Wanted: 58-60cm Track Bike

Posted on
  • Hello

    I am looking for a reasonably serviceable 58-60cm track bike or frame.

    For the whole bike I am looking to spend about £300. Willing to discuss more.

    I plan to use this for racing on the welwyn garden city track.

    The kind of thing Im looking for would be an entry level Dolan or Fuji that is a couple of years old, so dependable but nothing fancy.

    Please let me know if you think you might be able to help.

    Thanks Rob

  • A sutiable frame would be an option either

  • How flexible is your budget?

    I will create a thread in the classified shortly for my 60cm Gitane track:

  • I am not sure about paying more than 300 for that considering one can get a new dolan precursa for 450

  • vince, how much are you selling the gitane for?

  • ^Rherdman, the gitane vince is offering is considerably nicer than a pre cursa

    It depends on what you are after really - PreCursa are made in a far east factory for Dolan and you get basic components for on the full build ones.

    It is not often you see a hand made track frame with a sloping top tube in that size and in decent Columbus tubing.

    And the Gitane looks much better ;-)

  • if that gitane ever gets split, I want the f&f!

  • So is the Gitane for sale vince?

    Columbus Gara tubing. It is in really good condition since it has only done indoors track duties.
