Very nice and a nice price I believe ! Power to the small people on 853 !

Several years ago Graham Weigh supplied the bikes for juniors at the Manchester Velodrome. They were built for him by his neighbour Paul Donohue and were equipped with shorter Miche cranks. I wonder if this frame is one of these?
Beautiful machine but sadly way too small for me.

On the back of this he built this for my wife which has replacement carbon forks. It has 155 Miche cranks.

This is really interesting to see the name of Paul Donohue being cited here. I do own a Paul Donohue track frame 853 which is also a small size, however the top tube has no slope, actually a slight downards slope, but the red really match the red on the picture of your wife's bike. I would be keen to know more about Mr Donohue (in PM if not related to the bike in sale) if you ever have the chance to share this with me.

Sorry for the hijack, but bump for a beauty that I would buy if I havent had this other bike already !

Pm'd as I don't want to hijack sale thread. Maybe someone should start a Donohue thread

out of interest, what are the pedals shown?

Hi
The pedals are by Exustar bought from Tokyo Fixed last year for £80 if my memory serves me correctly, I like them really smooth bearing and the have lasted well.

Amazed this hasn't sold, Donohue-built bikes are fantastic to ride and he was one of the best builders of welded/brazed frames of the day. He built test bikes for Reynolds when they developed new tubing, as well as team bikes. Would have bought it on the spot if it was my size.

bike is heading to ebay this weekend, i am amazed it has been snapped up already don't forget the track season is just getting underway. regards
