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

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.
