For Sale: Grasstrack frame, lo pro, carbon rims, loose ball bb's and more

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

All items are available for collection from either sw1 or sw16 and postage is a possibility (as long as you dont live in Aruba or somewhere equally obscure.)

you notice it's bmx specific yup?

yah, undubs :)

you could fill your head tube in, which would probably not be worth it.

Damn you Hobo!!!!!

Haha, no problem buddy.

Not sure this is the case, as the cups are too big for a standard 1 inch frame....

how much too big?

Just too big mate, i wouldn't want to try and take any depth off the side of the cups...
It's probably on a couple of mm, but I think you should just except that the head set isn't designed for a road/track frame

any chance of seeing some pics of the joe waugh built up, relative geometries? is it for 650 front?

Man, I'da loved that jet, thirds I guess.

I like the look of the fort. If this has track dropouts and a drilled brake please can i have dibs?

yes to both. he offered it to me a few months ago when i was looking for a lo pro

seconds, or whatever on the fort

Some seriously nice bikes and parts man.
Oh, being a poor student...

Provisional dibs on the Edco and Tange headsets and second dibs on the Record headset if that falls through.
What's the crown race diameter on those sets please, ISO, JIS, Italian???
Cheers.

And re: the Chris King headset, as forms said there is no chance of fitting it to a road frame, road cup diameter is 30.1mm vs BMX 32.7mm...

drill a mil out of the inside of the headtube and bash the fucker in, would be perfect for my beater, not sure its worth going through all the trouble tho.
