Am I mad, just bought this...

Just bought this frame and forks off ebay as I needed a project to play with and I wanted something different.

What do you guys think of the frame and I am mad to do it?

Is that a Paul's components rear mech? or some kind of chain tensioner?

If it is a Paul mech you could probably double your money just from selling it.

Oh hang on, it says 'frame & forks'.

if he hadn't just brought the frame and forks :)

heh

Like the way the rear hub has no cogs. Like-a-bike?

I'm surprised it didn't take off with those bars..

It all really depends on how much you spent on it really but it looks might tasty to me.

are you trying to turn this into a fixed?

dropouts ain't gonna be no good for fixed wheel.

why would you need cable housing for a chain tensioner?

Variable tension tensioner for when you need it toighter than toight.

Its just the frame and the forks but I am loving the black/white look.

Its made Columbus Oval tubing circa 1980's and is similar to the Colnago oval frame, it is a time trial bike and I may run it as a 6 speed non fixed (I am too old for fixed unless on a track) . Need to work out the price for the Nylon Red S headset and the guy also has a nylon deraileur for sale, just something different. The bars have been sold and are on there way to Japan.

This is the one that is similar to .....

The bars went to Sweden and we sure do love strange bars.
