Any one heard of Alf Webb bikes

Posted on
  • Stumbled across this one - http://www.webbline.co.uk/completebikes.asp (fixed is halfway down the page).

    Anyone heard of them?

  • you want a crazy ass paint job that looks like it was done with a toothbrush

    ya gottit

  • fanks mister alf...

  • I saw a bloke taking his Alf Webb track bike out of the bike park when I was going to get mine, at the TOL prologue

    yes, they look as...interesting in the flesh.

    Aluminium, not my bag.

    Alf Webb the man, is a very nice chap. he built me a wheelset once.

  • look kinda lax for a track bike...

    though from the looks of it, i don't see the normal tooth-paste welds you tend to have with aluminum frames

  • I did a wheelbuilding course with him (though it was his missus who was the expert). He's friendly enough, operating out of a vast property in the middle of the fens near Spalding.

    No comment on the bike though.

  • Judging by the trouserguard, I'd say its not designed for the track

  • the BB's too low
    the chainstays are too long
    the head angle is too sharp

    to be fair, it's a stinker.

    but AW is a top chap.

  • It looks like the NYC track/city bike. The track ends look awful and the welds are like crap smeared over a join.
    I wouldn't believe it if they were made anywhere other than the far east by robots.

  • Of course, i'm no expert but it just looks wrong.

  • Had one of these frames for a couple of years

    Built into a great road fixed

    Regret letting it go for track frame

    If one came up would buy it in a hearbeat

  • I have an Alf Webb bike frame for sale if you're interested. It's one of 50 he made. I'm in Sheffield.

  • What size and price? It looks nice

  • It's a 54cm frame. Happily accept offers, otherwise it's just sitting in storage! It's well worn and would need a lot of TLC but the frame and carbon seatpost are still in good condition (I know very little about bikes I'm afraid). It's tubing 7005 butted throughout.

  • Afraid I’m looking for single speed that looks like it has rear drop outs for derailier

  • I have one available if you're still interested, mine's a fixed gear/single speed.
