For Sale: £200 new track bike with deep v's

Posted on
  • Buyers remorse and the reality of not really having the space or time to do what i had planned in my head with this means me getting rid of it.
    Im not going to bullshit you it's fitted with pretty crap parts but for £200 it's still pretty good. Suit someone 5'8" +
    Im kensel green/ladbroke grove based.

  • Pics are broke!

  • What size frame is it, scrapper? I may be very very very interested. Looking for a 53, 54 maximum.

    Also is the headset 1 inch or 1 1/8th?

    Also, just out of curiosity, what kind of wheels are they?

    PM me or check the mobile no's thread in private for me number.

  • ST - 55 C-C
    TT - 52 C-C
    wheels no name brand ones
    looks like 1-1/8th but i will check.

  • i think i saw you riding on sunday about....6:15pm-ish at oxford circus with 2 other guys riding freewheel ......no relevance

  • Edit

    Talked with edwin, he's after a more classic (lugged/threaded forks etc) frame. Sorry to waste your time marc.

  • More classic, goes with the Rickenbacker see?

  • Hiya, I'm pretty (very) interested, just a coupla things: 1: what are the hubs? 2: what's the frame? you say it's a USA import, is it an IRO or similar? i'm presuming it's steel, is that right....?

  • Hubs, are no name brand as is everything on the bike.
    Frame see above, yes it's a steel frame
    On-one have some good hubs you could swap them out for £15ea
    This is not a high quality bike i don't want to bullshit anyone on here,
    Basically you are getting what you pay for and thats £200 for a new bike

    But its a good place to start your fixed/single speed revolution

  • More classic, goes with the Rickenbacker see?

    I'm not sure you'd call a Light Show Ricky classic..

  • It was early in the morning and it was the first Edwyn Collins picture google images came up with! I can't help myself, so i'm going to rip it up and start again, never seen a bike like this before [i must stop the crap puns]...

  • Hi

    Just sent you a PM, but can i also just question your sizes? that top tube length (52cm) seems v.short for a 55cm c-c seat tube, are those really the right sizes? or is the seat tube length measured from center to top?

  • Yeah it is the correct sizing , measured twice
    the Seat tube maybe is 1cm shorter. but the Top tube is shorter than the S-T for sure.

  • I have a maple rickenbacker 330. :) Definitely more classic than those lightshow ones.

  • Sold via ebay

  • Did you actually brought that bike off a bloke near the railway bridge on portobello road during the market for £200 exactly?

  • :d

  • Ha. Saw those at brick lame market too.
    Love the 'Rainbow' rims.

  • you mean brick lane market in general or the Brick Lane Bike? cause I'm thinking of swapping my converted Peugeot fixie for one, especially since it's a track frame already.

  • don't waste your time with these bikes your better off trawling ebay for a new frame

    you mean brick lane market in general or the Brick Lane Bike? cause I'm thinking of swapping my converted Peugeot fixie for one, especially since it's a track frame already.

  • that the thing, I find it cheaper to start fresh again, the frame itself look reasonably decent and then slowly build the bike up with proper part than trying to find a frame and spend age trying to get the right part for it (thus, leaving me with an unridable bike for a week or even a month, I can only afford one bicycle in my life).

  • but you'll be swapping the whole thing in 2 weeks. Don't bother.
