  • I have a frame (well currently a complete bike at the moment but only the frame is available) that I'm considering parting with.

    A little history:

    The frame was built by Gottie Hanson of Hansom cycles (well chances are one of his many frame builders did the build) in South Africa around about the mid to late 90's. Hansom Cycles was the top frame builder in SA in the 80's & 90's. If you were looking for a top end race bike you normally went to Hansom or LeJeurn (built by DuToit).

    It's a track frame and has only ever been on the track. Reynolds 531C tubing. The fork is an alloy fork, might be a Vitus... the style of the crown is similar to both the Vitus and early Canondale forks.

    The frame was my brothers. He raced on it at National level in the late 90's and again here in the UK in 2007. He then got a Dolan (and is now on a Planet X) and I striped the frame and had it resprayed with the plan of building a track bike/single speed for my girlfriend. She is keen to race on the track and as this is not "Manchester Spec" she is not using it. It's to small for me... so...

    Colour is a high gloss black with a red flick in the paint that is picked up but the sunlight. It has *Kuwahara *decals on the frame.

    If I'm not mistaken it is a 52cm. Will measure up this evening and get some pics up.

    So... anyone interested? I know... silly question.

    Not sure of a price just yet. Open to sensible offers.

    :-)

  • My size, interested to see it.

    For some reason anything from SA seems tainted though.

  • tainted?? in what way?

  • sounds awesome as u say, would love to see pics and is my size too, would like to know a rough price to see if i could afford it as ive no idea!?

  • I guess im being racist towards the country, I can only imagine SA as a cruel place divided place. Ignore me.

  • better than birmingham.

    If you're not interested in buying peoples for sale stuff, then shut your fucking mouth.

    You spout an impressive amount of shit, did you know that.

  • LCB, does it again and again...............

  • not gonna get into politics...

    ;-)

    like any county in the world, over the years it's been governed by many different people with different ideals... you can't really judge it as an outsider... is it better off today than it was 20 years ago? yes and no. Is the UK better off today than it was 20 years ago??? mmmm... not sure.

    I'd say get on a jumbo jet and go for a visit... you might be pleasantly surprised...

    :-)

  • It is my size, and I would be interested in buying it pending price.

    No room for a little irrelavant banter?

    My sister spent some time in SA last year, confirmed a lot of feelings I had about the place.

    She got loads of racist abuse, even in a hip-hop club by a bunch of wiggers

  • My friend got his hands cut off by some Sylheti terrorists.

    oooooooooooooooooooh SNAP!

    You are a bit numb aren't you?

  • just pointing out the ironic element.

  • OK so here are pics and measurements.

    Measurements are:
    Seat Tube (c-to-c): 52cm
    Top Tube (c-to-c): 53cm
    Head Tube: 12cm

    There is a small ding on the seat tube (see pics), smaller than a pea. The clear coat as a few runs on the underside of the downtube but they are pretty much out of sight.

    I'd like £150 for it. Includes headset and BB.
