• From the advert:

    Hi, I have for sale here a great single speed steel road bike however i have also a pair of track wheels coming at the weekend i could sell for an extra £50 to convert to fixed, recently resprayed bianchi / pistachio green. It is for sombody 5'10 to 6'4 and is in as new order. It has a single cog freewheel but no rear mech or tensioner so looks like a fixed.
    I rubbed down an old steel frame, primed it, sprayed and lacqured it so its got a good finish and looks the part. I used an old screw on style rear wheel (mavic mach 2 rim on mavic 501 hub) and an almost new front( shimano xt), vintage sakae single speed cranks (52t), everything else is new ( see parts list). Now has chain !

    cost - £175
    noname steel frame + DIY paint job + 52x17 + mismatched parts - yes
    size / make / model of frame given - no
    I've just posted an advert for a 2007 virtually unused langster for £220 on the ebay finds thread - how does this £225 homemade bike look now? (apart from bianchi green)
