I'm looking to get a decent fixed gear bike with 700c wheels and drops! Baically we have a tiny flat and i have no space for another bike (never mind bits of another bike lying around, getting grease on cushions and chipping mirrors whilst i build something up). I also can't be without a bike so rather than putting this on the bay, or advertising it for sale i thought i'd see if anyone has anything for swap?
The frame was built by Terry Dolan and raced by Rob Hayles. It's made of Reynolds 753, lugged at the BB shell and smooth everywhere else, like fillet brazing. Re-enforced at the head tube and seat tube with a curved seat tube allowing for super tight clearence for the rear wheel. The frame is in the original paint with the original decals. There are quite a few small chips in the paint, but no dents or dings what so ever. The frame is super light and the whole bike weighs just 17.6lbs.
The bike also has reynolds 653 forks in chrome, tange headset, nitto stem, nitto riser cut down to 38cm, titanium flight saddle (no rips but it is scuffed as hell) and truvativ omnium cranks. The ratio is 48-18.
Front wheel is 650c H+ and the rear is a mavic cxp33 on miche primato hubs. The tyres are both Vittoria (rubino 23c front and zaffiro 20c rear)
Im 6ft and the bike fits me perfectly, if youre much shorter it might be a bit of a stretch as theres not much movement down with the seat post. But for me it's a pretty comfy ride and super sharp.
I'm looking to change for something i can do some miles on, ideally brakeless with 700c wheels and drops. If you have anything like that, and are interested in the bike then please pm,
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
