For Sale: Old track/ path frame

Sold!

Afternoon, this was a project which never really got started. I don't know much about the frame as I rescued it from possibly the worst build I've ever seen and since then it's just sat in my cupboard. From the little research I did when I first bought it I'm 90% sure it's a imperial petrel frame from the 40's made by a guy called Joe Scott- this is mainly based on the act that it's very unusual got the serial stamp on the lower heatube lug, i think he is the only one to who did this but I don't know for sure.

Seatube ctc- 21.5"
Top tube ctc- 23"

Anyway it could make a nice little restoration for someone. It has track ends, mudguard eyelets and is drilled for brakes so is just begging to be built in to a fixed commuting bike if nothing else. The geo is pretty slack as you'd expect of something with so much age. It has currently got a horrible rattlecan paint job but one resprayed could be quite nice. Included in the sale is frame, forks, headset and bb.

I have very little idea about price but I imagine** £120** is fair but please tell me if I'm wrong. I'm based in Bournemouth but will be in London Tuesday night and Wednesday if someone wants me to bring it up. If not its collection from Bournemouth or post at cost. Cheers.

that's the exact line i use on dating websites.

^Ha

Too pricey?

No, not too pricey I don't think.

Patience!

It looks nice. I had something with lugs that looked this way, a JRJ I believe. I think they're made from wrapping a piece of metal around the join rather than pre cast. I could be wrong. Could be that it was made like that when lugs were hard to source.

Good luck with the sale.

Thank you! Good to know.

Saturday bump- £110

Bargain!

C'mon guys :)

Last drop to £100 before off to ebay.

Any chance of some hint of the quality of the tubing? How heavy is it?

Also, what size seatpost and wheels?

It was running 700c's with deep drop calipers.

I'll measure the seat post and weigh her later :)

Is it still for sale?

Yes.

Right, I think the seatpost is 27.2 (crudely measured) and it weighs just over 3kg with headset and bb. Not sure of the tubing but imagine its decentish as it's nicely built with some good lug work.

New member so can't PM but please could you email lukeomahonyEIGHTSEVEN@ gmail? Numbers written out in caps should be characters (i.e. 1 rather than one); apologies for the cryptic email address as I got inundated with spam last time I put my email address up.

Cheers

What's the largest tyre that would fit?

Nice old frame

It had 25's and was still reasonably roomy, hope that helps.

Iom I've sent you an email.

You have a PM.
