  • Re-listing this frame and forks due to the last sale falling through.

    TT frame was made for British ex-olympic bronze and commonwealth gold cyclist. I have a few more details about the frame, its Terry Dolan pista frame using Reynolds 853 steel, this is essentially the same bike used to set the one hour record back in 95. Measurements are:

    Seat-tube centre-to-centre 50cm (due to extended seat tube – see pictures)
    Seat-tube centre-to-top 57cm
    Top-tube centre-to-centre 60cm
    Head-tube is 10cm
    27.0 seatpost, bottom bracket is English.

    If it helps im 5’11 and it fit with a 70mm reach stem but would ideally suit taller, as you can see from the pictures and sizes it has a longer top tube than seat tube and is designed for an extended seat post for time trialing, so in actual fact should be sized as 59 or 60cm

    Its designed with no bridge for a brake so looks mad from the back but is still solid as a rock. The frame is in great shape there are no dinks and dents but the white paintwork is chipped with scratches, it could definitely benefit from a respray but in the meantime it still looks fine but well used - but structurally sound.

    Fork is corrado custom, columbus steel drilled, not original but are of similar pedigree (thread could be cut easily for aesthetics). The decals have been removed from the down tube and some of the cyclists name from the top tube. It belonged to Yvonne McGregor MBE who won commonwealth gold back in 1994 and Olympic bronze in 2000.

    Asking less than I paid 6 months ago, including in this price is a new (50miles old) Miche BB and a Cane Creek headset, used but good, got to go as too many projects...

    Priced to sell £180

    Dibs followed by pm, East London – can post but prefer not.

  • No more interest?? This is priced right isnt it? Im concerned as I paid £200 for it a while ago, its in the same condition and dont want to make more of a loss

  • Free bump - cos 853 is so nice

  • £200 is a fair price, but many cyclists have bought their frame for the summer

  • Possible interest for a mate, I'll let you know as soon as he gets back to me

  • This is a pretty sweet deal, love the lack of rear bridge. Bet it will look awesome when the wheel is fitted!

  • yeah im sure somebody will come along soon and snap it up.

  • If only my arms and top half were as long as my legs...lovely kit at a fair price and wrthy of a bump!
