For Sale: Giant team track - 53cm top tube - frame, full carbon forks and headset

[st]Edit: as my post below, sale suspended due to lack of interest for local collection at the time, and the fact that my other bike still has headset issues - so this is currently built up as my track bike.[/st]

Now back up for sale. £170 frame, fork (un-drilled), headset. Better photos are coming...

For sale is my Giant team track frame and forks.

I bought this from Laner of this parish in about November, meaning to build it up for use at Herne Hill when the weather improves. I built it up, but haven't ridden it - and I realised I simply like my other track frame (a Condor) more. A recent rethink means I want to slim down the stable, so this has to go!

53cm effective top tube (50cm seat tube, but it's compact geo so it fits people who'd normally ride a 53 or 54 - for reference I am about 170cm / 5'7" tall with a 30.5" inside leg).

Aluminium alloy frame with a full carbon fork. Headset is integrated and I just got a set of replacement bearing cartridges for it.

Takes a standard 27.2 seatpost, 120mm rear hub, 1 1/8" fork steerer.

Condition: frame is good with some marking but nothing at all structural. Fork has some laquer peeling on the crown and a scratch on the top of the steerer. Doesn't look like an issue to me, but standard caveats for buying used carbon apply, i.e. please make sure you're satisfied with condition before buying.

Better photos to come on request, or when I get a moment in good light. [I'm normally at work when the sun is out!]

These build up pretty light, although I haven't got a scale so can't quote weight.

Photos show it as I had it built up, but the sale is for frame fork and headset only! (seatclamp included as it's integrated to the frame). Will chuck in a carbon steerer-compatible expander bung, too.

I'm after what I paid, plus a little to cover the new bearings, so £170 please.

[st]Collection in Deptford SE8 on evenings (PM me for meetup details) or I could bring to LMNH or London Bridge Station if you ask nicely.[/st]

Collection Camberwell SE5, or waterloo if you ask nicely :-)

Many thanks for looking.

the fork attached to the bike is not included. The included fork is a proper track one, i.e. it's not drilled for a brake.

Original thread, for reference (not that there's much there): http://www.lfgss.com/thread92579.html

Have a bump !

That's a good price for the frame and forks.

I think the T Mobile team Omnium was the best looking of all the paint jobs and they build up in to really light stiff track bikes.

When one of our riders had their bike weighed in Melbourne at the Commonwealth games it was so under weight we had to steal some lead flashing off a roof roll it up an stick it in the seat tube to add the extra to pass the bike check.

Very pretty !

Friendly bump! =)

this is a good deal

thats cheap

Really no one is going to take this beauty?

Sale suspended on the basis that noone wants to buy for local collection and my condor headset is causing issues so I may now need to ride this myself.

If you reconsider about selling the frame and consider shipping this beautifull frame to Portugal, let me know!

Do you still have the frame? Are you still looking to sell? Am very interested as rack season about to start and we have realised our daughter has outgrown hers! Many thanks.

that should have said "track season" !

Bump, and for 170pounds this is an absolute bargain. Would 54cm be just a bit too small for a 5'9 guy?

This is going back up for sale due to a lack of space in my flat and a lack of time/ motivation to get to track. Same condition as above, same price. I am about to strip the parts off to take some better photos.
