For Sale: Bike - Brother frame, Hplus wheels, Brooks saddle etc.

Right.

Originally built at Tokyo Fixed at the end of 2010 - Had zero use out of this, looking to swap it for something else, just like on that Noel Edmonds show from the 80s. (Not the one where the guy died in a box attached to a crane)

...Or will sell for 500GBP

BROTHER frame - pretty much as new, couple of very light storage marks on the top tube, otherwise it's very shiny and very black (Frame size to follow think it's a 56cm... It is! It's 56cm to TT)

HPlusSon rims (front is machined and is on a Token and back is on a Gran Compe, never braked on) - pretty much as new
Miche Advanced crankset - again, pretty much as new
Beater peddles (MKS)
Raceface Deus seatpost (awesome)
Brooks saddle
SR bars and stem
Oury grips
Goldfinger / Dia Compe brake

Price: SWAP!!!

This hasn't been ridden in close to a year, when it was it was only a dozen or so times. Never really got on with the frame.

I'm looking for another bike, something less shiny:

Pimped up Fuji Track 2008 or 9
Pimped down Mash
Steamroller
Interesting rat bike.

Can get on with anything from a 56cm to a 59.

Am willing to add cash to bike if need be or vice versa.

Any questions please let me know.

Cheers.

Doesn't look like the picture uploading god is with me so...

(Looks a hell of a lot nicer in the flesh... Bigger too)

Pics don't work fella

no price, no size.

No, no nothing. Apologies. Buckaroo, can you let me know if the link works? Had no luck at all attaching Jpegs.

Cheers.

Splitting bike apart?
-Interested in parts :)

link working.

Cheers Fly.
No splitting at the moment, thought about it but just want to keep it simple - Old bike for new bike.

Itll probably do better if it were to be split and sold...

That's one beautiful wheelset! drools

@nighthunte29 - No doubt. It's a time issue as much as anything. The beautiful world of bikes has had to go very much on the back burner of late due to work and family commitments, hence looking for an easy swap.

How much for the frame and crankset (if you do decide to split....)

dibs wheelset if you decide to split

Hey mate. If by any chance you decide to split I'll take risers with lever.
Cheers

Thanks. Will let you know if I do but am going to let this ride for a few days to see if anybody has anything to trade.

You already have dibs on

frame
crankset
wheelset
risers

that should be enough cash to buy a decent bike on here! i.e. http://www.lfgss.com/thread80855.html#post2736697

anyway good luck and I pmd you so let me know what happens

would take frame pending price

The vultures have descended!....But apolloxl is right and won't take long to strip.....and if you make collection only....should be easy.

was gonna offer you a PX on my retro 531 rattish but kind of awesome bike but then came to my senses because it is cool and functional and I cannot be arsed posting bikes atm!

BUMP anyway...just out of interest, what would you be looking for a straight sale?

Nice ride. You sellin'? How big's that bad boy? Looks about 58..?

Nice ride. You sellin'? How big's that bad boy? Looks about 58..?

yeah it's a 58..I miiiight be tempted for a swap with this guy, and would obviously be PXing with cash my side, just wasn't sure how much would do it..why I asked what he valued his brother@.
cheers though!

@Marxist_fixie - It is a bit like that one time I was in Death Valley. Am considering a split but want to hold over the weekend to see if any interesting trades come out of proverbial woodwork.

@meds - Nice looking bike that. Straight sale I haven't really considered but I imagine it would go something like this:

Me: Bike - 600

**Insert Name Here: **You might get that on Ebay, but not here, have you seen what you can get for 600 on LFGSS?

Me: Price-drop - 580

Insert Name Here: You might just about get that if you split it.

Insert Numerous Names Here: Dibs crank etc...

Me: Price-drop, 560

Insert Name Here: Seriously one time I saw a Bob Jackson with Phils, a Sugino 75 and Chris King headset go for 550... And it had been ridden by David Bowie on his Serious Moonlight tour.

Me: Price-drop - 500

SOLD to Gearsnake86 (It's not really sold to Gearsnake86 this is not real)

So to cut out the flim-flamming, if I were to sell it the asking price would be 500. (approx 49% of what I paid for it excluding build cost)

Thanks and apologies for the wholly unnecessary role playing.

role play did make me chuckle a bit :-)
just finding it hard to value mine...anyone chirp in w/suggestions??
531 80s british eagle frame resprayed terribly but chrome fork is nice
new pegasus rims onto quando hubs (have some nice new gold miche hubs you could build these onto to look sweeet!)
sugino chainset/DA cog/token pedals
very random headset
nice turbomatic saddle in good condition

YesNoGame thats cool.
out of interest, how would you break that down if you were splitting?
