Here for sale is my recently built raleigh fixed gear bike. It is based on an old raleigh race bike of unknown name (it has no identifying marks other than the raleigh decals). The original rear chrome rim 27" wheel is laced onto a new on-one large flange track hub and runs straight and true (to about a mm or 2) and the front wheel (27") is original (spins for hours and is so smooth and true!). The tyres are as new. The chain is all good and works well on the 46t chainset and brand new 18t fixed sprocket and runs smoothly. The rear hub also has another lockring included on the other side of the hub.
the frame itself is very solid with only minor scratching here and there as you can see in the photos. The bike is set up with just a single front brake linked to a brand new brake lever on the horizontal part of the handlebars. handlebars have brand new red bar tape that looks really good. The chrome on the rims is in reasonable condition with general very light speckling. there are some bits where it is very slightly worse and this is shown in the pics.
anywho, there it is! unfortunately i have never bought/sold a fixie before so i have no idea how much its worth! so if i could have a few suggestions as to how much i should sell it for, then i will decide on a price and it will be up for sale! Pick up from Wimbledon/Southfields (SW19), near the tennis or possibly somewhere in london by prior arrangement. Viewing is also available.
Now on sale for £130! SOLD!
