What i thought was a crappily tapped frame turned out to be a crossed thread on a bb which has just gutted my bb shell. Should have known better - yup. Got the cash to pay for the repair - only if they take pocket lint...
Soooo, round two of plundering the vault to avoid raiding my childs piggy bank is on.
First up is a resprayed 531c MB Dronfield grasstrack frame which i picked upfrom the mighty roberto in a shade of shocking green that no man could love - i was going through my glitter phase and figured that a trip to Bob for a metallic black finish could only be a good thing - and my god it was...
56ctc square, slightly slacker angles than a track frame and with clearance for a 28 tyre but no toe-overlap, a few chips from crown race removal and slight wear but pretty much perfect... £230
For the smaller cyclist, a joe waugh fillet brazed 853 tt frame, 48ctt seat/53ctc top tube - i needed the forks but the rest of this is just going to waste - if i was half my size i'd love to ride it.
comes with a chorus headset which is missing the crownrace for £75.
six headsets all 1",
first - basic chorus-a-like, unbranded, loose bearing nothing special £5
second - Chris King bmx gripnut - will not fit a standard road bike as the bore diameter of the tubing is larger on a bmx - this has been tested (sorry forms) £50
third - Edco franken headset - beautiful pedigree headset, well designed but battered with a mismatched cap and washer - £5 pending sale - tis
fourth - complete Campagnolo Chorus headset, very good condition - sold to skelator
fifth - Campagnolo c record headset - could do with a polish but otherwise sweet as..SOLD to MOBIDOG
sixth - Tange record copy - certified by some racing association or other :) nicely made but battered - **£15 **
four loose bearing bb's all come with the appropriate bolts and all 109 track standard,
**first **- sugino75 superlap minor pitting to mirror finished races- sold to pistoffski
second - campag record, pitted but salvageable - £20
third - sugino75 pitted but again, a little work could save - £15
fourth - random sugino bb no bearings - £5
one pair of orange 650c deep v's 32hole - just need powdercoating to make some desirable hipster fronts - £20 the pair
one pair blue 26" mtb deep v's 36 hole - where they got the slightly wider extrusion for the chukker polo rims from - £20 the pair
black powdercoated, dmr trailblades 20mm thru axle, disc brake forks - the definition of bombproof £35
black, white industries Chub 20mm thru axle disc hub - some spoke pull on the flanges but tough as hell - - £45
black, white industries ENO, 135mm mtb spaced eccentric rear hub - absolutely brilliant idea but i never found a reason to use it - brand new - £85
tufo s3 pro tubulars in red and black - glued once used twice, minimal wear. £25 the pair
