i expect the person selling the knight is on the forum

Those dropouts do look to be at a weird angle.. and poorly fitted.

provenrad Those dropouts do look to be at a weird angle.. and poorly fitted.

in response to asking if it was original and that i suggested it didn't and he was just out to fleece a hipster. i got this response

"I'm not trying to "fleece" anyone as you put it. Are you suggesting I'm lying? I told you not to worry because I'm confident that it has not been doctored. Come and have a look at the thing if you're interested in buying it. I'll even take more photo's if you're a genuine buyer. If it helps I've owned a fair few myself and I know what they look like. If you're not a genuine buyer then why are wasting so much time? Go out and ride your bike."

then i retracted my bids!

'Nuff said.

TBH, they look don't fit the period the lugs suggest, the stickers (?) are budget and badly applied, the powdercoat is very thick and it just all looks wrong. Even if it is a track frame proper, the ends have been retro-fitted and badly at that.

Still, you pays your money......

lol i love this ad - http://www.gumtree.com/london/55/21959655.html

"I bought the bike last year to cycle to work but then realized its probably more designed for off road use" I wonder when the penny dropped..

People don't like it when there is no option to bid - they feel as though they are being cheated out of a bargain ;-)

Hmmmm.... i might change it to a 99p start then and let the frenzy begin ;)

BoBoB Hmmmm.... i might change it to a 99p start then and let the frenzy begin ;)

you hope ;)

BoBoB Hmmmm.... i might change it to a 99p start then and let the frenzy begin ;)

99p start with a reserve set at £550 - keep 'em frustrated ;-)

BoBoB Hmmmm.... i might change it to a 99p start then and let the frenzy begin ;)

99p starter create an alter ego and bid up against the bidders, reap the rewards

Yea, I got pics of the frame with wheels in it a few days ago. Definitely an odd angle going on there. The closer you get the rear wheel to the seattube, the lower the bottom bracket and pedals get.

not on the bay or the tree but if you fancy an off the peg that you won't see everywhere then maybe this:

you seem to be paying a bit for that name though...

yea, it slopes. get over it.

This isn't an ebay find but if anybody wants a large caygill (below) i know where i can get one from, think he wants 250 or thereabouts (can't remember exactly) for it, i'm going on friday to pick up another bike for myself so if anyone wants it, i can bring it back with me :)

Let me know folks

i like but way to big for me

That frame is lovely.

Anyone got any stilts?...that Caygill is a stunner

It is nice.... i have emailed him for more info on parts... he said it was a 25" centre to top so its big :)

I wanted it but can't afford it aswell as all the others i have :(

That's to the top of the seat tube though which must rise above the top tube at least 5cm
Doesn't look that big. Reckon it's around 57 c-c?
That price is just for the frame right?
