Any interest in El Sid?
I was told that this is a Sid Mottram track frame dating from the 70s, built for a track cyclist from Leicester area. I would be selling frame, forks, nearly new Tange headset and seatpost. Ratty but good shape. 3 tiny dings at the bottom of the seat tube/chain stay. Light and skinny tubing believed to be 531. Seat cluster has seen some action and has been pinched out of shape, but I've got it back into shape. I had trouble fitting a seat post when I bought it but all seems to be OK now.
Lovely rat frame! Measures approx 53.5cm TT, centre to centre. ST is approx 51cm centre to top. I love the duck-egg blue, which is original paint that I found under a terrible rattle can silver spray job.
El Sid built up:
I'm not overly sure about posting this. I need to source a box etc... I guess I'm more gauging interest right now. Obviously I can take proper photos but here are some of when I got it/built it up.
Any interest? I'm thinking around the £140 area including post...
