A full vintage track bike went last night BIN £99! Had airlite hubs, charter lea cranks, fiamme milano rims, brooks swallow, and loads of GB bits. Nice lugs too. Will turn out a beauty.

I had a chance to get it but it was too big. It went in minutes. Anyone here get it?

I can't find the link either now.

you'll be talking about this one then. some of what you say is true. brooks bit not so true, chater lea crank mistake i think. also looks like its had a little front on collision. i love the harden front hub,,,,,, that i would love.

Ah so it was a clamp not crank! My mistake. Was reading so quickly!
Brooks is either an old swallow or it's been chopped.
Either way...£99 is a bargain. (if no collision) Looks ok to me.
That frame will come up amazing after a new paint job.
Must be an old path racer or summat...

Isn't this the same one that someone was trying to sell on here a while back? Where the 'chip' in the spoke is actually a gaping hole?

To be honest, this is a disgrace.

"have taken it to a bike shop to check if the wheel is still rideable", I'd be interested to know which bike shop & what exactly they had to say. I'd be riddled with guilt if i sold a defective product to someone and they suffered harm because of my small monetary gain.

^^^ Thats not a small chip.

Sadly some poor chump will pay for this, but if raleigh felt it safe surly he would have kepted the wheel instead of hawking it on to fund buying a new one.

christ! there's no way i'd ride that shit!!!

its a 4 spoke!

can anyone ID make of this frame?

i might be able to later ,,, i recognise the fork crown, just need to give it ten minutes and i'll be able to name it, maybe

sure that frame's bigger than 58cm..

even so the bike's gorgeous, just my size and way out of my league right now.... :(

i need a bigger frame than 58, i will try to win it, hope it doesnot go much over €400,- gonna have to ask how much shipping will be to the netherlands also, the bike definately looks sweet and bigger than 58

Extremely expensive headset.
Who has the money for this sort of thing in this economic climate?

man, i've been there and spoken to people first hand. not just stories from mates of mates. thats chinese whispers.

I'm a cock?
You just go on a massive rant at me and you call me a cock?

Calm the fuck down.

I've been told some worrying stories by people in the US who spend ALOT of time with him. Hearing them, from people I respect makes me not keen on having a geekhouse despite my inital impression (from this forum and you and eyebrows) that they are great. I've mentioned what those worrying stories are. And these are from people who have known Marty for alot longer then two years. I'm not going on a crusade against him or the bikes. If you like yours then thats great. I won't be buying one though.

Bugger, its french thread.

ha!

dale let it go!
the mans made his case, you've made yours, agree to disagree and move on.
Unless Marty is like your brother who saved your life in 'nam, you've done the friend duty and protected his good name and such now be quiet and go and ride the geekhouse, before you sell it on...
