For Sale: John Atkins track, chrome fork, brakeset

Posted on
  • 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 - NOT FOR SALE - TURNS OUT ITS UNUSABLE DO TO PREVIOUS OWNER MODIFYING IT
    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

    Dibs + PMs as usual
    Collection for all items in Waterloo
    Maybe willing to meet with smaller bits in central/soho/clerkenwell if it suits the schedule

  • don't suppose you have any snaps of the frame with wheels to show the geometry?

  • dibs chrome forks

  • frame was made for 27inchers, being that old. would look best with mudguards if using 700cs.

    edmund2007 has first dibs on frame, If that falls through I can try and find a pair of wheels and take a pic tonight.
