For Sale: Track and road frames from £22

Plus you guys seem like a nice bunch, I'm sure I could scrounge some advice somewhere here, I'm doing it. Watch this ...building a banged up, shitty ss for £100. So if any of you guys spot stupid cheap shitty stuff, I would be very grateful if you let me know! Thanks.
Prepare to be flamed if you dont UTFS before you post a thread. . . i have been flamed once to often for fucking ridiulous things

No of course, I wasnt asking for advice now...just will be in the future if I cant find it in a search! Thanks for the pointer though.

The easiest way of getting a cheap build is to buy a dusty old road bike from the local paper/boot sale/neighbour then remove the gears and use a spacing kit to make it ss. £100 is a totally achievable budget if you use this method. Trying to get everything separately will most likely cost a whole load more even if you are using the shittest of the shit components.

'too' often. it's 'T O O' for gods sake!!! FLAME FLAME FLAME!!!!! ;)

ps. 'Ridiculous'

Is this a lump of shit or stolen, for £145 and a bit of tidyup (Although it looks totally mank, and obviously isnt a ss)....

What about this for moog's suggestion: buy the whole bike and then custom..

Although I would need a new set of bars, ... a saddle and maybe some other bits? for about £25.

Plus I'm about 6"0, is a 22" going to be too big?

...not sure. Sorry I can't post in my own thread, still in nursery.

That 1970s viking was a fucking steal.

v. good advice, go down this route

thought i spelt ridiculous wrong, didnt notice i had just put 1 o woops

Could I get someone's opinion on last frame there, are the dents not quite severe, would it be ok to ride?

okay, okay, pretty please could I get an opinion

its fine, like it says in the description, if you dont mind having dents and shit, its purely cosmetic if he says its structually sound

...It won’t affect the strength of the frame but it is quite obvious... hence £85.

okay, okay, pretty please could I get an opinion

1. If Hilary says its ok, then there's a good chance it will be.

2. It doesn't look like its going to fall apart.

3. There is a danger is that if its been in an accident then there may be other weaknesses you can't see.

4. If the frame fails as a result of the dent, and you suffer loss or damage, then there is a strong chance you will be able to be compensated for your loss.*

• as Hilary prob knows this and sells lots of stuff here and on ebay, he's not likely to risk it for £85.

If Hilary is saying its OK to ride then I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.

Love that Sibbet too!

Is the sibbit still for sale -? & is it the original paint job??

Thanks a million all!

Will have to go have a look down the back of the couches

HIlary I have PM'd you re both the touring frames.

Cheers.

i can't pm...
but i'll take the VIKING 1970s frame if no ones had it.

pm'd about this now

jack sibbit - the mistery of finding a new headset for it......

The headset is fine and these generally last extremely well - I do have spare races and can supply if anybody needs some - but I don't think I have the top piece (which is called the headclip) but they do turn up fairly frequently. This one I think is BSA and was the best you could get in the 1930s...
