In all seriousness I'm just not sure what to ask. So feel free to pm sensible offers.
It is actually great fun, and a really good bike. I'm still debating over selling the wheelset hense the split. Overall I'd like to keep it, but a while back I set myself a 3 bike limit, so this has to go at some point.
I've also still got bits on here and prolly should sell my first baby blue fixie frame so if anyones' interested in that give me a shout.

Whoa, overpriced at 200 matey dont be silly, you can buy the same bike with wheels for 120 in my head
-
I dig it. That bike has character - loving the huge front-light.

...you can buy the same bike with wheels for 120 in my head
Had to laugh at that, just because I've been at work too long and I'm just trying to work out what that means and just going round in circles :s
It mos def does have character ;) I was running it with a coaster brake, and coupled with the sprung sofa-like brooks and 28c it was the perfect knockabout bike. Got to say dynamo hubs are great for pub bikes. Shimano ones always pop-up on the bay for ~£20. Shame i never got round to putting the rear light on :(

*pulls pants back on
well i think that it would be a better deal with some wheels included. Seriously though, why cant i take a joke?
-
Ok - I'll think about putting the wheels on (decision to be made by Sat). But then I will actually want some real money for it.
Just as info the wheelset is:
front: open pro 36h laced crows foot to a shimano 3v (I think) dynamo hub, DB ACI spokes
Rear: DRC st18 36h to bixfix coaster, 3x DB ACI spokes -
Well not the whole bike...
- 1950s (?) Dawes Frame (55cm I think, but with an old school ridonkulos tt length)
- Seatpost
- Saddle
- stem
- crankset + peddals
- probably the bars and brake lever
- probably not the long drop brake
The Good:
Almost new smooth shimano BB
Almost new TA 1/8 chainring
Clearances to rock massive tyres and mudgaurds
120mm rear spacing
Sturdy frame, looks beaten, lovely patina, gives that brilliant stiff yet supple compliant direct energy transfer that only a steel frame with lazy geo can giveThe Bad:
The headset is shit, but its been regreased and tbh how much to you care?In summary once you've got wheels on it its an amazing bike. A joy to ride, probably the most perfect balance of function and form that has ever been.
Based on todays
inflatedprices offers starting around £200.Pitiful; sorry.

oh, sorry, found it.. http://static.lfgss.com/attachments/30788d1284487928-dsc_1308.jpg
from bike porn, i understand.. tut-tut
plus, You`ve been on the forum for 6 days and you are going all out on being a dickhead.. Why?
-
show us yours then, if that is so"pitiful" as you say..
Why would I do that?
To explain: the frame is in tatters and not something special, the components are nothing special either but some might be worth something to someone, the bike as a whole looks disjointed and therefore "pitiful".
As a shopping bike (plus mudguards and luggage rack, preferably with shopping basket) it has a purpose. Bikes like these get abandoned and stolen every day around here.
Sorry.
