Sorry to every one for not getting pictures up yet, or replying to pm's yet, my internet connection has just been going haywire this morning.
Seems the people who have expressed a definite interest are natas, teenslain and marie and in that order, with JamesMac, dannyasteroid and antonioflsantos being sort off/conditionally interested, so that's the order I'm going to offer people the bike in.
I have found the tubular wheels, so happy to have whoever takes the bike take whichever set best suits them, I've also found a (straightish) bladed (aeroish) carbon fork (with ally steerer) that's drilled for a brake, happy to swap this out for the undrilled steel fork if the buyer prefers it, but I'd want another £50 for this (i.e. £300 for the bike). I'm off into the garden now to take some pics and internet connection allowing will post pics within the hour:)

^ Ha good luck! Track frames last on average about 7.4 seconds before they're dibs'd/sold.
...having said that, would love to see a photo of the carbon fork if the bike buyer doesn't want it, sounds like what I'm looking for...

Here at last are the pictures, here's the bike fitted with clinchers at steel fork, please note the tires pictures aren't included in the sale, I've promised them to someone else, but I will find a pair to stick on in their place;

heres the carbon fork, if you want this instead I'll happily fit it and will stick on a new headset at the same, but like I said before I'd want another £50 for this fork instead of the steel one;

and here are the tubs, the rims are unused new old stock, the hubs are used but in good nick, the rims aren't Mavic Argents like I said before they're Mavic Montherys;

how much for the GT??????????
Probably quite a bit, having said that I have a low-pro in the pipeline that'll fill the same niche as the GT, so probably should look at selling it on, will pm if I am :)
In the meantime here's a pic;

Getting back to the Fort, natas is out, which leaves teenslain first in line with marie next, they're the only people as far as I know who have said they're definitely interested. If poss I'd like to get this sorted tomorrow, so will definitely give preference to people who can meet up and do the deal tomorrow, I wouldn't 100% commit to buying a bike without selling it, so wouldn't expect anyone else to, but would like if poss to get this sorted this weekend.

For Sale: 53cm Fort Track Bike - £250
Posted by
Had a bit of a mis-communication with my brother, picked this up for him thinking he wanted me to sort a bike out for him, but he, unbeknownst to me went off and got a bike for himself, so this is now going spare. Ideally I'd like to sell this on ASAP, ideally, ideally this weekend.
Bike is built around a 53cm (c-c) Aluminium Fort track frame with a (undrilled) steel fork. This is the plain track frame, not the low pro one with the fluted/cut-out seat tube. Frame and fork are blue. Seat-tube is 53cm centre-to-centre and 56cm centre-to-top, top-tube is 54cm centre-to-centre. Has a 1" head tube and takes a 27.2mm seat post.
Frame is fitted with a 165mm Miche chainset, wheels made up with 36 hole Miche track hubs laced to Mavic MA2 (clincher) rims. No tyres fitted at the moment, but I can dig out a set from somewhere if needed. Fitted with 3T "The" stem and bars and a Condor branded aluminium seat-post and slightly tatty Selle Italia saddle.
Realise that clinchers aren't ideal for track duty, think I've got a set of 36 hole Miche/Mavic Argent tubular wheels in the shed, if the buyer prefers, though these aren't currently fitted with tubs. Forks aren't drilled, but are very easy to get drilled if you want to use the bike on the road and want a front brake, I got an identical fork, that I got drilled, fit to my GT GTB.
Spent £250 pulling this together, so that's what I'm looking for for it, if buyer can do the deal this weekend would consider a near offer, reason for the urgency is I just have too, too many bikes knocking around at the moment. I'll post some pics first thing tomorrow morning.
