One of the dropouts on my conversion has cracked and isn't looking too healthy. rather than shelling out £75 to replace the dropout i reckon i might as well splash out on a track frame. running a 59cm road frame at the moment and it's a little big so i guess a 57-58cm track frame?

not sure yet, got to consult the local framebuilder to see if he can just repair the crack, then turn it into a road bike. if not might sell it on the cheap..

i have a diamant i'm looking to sell for about £110. Admittedly not a track bike but it does have nice tight clearances, and ace painjob and comes with like new bottom bracket and headset :p

hmm... looks interesting, the frame i've got at the moment is a diament road frame just like that and only cost £50 though!

well i paid 120 for it without bottom bracket or headset so the least i'd be after is 100 or it'll go on the bay. oh and it's a 53, i should have said but didn't read your post very hard haha, sorry

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
