eBay and Craigslist finds

I know it's not ebay, but planet X are doing their deep section carbon wheelsets (82mm front & 101mm rear or 50mm front&back) for £399, which is silly cheap for what they are. Shimano freehub I think

Suprised no one has mentioned the wooden track frame,
I owned this frame for a very short amount of time once funny to see it pop up again

Wood is scary.

ah ok missed the post,
I think the frame is a strandard steel track frame mounded with balsa wood.
I wish i could find pics of it set up as a TT bike i still have them somewhere maybe.

$149 + 65 p+p = $215 = £105 for an alu frame. hmmm.

same seller has an full aero frame for $399 (£203) if you want full slavery

• customs and tax
  
• fork
  will add up, you can get the unbranded dolans for about the same
  

also do a $89 fork (admittedly alu) but still that is some slavery for not much dinero.

they can come out looking okish

^ could use a little more seat post though

if you throw £600+ of stuff on any frame it may make a difference. still the worlds worst welding and the rear brake bridge obmination...

also, slack chain ;)

Hmm . . all the Leader messenger frames i have seen have a slightly backwards sloping top tube, unless you run a 650 front . . . They are dirt cheap and tough but i would rather go for an OTP Fuji Track Pro

I'm quite tempted to get one as an interim bike, depending on a few things.
its about the right price....

don't!! trust me.

stem expander bolts + wedges - pack of 6 for £2...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Handle-Bar-Stem-Expander-Bolt-British-made-Reliant_W0QQitemZ170219628398QQihZ007QQcategoryZ56197QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

boring but useful...

yum!

Henry, if I remember correctly, that guy is a dodgy as fuck seller.

Someone went to view one of his frames, and found it had a huge fuck off crack on the seat tube, from the seatstay bolt downwards. All of the questions in his ebay ad were "does the frame have a crack?" He kept saying no, the miserable, snivelling, lying man.

This frame is probably fine, but I wouldn't buy from him on principle. Also price is steep no?

yeah. and he doesn't inspect threads or check rear triangle alignment. seen a few frames from him with messed up bb threads...

ok, not fixed, but you could really piss the guy off and convert it:
