Received my rather lovely V-Sprint bike today, I must say I'm very pleased with it.
Several chap where I work are very much into their road cycling & when I told them the prices of the frame/bike they were gobsmacked, all agreed it was unbelivable value.
James was also very, very helpfull answering many daft questions & made the buying of my fisrt fixie a pain free experiance.
Cannot reccomend highly enough, and when the time comes for me to purchase another bike he'll be my first port of call, in fact I'm seriously considering buying the black one to keep for track only use.

What is included in the £130 built up price?
And are they drilled for brakes? -
• #30
I belive James has frame/fork/headset for £130. The fork is drill for a brake.
I bought a built up bike, with carbon forks, carbon wrapped bars, crank, BB, seta post, saddle etc, just needs tyre & chain.
I have a nice carbon seatpost waiting at home for it & have lucking in somewhat to a super cheap stem from the same manufacturer as the bars.

I'm sorely tempted, just to have a bespoke track bike. But I must be strong & resist.
Where dod the bars come from? I'm going to keep a spare set of bars without brake on so I can just swap bars when I remove the caliper.

That geo looks super slack for track duties...

It looks super slack for anything really, and is it just me or did you spend a lot of money on carbon on a beater?

1" headtube on a modern alloy track frame seems a bit strange, no?
same as on Fort frames

Looks 1 1/8" integrated to me...

How is that strange? Different from what you see a lot these days, yeah, but strange? Not really..

I agree, the ally Condor I have has a 1" steerer. I think that frame looks okay as a cheap base for a winter hack.
Some folk just love to have a dig though and especially on here which has to be the whiniest, pass-remarkable For Sale section on any forum I've been on. -

Yeah steel frame + grit = nightmare!

No probs Mark.....Good job im not charging for my advice eh!!
