umm preemptive dips?

is the rear derailleur horizontal mounting / will it be convertible to a ss or fixie? x

dibs* sorry x

It's not horizontal. You could use a chain tensioner tho?

hmm, i think that might me un necessary tech / breaky bits for a new kid on the block as I...

forgive me if i'm incorrect btw x

If you want to singlespeed it you can buy something like this

Fixed is not possible.

I don't think I am going to buy this, I'm sorry, but if you ever find a frame / bike with horizontal derailers I might take it off your hands. Thanks xx

£70 ?

I have a replacement rear wheel. Alesa black rim on a Shimano hub in new condition with a 6 speed cassette. I'll throw it in for what I just paid HilaryStone for it: £35.

dibs?

hi

i bought this bike but never did anything with it in the end as i put some hub gears on my other bike. so if anyone wants it I can put up some better pics. I have made the following changes - got a brand new big chainring, i got the wheel sacredheart mentions upthread too from hilary stone. i also got some new bartape and brake levers to go with it which are not fitted but would be included.

So, as above. - it's a beautiful colour and the frame is sound
4130 wine coloured frame.

Top Tube 56.5cm C-C
Seat Tube 51cm C-C

THE GOOD:
Frame is straight, no dents or rust.
Ultegra brakes in good nick!
Armadillo tyres on front in good condition.
Shimano gears incl 600 rear derailler.
sound rear wheel with brand new michlen tyre - alesi rim. shimano hub
brakes seem pretty bombproof - ultegra

THE BAD/UGLY:
Front wheel has buckle. (this has been semi fixed and ridden around a bit but could probs do with a look at)
Needs new bar tape. (included but not put on)
Needs a general tune up.
Got some cheapo pedals on
Got a white leather triathalon seat which looks pretty wicked but it medium way through its life.

rear mech fully indexed and working but front one not working - wire from gear lever has never been properly fixed into the front mech (but this shouldn't be a big job right?)

140£, just looking to get back what i've paid, be a wicked project if you are so inclined - just needs a bit of tlc and. hackney evenings/weekends
thanks

i think if i have no joy i'm going to nick the brakes and saddle for my other bike as it needs them and then sell the rest in bits maybe...
