  • still riding high on my wheelset thread i'm pushing my luck and going for a second sale in six months, i'll try and keep it brief this time...

    Custom built 56 square reynolds 853 track frame, built by andy thomson ex of islabikes. Absolutely as stiff as a very stiff thing and light enough to make people who've just spend serious money on carbon begin to doubt themselves. I love this frame but have to accept that i cant do it justice... **£250 chris king not included

    1.bodieanddoyle,2.pistoffski and 3.harrymajor - [B]SOLD. to the most relaxed forumenger in the world, probably. good to meet you B&D **
    [/B]

    next up, the beaters beater, a converted scott mtb frame, 4130 tubing that has lived a full and wholesome life(a good few dents), chainstay and seatstay bridge filed-out to accomodate 700cx35, no paint, surly drops. Not so much bomb-proof as bombed out and begging for more...

    seatpost included as the diameter is less than regular, plus its a natty purple black fade effect - £40

    1.spotter 2.nuknow 3. porter7474 - spotter appears to have gone off the radar- one pm and then its nuknows

    And this is the final time i put this one up before ebay, THE most beautiful black metallic paint job, 531c tubing, windowed lugs and trackends, grasstrack clearances for up to 32s....



    **£210 **or near offer - dont make me put this on the bay....

    **SOLD to catfood - dont drill that fork man..... :) **

    The usual rules apply, no dibs, postage only if you are able to tolerate a postage schedule that could span weeks (christ knows how i made it into the good traders thread...) and pickup with cash from sw1 or sw16 means you will be eternally blessed and possibly bumped to the front of the queue.

    The forum will get a percentage of all sales(and i owe vb for the last one so that percentage will be as generous as possible once rent is sorted)

    ah and scottnotarchie... gets a £50 discount on all future sales for saving my back on the dynamo... massive, massive thanks.

  • whats the size of the beater's beater?

  • the top frame is fantastic!

  • Love the first frame! Can I have a look prior to purchase?

  • That 853 is a thing of beauty-I'd have it off you in a second if it was only a 58cm

  • PM'd about the beater, and the person who gets that 853 will be a lucky man indeed!

  • @soperiva - 56x44 with a sloping mtb geo so the long seatpost is less of an issue than the mercian - which incidentally looked so good after the respray i almost miss the little mutant..

    @thecrane - if only you were a couple of feet shorter - why couldnt you have sold the burls a few months later when i was flush....

    @bodieanddoyle - of course, sw1 or sw16 take your pick give me a pm and we can discuss details

    @petrocks - track frames are meant to be smaller:) thats what i keep telling myself every time i get into another spine crunching position on a pretty frame...

  • I hate you!

    (sorry)

    That 853 frame is so nice!

    cries looking at bank balance

  • what size is that grasstrack frame? I can't see any mention of the size.

  • I'm guessing 58...

  • 2nd dibs on the scott mtb.
    pmed

  • ah, the grasstrack is 56 square ed, i'm not sure how it would look with a porteur rack though...

  • are there mudguard eyes on the grass track?

    don't think so, but dibs if there are!

  • wow! that 1st frame is stunning and a bargain too

  • Why aren't you selling the 853 when i have money!

  • Hi socialamnesia, nice frames ... re: Grass track: any ideas who made it? Any stamps? You got any closeups of the ends?

  • Absolutely as stiff as a very stiff thing

    niice.

    beautiful frame

  • Hi socialamnesia, nice frames ... re: Grass track: any ideas who made it? Any stamps? You got any closeups of the ends?
