I've finally accepted that my frame is too big for me and in order to finance a new custom frame, I'm considering selling my bike. I did consider splitting it up and selling the parts on ebay, but I'd rather sell it whole.
Frame: Walvale Track 22inch C--to-C Seattube. Takes 26.8mm seatposts, Reynolds 531?
Fork: Condor Reynolds Steel road fork
Headset: Campagnolo Chorus, less than 1 year old.
BB: Miche Primato, less than 3 months.
Cranks Sugino 75 172.5mm, with Sugino Zen 51t chainring (good condition)
Chain HKK NJS. Strong, hard wearing and much much more silent than the Izumi's.
Pedals: Time RXS. Fully adjustable version.
Wheels: Campagnolo Record 28h large flange, laced to Mavic CXP30 tubular rims. Continental 22mm Competition Tubulars. Front tub got plenty of wear left in it, rear is looking at little tired, but is still good. Miche casette/sprocket system makes it easy to change sprockets. I got a 15t, 16t & 18 tsprocket (I think) coming with the bike.
Seatpin : Campagnolo 'aero' 26.8mm.
Saddle Selle Italia Flite Titanium.
Stem: 3TT Mutant quill stem. No longer made!.
Bars: Nitto bullhorns.
Front brake: Shimano Sora (Yes, it's a Sora, but it works)
Brake lever: Tektro 2.0, currently mounted on left side.
The frame was built by Norman Roberts at Walvale and was supposedly built for Stephen Geoff. It's straight and true, stiff but rides reasonably nicely for a track frame.
I've had it about 2 years and used it for commuting, a bit of training and a couple of hops to Herne Hill.
It's been stored indoors, both at home and at work.
I'm looking at £450, which I think is reasonable for the components it got and it can either be collected in N1/Central London or posted at cost.
Whisper me for further contact details, if you're interested.
