• Okay, so I really don't know whether I'm comming or going at the moment on the bike front, but I know I need a second (third really) fixed wheel bicycle to ride. I have a lo-pro thats boss, so I don't want another.

    So what I need is a frame around about a 56, up to 58 I guess. Must be steel. Also it can't have toe-overlap. I can't handle overlap. It makes me cry, which I'm sure you will agree is not a good thing. Oh and it must be a track frame, not a road one. Doesn't have to be made for racing on the track though if you know what I mean. Its going to be used as my day to day around town bicycle.

    So if you have a suitable frame, or want to recomend one that I could buy that would be swell.

    I'm looking to spend up to £400, but ideally considerably less, so I can afford to go to paris.

  • mmm, njs?

  • nah, nhs all the way with me.

  • To? Htfu!

  • huh?
    I'm lost now.

  • Have you got a picture of your finished lo-pro... I remember seeing a pic just after you got is sprayed... want to see it in its finished glory

  • There is one somewhere. Just not sure where.

  • Get a Langster? :)

  • It has toe-overlap.
    Plus I'd like a more traditional look - namely no stinky sloping top tube.

  • If by any chance two come up I am also interested in nearly the exact same thing

  • I have just re-built up the old T-Pena in a last-ride-then-sale type plan.
    It's italian Steel track 56. Slight prob is a slightly bent seat stay. I have had this re-set and now tracks straight and mechanic types have told me that structurally it's fine. Just looks like a little wobble.

    It's built up with some nice bits. PM me if you want pics. Looking for about 400 for the whole shebang.

  • Why is toe overlap such an issue? How big are your feet?

  • A big 11.
    But I need large clips.

    And I find toe-overlap such a pain, particularly as in london you do ride slowly enough to feel it when threading through traffic.

  • Seen Speed? I never drop below 30kph. I'm on a turbo now.. lest I explode.

    Clipless and knowing how to deal with overlap ftw :)

  • i've got one i might sell, just working out which frame suits me the best.

    56 top
    57 seat

    no toe overlap but it a beast of of track frame, super stiff and fast, very tight rear wheel, you can only use half the drop out or it will catch the seat tube.531c tubing
