For Sale: Frame Clear-Out Part 2

Posted on
  • Still have a couple of frames that no-one bought in my frame clear-out in January, so thought I'd offer them again to see if anyone fancied them, having built a couple of other bikes up I'm now also selling on my Soma Rush frame.
    *
    Carlton Frame*
    Fairly sure this is an old Carlton frame, equaly sure it's made of 531. Someone clearly intended to get this completely chromed, only got halfway, getting the whole thing Zinc plated. Has horizontal drop-outs. Seat tube is 56cm C-to-C top, top tube is 57.5cm C-to-C. I paid £45 for this, so thats what I'm looking for, for it.

    Fort Track Frame
    Blue Fort 7005 track frame, the version without the cut-away seat-tube. Seat-tube is 54cm ctc and 57cm ctt, Top-tube is 56cm ctc. Frame is used but in overall pretty good condition, no dents, some paint chips/scrapes, but nothing serious. Comes with a new (undrilled) uncut Fort straight bladed steel track fork. Sale doesn't include the pictured USE seat-post or Miche chainset and bottom bracket, I'm looking for £135 for this. I don't have the bottom bracket any more, but happy to sell the chainset (with chain-ring and bolts) for £60. Cranks are 170mm long and chainring has 46 teeth.

    *Soma Rush Frame
    *Steel black Soma Rush frame with steel forks and Tange threaded headset. Sale doesn't include the wheels, bottle cage chainset or bottom bracket. The Soma Rush has tight, quite aggresive geometry, making it very responsive to ride, but being steel its more forgiving than an aluminium frame, I'm only selling it as I've commissioned a custom frame with similarly tight geometry to replace it. You can get the full details of the bikes geometry here , the frame is a size 53cm. Frame is mechanically perfect, but there are some minor cosmetic chips in the paintwork, mainly on the toptube, none actually break through the paint to expose steel. The fork is in perfect condition as I just had it resprayed by Colourtech, colour match is perfect.

    I'm looking for £150 for the frame, forks and headset, I'm also giving first dibs to a mate of ASM's, Roxy as I told him about the frame coming up a while ago, but took far longer to free this up by building up my interim ride than I intended/expected. Wheels and bottle cage aren't for sale, they're going on the next bike, but happy to sell the Ambrosio chainset and bottom bracket for £75, cranks are 170mm long, with a 130mm BCD, the chainring has 48 teeth. I also almost have a set of Ambrosio track wheels to go with this, rear wheel is fully built up, have the hub and rim for the front wheel, happy to sell the set for £120 fully built up.

  • I love that fort but can't go for it right now.
    Awesome though.

  • can it stay as zinc? or must it be chromed to not react badly..? anyone know how much it is to get chromed??!

  • I'm very interested in the Soma Rush...what's the situation regarding the dibs?? cheers

  • I am very interested in the carlton frame and would like to know if you will post to dublin, Ireland and how much shipping will be. so possible dibs?

  • Heeey! Is the Carlton frame still available?!
    Looks lovely :)
    I'm in London so can collect straight AWAY!
    Thanks alot,
    Sam

  • Hi guys, I got my girlfriend fixed up with another frame. OneFiveNine the soma is all yours - it's a great price!!

    Adam, I'm tempted by the Fort, but would need to sell at least 2 frames to make the space... :(

  • Thanks asm! I sure hope it's still available!!

  • @159, I'm realy sorry to disappoint you, but someone pm'd me witin an hour of me posting the thread, so once ASM's girlfriend emailed me to say she was sorted, he took it. I would have updated the thread sooner, but it's been a mental week. As it is I'm posting this from my I-phone on my way to somewhere. A couple of people have shown interest in the Carlton. The Fort is still up for grabs :)

  • The Fort is still up for grabs :)

    NOOOOOOOOooooooooo... :)

    I'll PM you next week once I've assessed funds... This by no means a dibs.. :)

  • In line with the new classifieds rules, just closing all my old classified threads, the Carlton's actually still around, will post details in a new thread when I've got some other bits together that I want to sell on :)
