Few things for sale:

John Atkins track/path frame, 1950s?
55cm top tube c-c , 57cm seat tube c-t, 120mm rear o.l.d

Bought over summer from balki. Havent had the time or money to build it up properly, so it must go.
Paint has chips and spots of rust; nothing serious though. it could be easily resprayed, but i recon that would be a crime, i think it looks good as is.
Comes with period Stronglight 'competition' headset, which has been cleaned and re-packed with fresh bearings and grease. still very usable, there doesnt seem to be any notches.

would like £130 (what i paid) and will throw in an almost new seatpost for it (26.4mm)

Seat clamp was a little over-tightened when i got it, spread it out and lightly filed the inside of the seattube back to what it should be.

700c chrome fork, threaded
15cm of steerer, last 2cm of which is threaded

£15

Brakeset (front and rear)
Off of a Specialized Langster
Bought them Barely used, pretty much no wear to the brake pads, i've not had a use fro them since buying.
unbranded calipers and specialized cross-top levers (look the same as a bunch of other cross-top levers, just branded differently). setup with cables, ready to go.

£25 for the pair

Collection for all items in Waterloo
Maybe willing to meet with smaller bits in central/soho/clerkenwell if it suits the schedule
cheers!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
