• It's time to sell my beater - a big old beast but has seen me through a few years including doing the London to Brighton so it must be pretty solid.

    Based around a Falcon Frame of no discernible vintage but plenty of chips to the paint! Suits someone over 6ft - I am 6'3" and can just stand over the top tube.
    Top tube c-c: 58cm. Seat tube c-c: 62cm. Seat tube c-t: 63cm.

    It needs a couple of things: Tyres are usable but only just. Break lever needs to be better fitted as it's a bit loose. Headset loosens quite easily. A new chain might be a good idea.

    But the whole thing is yours for a measly £65! If I was keeping it I would swap the frame for a different one and have something pretty decent as a pub bike etc!

    The components as listed below. Alternatively with enough offers I'll break it up and sell as parts - prices listed below.

    • SR 110mm stem (good condition): £5
    • Old school MX brake lever (bit battered but cool) and tektro side pull brake (good condition): £10
    • 165mm silstar cranks (good condition with a few knocks/scratches): £5
    • Sakae 42t chainring and spider (good condition, plenty of life left): £10
    • Kyokoto pedals with Brooks toe cages and generic straps (good spinning condition, plenty of knocks and scrapes): £15
    • Milreno saddle and seatpost (well used!): £5
    • 26" wheels with Maillard hubs (good condition running true, with pretty knackered tyres and OK tubes): £25

    But remember all this could be yours for only £65. Yes, £65!!

    Collection from SE15 or you might tempt me to bring it into town to meet up...
    :)
