• Dawes Chevron, 23cm top tube, 23cm seat tube

    • Donor bike was sand blasted and sprayed with Plastikote Metal Protekt.
    • Signs of rust where the paint has chipped away
    • BB and Cransket are from Charlie the Bikemonger (NoLogo) 48t
    • Chain is SRAM PC 7X Nickel Singlespeed Chain from Chainreaction
    • Wheels and tyres are from a brand new Mongoose Maurice
    • Freewheel is 16T, Fixed is 15T (again from Maurice)
    • Brake and lever is from my local bike shop (standard brake size doesn't fit with 700c wheels)
    • Headset is from aforementioned bike shop
    • Seat is the original 1970's Dawes seat (mmm, comfy)

    For sale without pedals, and I'll fix the flat tyre in the pics. My first fixie project (thank you sheldon brown), but the thing was too small for me so I thought I'd give it a bash selling complete.

    Bike is in Twickenham, I'm after £200 for it.

    Cheers!

    ...the thing was too small for me...

    Admittedly I don't know how tall the seller is, but still its not altogether surprising that is a bit small...

  • He must mean inches...

    23cm would be below the top of the wheel.

  • is there two orange spokes in each wheel?

  • Oops, yes it's inches. Maybe I should replace my fisherprice tape measure.

    and yes, there are 2 orange spokes in each wheel. it helps you find the valve...

  • Hahaha, brilliant. I always have trouble finding my valves, the buggers.
