For Sale: Viking 55cm track frame & forks

Posted on
  • SOLD....
    This is not the British Viking! It's from these guys http://vikingcycles.com/store.php
    Looks the part, rides and handles surprisingly well. Allegedly built from Reynolds 520
    I bought this as a stop gap while my other frame was repaired. It's now finished so this has to go.
    Excellent condition, only a few marks from locking etc. Strangely chromed underneath the paint (polish it if you hate orange) so no rust anywhere.
    No dings, dents or damage . I knew I'd be selling it soon so I was extra careful. The stickers and tape on the head tube &down tube are just to prevent scratches(no marks underneath)
    The forks in the majority of the pics are not for sale.
    The original forks come with it but are not perfectly straight. Cosmetically good though possibly they could be cold set..Both sets are the same length,rake and trail.
    Comes with shitty tange headset and I probably have a BB that will suit.
    To avoid confusion for anyone who hasn't looked at the link.
    It's sized as 55cm, but.....
    Seat tube c-t 57cm
    Top tube c-c 56cm
    Head tube -15cm
    Seat angle-74.5
    Head angle-74.5
    Fork rake-28mm
    BB drop-6cm
    Chainstay-40cm
    Standover-82cm

    This is for collection/meeting in London only

  • yep - nice frame as well

  • i would take it if you post.

  • i would be happy to collect the forks if you happen to split :-)

    nice frame, have always wondered how they ride...

  • i would take it if you post.

    I'll give you a shout if it doesn't go this week. I hate shipping frames, something always happens to them...

  • just pack them well and use a reliable carrier like dhl and it be fine...

  • Is 55cm referring to the length of the seat tube centre to top?
    Cheers

    If you check this- http://vikingcycles.com/store.php it'll give you the exact spec.
    They call it a 55 but the seat tube is 57cm center to top and top tube is 56cm center to center.

  • turds, would love to take this at 55 but 57s a tad too big

  • turds, would love to take this at 55 but 57s a tad too

    big

    Yes, it's weirdly sized on the Viking website, I don't know where they get the 55 from.
    I usually ride a 22" square which is near as dammit a 56cm, maybe a tad smaller? I got on fine but it's a personal thing obviously. Got a couple of people looking at it this week. It's still built up so if you want to check it out for size , feel free. I'm in east London.

  • PM me if your willing to split forks.

  • i would still take it if you post.

  • I'd take it if Opack and I could come to an agreement. He can have the forks and I'll take the frame.
    Let us know if it's still knocking about.

  • would be nice paramounted, am still up for it!

  • Couple of lads looking at it today, if it doesn't suit I'll PM you
    Cheers

  • It's been pointed out that the original forks are slightly twisted which is a pain. It may be possible to have them straightend.

  • thanks for saying it, i'm actually looking for some straight ones as i already have the problem with mine... sorry, not interested anymore then, good luck with the sale!

  • has this gone? due to the twisted forks I'd take it for £90....

  • Uk price on this is £400 new. Given the condition180 would be reasonable.
    I bought this on here for £160 in the exact condition it's in now. I'm not out to make a profit
    £150 buys the frame, the forks are included. It's what it owes me.
    Come check it out in person.

  • Apologies to all concerned.
    This is now SOLD.
    Originals buyer has decided to keep it despite the forks.
    Cheers
