This is a bit of a weird one - an old five-speed town bike with a modern track wheelset crammed in (third hand needed when taking out/putting in rear wheel to pull stays apart). It's running something like 38mm tires which are super comfy, and only a hundred miles or so old.
Crankset is off a Dawes Haarlem, fairly spinny ratio. Frame and cranks are very bendy. With old crankset there was some squirm on left pedal - changed BB/cranks and pedals and it still seems to be there. Mystery.
Frame has surface rust but is solid. Will also need some foot retention and a brake before riding on the street. Hence it's moniker, Deathtrap.
Not doing anything with it and could use the space in the garage.
£100, or offers.
