I am selling this for a friend so I can't really answer your questions but I will try. Failing that you can email him directly at pk@pepperedsprout.com I have been an honest as I can so any queries just email him and he can send more pics over.

He is looking for sensible offers and a good home for a bike (that has done less than 100 miles since converted / painted) which can be listed here or emailed to him directly.

Here's some pics anyway:

Can I suggest that you provide a rough price? Nicely done conversion, and some nice bits on it. No doubt you would get more if you split.

(I want your wheels ;) )

Those components on a road conversion? Sheesh.

As I said it isn't my bike so I can't really say. He definitely wants to sell it but is unsure how much. If nobody makes a sensible offer here it will go on ebay I think. This isn't my friend's price but with them compnents and the condition of them (near enough brand new!) I would be thinking around the £600. Even if people think this is off the mark it might get the ball rolling.

Forgot to say it is located in Liverpool! Something may be able to be sorted though as he sometimes travels to London.

Heh, might want to ignore my forwarded offer then.

You'll only get that much if splitting... as is, I'd imagine £400 max.

Lot of wonga for a conversion IMO

Components stand up for themselves but I'd doubt this will sell for the price you/he wants or anywhere near it as the frame's a conversion.

Split and sell.

People a bit fussy here see.

that is very, very nice tho. apart from the bars, saddle and seatpost.

lovely rake on the forks.

split it if you want decent money

Cranks/Chainring/BB if splitting pls

I only said £600 to get the ball rolling...get a bit of haggling on the go! I will tell him about the splitting so people can just make offers here I suppose (full bike or parts) and I will see what he says. It is a lovely frame though and considering it is a conversion it has a nice geometry to it and feels really solid.

Keep the offers rolling in and I will give him a shout tomorrow.

Cranks/Chainring/BB if splitting pls

Dibs on wheels if he splits

He may be up for splitting if nobody wants to buy (and even split themselves) so just send offers for everything here or to his email preferably.

cheers

Weird to see this bike on here. This was a bike I put together a while back and sold on eBay. Just to add some details, the spray job was done by Bob Jackson, the wheels built by Parker International, it did have Nitto NJS drops on when I sold it which looked better IMHO.

Those components on a road conversion? Sheesh.

Since when conversion are worse than track frame?

Read the rules, give a price.

Since when conversion are worse than track frame?

Conversions are not worse than track frames, but why pay over-the-odds for a super stiff track drivetrain (for example), when a stiffer frame (or one designed for putting the power down) would be a more worthwhile upgrade?

Didn't read about the rules...sorry about that. I will get him to give me some prices and will put them up. For full bike and split.

No rule says a price must be asked, I think.

Price is 'Advisory' not mandatory.

That knock off that bike lad?

Jackson fucking Pollard!

Just putting a final price for the complete bike now before it goes on ebay. The price my mate is after is £400 complete. It can be picked up from Liverpool or posted at the buyers expense.
