If you're gonna look to sell bikes through the forum like this, I think a donation would be nice, the Olmo is really nice and if I was in the market for such a thing would be right on it.

dibs on the Sigma track frame please - will PM you.

This is the plan, please bear with us as we have not received any payments yet (and we have given a few things away for nothing - and will continue to do so). Donations WILL be on their way.

Dibs claridge. Pm coming

Good luck with your plans

I love how people are quick to remind you to donate when they themselves have not donated.

dibs olmo, pm coming.

I don't profit from selling things on the forum, nor do I live in London. I have however donated to the causes brought up on the forum which I believe in. Though whether I need to justify myself is a mute point...

Neither do I.

Check out my star.

Undibs the Claridge.
Sadly too small for me. But Graham is a really good guy and true to his name, it really is a vintage bike cave. Frickin treasure chest down there. Anyway I took a photo of the frame with some forks n wheels so you lot could have a look.

Seat tube measures 60.5cm. top tube slopes slightly - really amazingly thin tubing - stupidly light. Someone buy it. quick.

btw That stupid 'Bell' sticker on the headtube comes off if that ever put you off.

What the c-c seat tube size of the Jim Claridge time trial frame?

The Mercian - is that corrosion on the top of the forks?

Is the frame still available?

Is the 1970s Claud Butler still available?
