• UPDATE - still looking for the frame and there are extra bits added below...

    Inspired by the Frankenbikes thread and a good vintage track wheelset Skully just built up for me, I fancy building up a battle-worn frame. This Jan de Reus would have been a pretty good bet except that it really wants 27-inch wheels and mine are 700s...

    Also, to save on multiple threads, I'm also looking for:

    • fixed or singlespeed Maillard high flange rear hub
    • stem and bar combo - anything pista-like to suit a 70s/80s Peugeot track build
    • a nice pair of vintage hubs/wheelset to suit a geared build with a Shimano Arabesque group (five-speed block)
    • and maybe a nice beaten up Brooks...

    Thanks all.

  • An update and a little bump.

  • I have a blacK Itm stem and narrow steel drops or a silver quite steep attax track stem,
    the black stem is a fiver, drops a fiver, other stem free,
    cheers

  • Sounds good - will send a PM. Thanks

  • ok, cheers

  • depending what you are going for and what size, chowdown has a couple of beatup but nice frames (around 60-62cm) sitting around that I know of....might suit? PM him for pics.

  • Excellent tip, thanks Canaidan.

  • be careful with french bits. it can turn into quiet an addiction. ;)

  • ratracer - I take it you no longer want my frame - sorry if you've left a voicemail it's not working at the moment - sent you a text, no reply. I'll offer it to the next guy if I don't hear otherwise v soon. Thanks

  • Hey mate, yes still want it if that's ok - it's for a different build - I texted you this morning at 10.30. Will PM.

  • be careful with french bits. it can turn into quiet an addiction. ;)

    Too late for me I think...

  • Just PM'ed you with lots of details... hope it is helpful!

    Thanks, will take a look.

  • are you still after french bits? i have a long (120mm?) no-name stem and a nice new sealed bearing velo orange bb (109mm?) if that helps.

    maybe it's time for a clearout.

  • here's a couple of (quite shit) photos of that stem i mentioned ages ago.

    sorry, totally forgot to do this earlier!

  • Oh, i also have a brooks B17 for sale...
