For Sale: 2007 custom built track bike (orig 1988)

Posted on
  • Hello forum..

    i am selling my fixed gear bike. i have had 3 solid years riding this beauty everyday.
    italian steel reynolds 531c track standard frame and forks originally built in 1988. i had the frame and forks sandblasted by condor and checked structurally. the bottom bracket casing had been replaced more recently, the lugged joints and tubing are all true, no collisions or dents. Resprayed non standard colour 'cream' and lacquered. Some scratches, marks, small chips nothing major.

    the frame measurements are:-

    seat tube 59cm
    top tube 57cm
    step over height top tube 87cm
    wheelbase 96cm

    would suit 5'10 - 6'0" height.

    the frame is more compact than road bike geometry, and there is an overlap of front wheel pedal clips by 50mm..

    miche competition track chainset 48/144 (cranks 17cm)
    milled aluminium seat post
    brooks (honey) B17 saddle (copper edition)
    condor 1" headset
    cinelli stem 14cm
    cinelli criterium handbars 42cm
    front brake shimano 105
    goldfinger diatech RH brake lever
    rear wheel velocity wheel fixed hub, 17 sprocket bolt fixed
    front wheel mavic MA2 c/w quick release skewer
    chain pearl izumi track standard.
    tyres vittoria randonneur
    pedals MDK quill trad
    MDK steel clips
    brooks toe straps
    brooks handlebar tape

    the bike is datatag (chipped), so new owner will receive details from security company.

    please note that nothing has changed in 3 years, except tyres and brake blocks.. this is a solid built ride and very comfortable, pictures available on my profile. serious offers only please. PM me for viewing.. not willing to split

    it's going to be strange not riding her everyday, but i prefer to pass her on to a good owner that can enjoy very low maintenance cycling around town, before she needs a make over..

    cheers Al

  • how much were you looking for?

  • PM me an offer.. cheers

  • @sid - not sure what its worth really probably spent £300 getting it on the road three years ago...

  • do you have pictures?
    they'll help. but £300 isn't a bad price to be asking.

    look at my profile pictures.. they are listed there..

    i picked up the frame,forks, stem, bars from a birmingham collector for nothing in summer 2007, the frame was a mess, hence why i stripped it to check its condition, i believe it was originally by Youngs Grandini..i enjoyed building it.. and on the road by jan 2008..
