For Sale: 59cm Lexpres track bike - complete, with extras

I have decided to part with this.

It's a lovely bike to own, I think it's absolutely beautiful, but I don't really get that much out of riding it, and it's caught in the no-mans-land between actual track bike and beater, which means it rarely ever gets ridden. When I do ride it, I just don't enjoy it as much as I should. It needs a slightly longer seatpost to fit me properly, but I'm getting tired of making tweaks and spending money for something I'm not 100% about.

Included:
Frame and forks (59cm x 57cm ctc, unknown but light tubing, Campagnolo track ends), with Action chrome forks, drilled for brakes
Tange Levin headset
Ofmega Super Competizione cranks and BB, with 52t Suntour Superbe chainring
Time single-sided ATAC pedals
Campagnolo aero seatpost with white Rolls saddle

Two cockpit setups:

Road: Nitto RB018 bullhorns, 100mm 3ttt Pro Chrome stem, Condor tape, Cane Creek aero lever and Campagnolo Mirage Monoplanar brake
Track: 3ttt bars, 130mm 3ttt stem, bar tape porn blue-white fade Pelten tape

Two wheelsets:

Road: F Ofmega Super Competizione high flange hub, Mavic MA2 rim, R System Ex hub Mavic Open Pro rim, both with 23mm Panaracer Pasela tyres, 19t Surly cog
Track: Ofmega Super Competizione laced to Mavic Piste rims, absolutely mint condition, both with Vittoria Sei Giorni tubs - which have been used once at Herne Hill, and apart from that, only ever indoors, 16t cog

The Ofmega Super Competizione parts alone are worth a lot, especially the wheelset with near-mint Mavic Piste rims. So if you really wanted to you could buy all this and make a mint.

I'd much prefer to sell it to someone who actually wanted to ride it though.

The only bad part of note is that I sold the original forks. They weren't actually that nice anyway, they were undrilled chrome track forks with a fair bit of pitting, and they were heavier than the forks that are on it now. For the purist, though, this could be a slight issue, and this has already put off one potential buyer.

I'm after £580 for all this, which will include a 10% donation to the forum. I'd prefer not to split but would hear offers for the mini groupset (cranks, BB, track wheelset)

1.) Track setup (now has different bars, stem, saddle and post)

2.) Track setup with wrong wheels shown

3.) Current setup

4.) With risers (not included)

Thanks for looking!

so tempting, perfect TM size. Shame I'm skint.

is it drilled?

maybe interest in f&f if splitz

just seen you shifted the original forks, shame...

I didn't realise that selling the original forks could be an issue. They weren't even that nice.

If it did come to a split I would probably sell everything else and keep the frame and forks and make it into an actual beater.

Alternatively, I would swap it for your Condor...

lulz (:

Well just for those fixie skidder douchbags like me that like undrilled forks and tight clearances.

The clearances aren't too bad with the drilled fork either - the top two pictures show the undrilled one, the bottom two the drilled. It's nearly sorted the toeverlap as well, and that's with my size 47 Sidis

I love the look of the original forks! Shame...
Deal either way.

you really did. Original forks were dead nice.

still a rad whip though, shame to see you sell it.

nooo!!

PM incoming.

Dibs on cranks if you split! PMd

SOLD complete, pending collection at the weekend.

It is hanging up at the foot of my bed, and I am now repeating to myself "I do not need to keep a bike I rarely ride just because it looks good, I do not need to keep a bike I rarely ride..."
