For Sale: Ultra rare Pre-war Baines Gate Stayer (Track)

FUUUU I craved that bike so hard when it was on the bay.

I feel sorry for the poor old man he mugged and robbed the bike off.

aah the ebay auction from last may ... also remember seeing it back then and being dissapointed that he took it off ebay.
Still a nice frame in my opinion.

Which one?

The first one on the list if the Audi forum guy is the same toe rag, they mention Stoke as a location once.

what an utter humorless cleft, jeez i thought i was a cnut but Farting Marks take the Biccys and the tea. un-ban him so we can play with his mind please.

For comparison. Here is a 30's Stayer frame. Note the long headtube. Yours is very short.
The font fork dropouts on this Stayer are rear facing in line with the reversed forks. Your fork dropouts are forward facing. As would be evident on a reversed road fork. Note also on this Stayer the pre war Chater rear dropouts. Very slight.
I would be genuinely interested to see pictures of your bike's geometry as a built machine.

Definitely NOT a Baines and NOT a Stayer... you were spot on old chap! .... and he tells YOU to shut the fuck up!!! More of a garden gate than a flying gate.

Here's a hipster Stayer, just posted on the Fishy Looking Bikes thread:

To put peoples minds at ease I purchased this particular Baines (only one built) whilst at Sheffield uni during the late 70's from track ace Danny Childs. I can vouch for it originally being used as a Steyer as I had period pic's plus a couple of news articles featuring this very machine. I made it more user friendly by reversing the forks, fitting equal size alloy rims plus adding a front brake for road use. I understand that Trevor jarvis later modelled his Tony orme steyer on this early Baines example. Approx' ten years later I sold it to a keen collector by the name of Roy barrat, dunno the bike's history after that?

Seems like Rusty mudguard his pissed on all our bonfires after all!

Jesus Christ

still for sellz?

Let's have a look at the pictures and the news articles then.

Heh, banned Martyn's alias.

Shame, totally bought it.

Wow, this thread is the gift that keeps giving.

Oh, and there's a world of fucking difference between used as a stayer and built as a stayer.

I saw a pic of a woman pleasuring herself with a cucumber.

It didn't suddenly make it a cock.

can we find out where he lives and rescue the bike

The number of this post is the answer.

damn damn damn damn damn.

I warned you about being funny when I can't give you rep Mr Lucifer... :)

We know where he lives from the times that he's got abusive during eBay transactions.

Irony eh? You make a threat which is empty, other party actually can find out where you live.

Wasn't he trying to sell track irony?

Here is the stayer built by Trevor Jarvis in 1991 'modelled' on 'rusty highwheeler's" machine... http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/bikes/gate-stayer-rb.html This, correctly, has a top tube parallel to the ground so clearly NOT modelled on the lo-pro 'Baines'. The big collector of Stayer's is a man called Bill Corbett in the States. He thinks rustyhighwheeler's bike is a fake (as quoted by another forum member above) http://vintagetrackbikes-corbettclassics.blogspot.com/ It's worth looking at his blog... some nice stuff on there....

from rare pre war stayer to early flying gate lo pro to polo bike in a week

do you reckon he buys so much stuff on ebay as his picture is up behind the till in all his local shops

"do not serve this man"
