SOLD.
It physically hurts me to post this, but I need to sell my beloved Orbit fixie to fund my new business set up costs.
The Good
English frame, modern classic, a beauty, Reynolds 531 with nice lugs. 54cm BB centre to centre of tt, where it joins down tube. Pretty decent condition - no dents whatsoever, and lovely and light. The old Goldtec Flip Flop hub, Ultegra at the front. No rust (other than slight surface colouring where paint is chipped). Almost new Conti Gatorskin Ultra Ks.
The Less Good
Saddle is pretty knackered, and bar tape is looking that way too. Quite a few paint chips, and one scrape - these could be touched up, if you were prepared to spend an afternoon on the bike's cosmetics. Most are on the top tube. BB is marginally wider than ideal, so I run an 8-speed chain (with no issues). To run some chains you might need a narrower BB.
The Ugly
Not a period build, and dog ugly fork.
**
Other detail**
Mavic Open rims front and back. Truvative Touro cranks. Not sure what the BB is. Tektro R555 front brake. Modern headset (M:PART A:DAPTIVE), ITM stem, aluminium bull horn bars. No drilling for rear brake. Unbranded cage pedals. 48:15/16 ratios.
Looking for £175. Based in Battersea. Tyre kickers welcome, but if you want a test ride (and I don't already know you) I will need a deposit. Once bitten, twice shy - not something that went wrong on LFGSS BTW. I am not online every day, so please PM me if interested. Will give her a good clean and tune before sale.
