hello folks. i have been offered this bike and was wondering what other people thought about the value of it. Its a 26inch wheel fixed specific (no disc or rim brake mounts) custom built frame by dave lloyd (the cycling coach who used to be a frame builder too) for a guy called greg or gary someone who was a track rider in the 80's? anyhow, its an aluminium frame (not sure what tubing yet but might email d llyoyd next week to ask him to rack his brains), pace magnesium forks, goldtech hubs front and rear (fixed fixed), destickered rims, rear is slightly v shaped, front is normal shaped and has a braking surface (there will be a magura hydraulic rim brake fitted). seatpost is easton carbon as are the bars, stem is looong race face affair and cranks are some FSA boring mountain bike ones. i rode it and it was real nice though small but probably ok, thought that stem needs about 50mm cut off it and about 10 degrees more rise. its a shop, they want 450 for it. they already took a hundred quid off the price "cos its you". just wondered what people thought. check here for the pics....
