it's a trad euro style steel track frame.
I saw this frame as a complete bike at a jumble, somebody bought it for £300, and now the frame and all the parts are being sold separately, like the cranks:

so somebody's making a tidy profit!

Ok it's not track but come on look at this!

There's a big difference though between a track frame ridden a few times and the beater that went for £79.
Those cranks look interesting - the arm to spider join in particular - but "Mygal"?? That'd have to go!
It's Roberto (lfgss poster) selling these by the way.. his household the envy of everyone.. :)

Roberto Ok it's not track but come on look at this!

Damn it Roberto! Stop posting cool stuff in my size! ;-)

That diamant (or an identical one) slipped through my fingers the other week, went for about £3 more than i put down. Whoever got it got a bargain, shame to see it's blatantly gone straight back on the 'bay.

Ah well, vertical dropouts would have been a pain anyway ;)

It should be a road bike with a nice groupset on it. No icky fixed conversions on this please. :)

Dunno what you're talkin' bout Todd.. ;-)

^^^Posted that earlier hippy. When it was just listed it had a 'buy it now' of £50. Now it's at £50 with 5 hours left. Interested to know what it goes for when someone could've had it for £50.

Todd Cheap Olmo 58cm Road Frame with decent BB and Headset. BUY IT NOW £50! Just listed. Pick up in Nothamptonshire though. Might be good for someone to convert to fixed. BE QUICK!!!!

I've seen the same thing happen a lot when I was buying SLR saddles. I missed a couple of auctions where it didn't sell for £25 and then some knob-end buys it later for £35! Then people pay £40 for a SLR XP (cheaper one with steel rails) when I buy the titanium SLR for £31. I mean, do people even have a 30 second google to see what the item they're bidding on is worth in shops?

I just don't know what I'm talking about! This keeps happening a lot. Seeing things again. (goes searching for pills).
Ah...much better. Where was we? Dave Russell track frame. Yes...nice. ;-)
