Wanted: 56cm Track Frame

Posted on
  • I'm kinda giving up on my lo pro search and now i'm thinking about a track frame. I really want a project for the summer, just your usual steel lugged frame, 56cm or cm either way. I've got a half built BSA 'tour of britain' frame/bike for part exchange/sale if anyone's interested in that.

    Cheers,
    Nick.

  • Hey Porter,
    I am thinking of selling this frame:

    Its an old Graham Weigh time trial/track frame, with track drop outs and close clearences. 22 inch top tube centre to centre, I have to double check but I think the seat tube is 22" centre to top. Its lugged 531c steel, all white, dripped front and rear, takes a 27.2 seat pin, english threaded bb, tange headset included.
    I am based in Hackney, if you want a look, price around £200.

  • Sorry to be picky, but it looks like the forks have had a little ding by that pic Gav

    Porter- you'll end up buying my low pro, you know its coming your way !!!!!! I can do a deal, pm if interested

  • Its the camera shot, I'll stick up some close up shots later.

  • Looks nice, i was thinking about a white frame/spraying it white anyway so thats a good start. I agree with el_diablo the forks do look a little odd but i'll take your word for it. Drop me a pm if/when you decide to sell, and i might just take it! Cheers, Nick.

  • That shot looks a little off too gav.

  • gav, if its had a smash just say and we can talk prices, 200 is a bit over what i was looking to spend anyway.

  • i'm going to have this one up for sale in the next week or so, when my new frame arrives (that should actually fit me) if its of any interest to you. Itll be around the £200 mark as well though

  • Now that is sweet! what is the minimum you would take for it, 200 is well over my budget. Cheers, Nick.

  • Hey guys, I appreciate the concern. I bought the whole bike to take the parts of for my girlfriends bike, and the intention of then passing on the frame. This is what I have been told by the previous owner:
    "Hi Gavin
    No the forks have never been damaged, This was my Track bike I used for 9yrs to ride track at Kirkby before (Man) velodrome was built they are ultra close clearance to get really steering response. If you are going to be using the Bike for around town I would suggest you fit some cheap steel road forks,they would give your feet more clearance from the wheel when turning sharp. Obviously on the track you do not ned to turn the wheel so much. Takes a bit of getting used to, But so much fun. Good Luck Happy Cycling"

    I don't really have any reason to doubt him, he has been very straightforward with me. I will let you guys make your own judgement.

  • That sounds fair enuff, like i said 200 is over my budget anyway and having to buy new forks would only make it more expensive, cheers anyway, Nick.

    getting a track frame for less than 200....maybe your budget needs revisiting.

  • fair point, which is why im gonna sell my current project to raise more funds for my next
