^ this is the store that sold someone on here a Eddy Merckx frame with a head-on collision bulge on the down tube. look for "Big Bird" thread in current projects, oh and no, don't buy from them

^I tried to take a dent out of my car boot with liquid CO2 (Plumbers pipe freezing spray) not a success Unfortunately
Theory is that the metal contracts and dent pops out. If there's been plastic deformation of the metal it may pop out when cold, but will go back again as it reaches ambient temperature.
Worth a punt though for the price of a can of pipe freeze.
The traditional fix is brass (brazing rod) melted into the dent and filed/sanded back.

Dent aside, an ok buy? Reynolds 531, shimano 105...

Win?

What are people's thoughts on the dent in the frame? I've read (on here and elsewhere I think) that you can get dents out of steel frames with something cold like a can of compressed air turned upside down...

Doesn't look hideous. Overall, probably a good buy.

There is a specific tool which looks a bit like a clamp for holding tubes which is used to press out dents. Since it's 531 ST, it should be quite strong anyway.

My size as well....

Looks like his earlier auction fell through (final bid $2,199)

Probably around the £150 mark.

If you are on a budget, you should definitely go for this excellent value for money groupset:

£1,600 BIN!

If you win the auction, I'm happy for you to see it before you pay for it, but require a £200 PayPal non-refundable deposit from the winning bidder.

very nice, but he may be day dreaming a bit.

although will go for 100+ (which would still be a bargain)

oh and it won't 'make an amazing fixie!' and it won't fit someone '5ft10'

I've asked them several times to get back to me and I'm still awaiting a response. they are jokers. Ebay resolution centre awaits

Fuji Track Pro - good deal? £171 (reserve not met) 4 hours to go.

badly listed or hooky?

why is the seat pointing down? Me thinks its stolen.

would the seller risk it not selling by putting on a reserve?

only 2 other items sold by them. a bianchi pista and a bike frame.
looks suspicious.

"Comes with documents" makes it sound more legit, and everything he's sold/selling is bike parts, plus reserve, plus I've seen far more horrific saddle angles on hipster sleds. Give him the benefit of the doubt, he does have really bad spelling in the listing but that's about it. Based in London too so you could go collect in person and if it feels sketchy then walk away from it

and anyway, not everyone with brakeless tarck sleds is on lfgss.

What person would be riding a brakless fuji track pro with clipless pedals, yet not know how to setup their saddle? there is also no mention of the non standard parts (cranks, pedals etc).

The document thing could be a blatant lie.

i have documents. NOS. Can print you nice degree certificate? Free Fuji Track with every purchase.

Anyone?

Is that a Cinelli bus in the background of that Fuji?
