Wanted: Lo Pro 'funny bike' frame/bike

Hi all,

I've been looking at funny bikes for years and always loved them from the first time I saw then in cycling weekly for the world team time trial many many yrs ago.

So as such I'm looking for a lo-pro frame or bike you know the ones...650c or 24" front wheel and sloping tubes. Ideally it will need to be under 58cm seat tube length but will consider a cm or two higher.

If you have one and are looking to sell please give me a shout.

many thanks
Neil

I have an immaculate Colnago pursuit/hour record bike in the aero Oval CX tubeset with full campag Record/Super Record and Shamals that I migh sell. It is freshly restored to original condition, all the parts are NOS or hardly used. But it would quite expensive - £1500. It is 650 front, very low horizontal top tube. Weighs about 17lbs.

You can see it on Velospace - http://velospace.org/node/14392

schwiiiing

oooo la la!

fook me - please let the gods smile and deliver me some business quick. What's the sizing of that Colnago?

mon dieu!!

now i would swap my gazellle tt frame for that one !

I have this early 80's 531c Jeff Bruce funny bike that I bought for my girlfriend - she doesn't like it, so I never finished building it. It is 56 c-to-t. I've got more or less (save some chainring bolts and a couple of cables) enough bits to build it geared with aerobars etc (it is 120 spaced so it'll only take a 5 or slimline 6 spd block) or fixed, or if you're interested I'd be happy to sell the frame and obscurely sized other bits (NOS mavic 24" wheel, tub and seatpin).


cheers, David

The Colnago has a 58cm top tube. Seat-tube lenght doesn't really count! There is quite a lot more room for adjustment of the insanely thin seatpost.

No offence like, cause I'm sure its lovley and all, but that Colnago. It is basically just a small normal frame with a small front wheel and a little* extra seat tube extension above the toptube.

• alot
  
  

Its not really the same without bent or sloping tubes.

might be for sale, if i get a good offer. ;)

I hate you - so it would be perfect for a 6 footer like myself...

Wash your mouth out with good ol' Imperial Leather - NOW!!! It is the most exquisite looking bike.

Deuce!

Surely that would be extremely difficult to ride, even on the track?

Dont think ive ever seen a vertical headtube before.

deus - that headtube angle looks rediculously steep, should there maybe be a 700 fork/wheel on the front?

I ride this on the road, it's a little skittish, but FUN.
+P

i might sell this frame and forks if the right offer came my way

Deus and Russel, seatube C-C, please

might be for sale, if i get a good offer. ;)

nice bike bruva :) the clearances look a little odd though was it built for 650 front originally? (might just be me being a donut)

Haven't I seen that offered for sale somewhere?

58cm ct 57cm toptube

I have been told it was a experiment frame for track, built for team mapei.
i've been using it with a 700 fork too.

I have another lopro, a repainted Dave Russell with shorter decales but i am nor sure it's for sale, It is even cooler! And one of my favourite bikes!'

in what region will be a sensible offer for the Negri?

spok-a-holic.

its not a cheap bike. Im just taking offers, no rush to sell.
