  • I have reluctantly come to realise that this bike is a bit too long for me, and that there may be a better option for what I'm currently using it for.

    The frame is an alloy Team GB frame, which I think comes from slightly before the era of Track Champions and Pre Cursas. It is lighter than a Pre Cursa, and there are pictures of it being used by members of the Welsh national track team so it can't be too bad:

    The bike will come as seen in the picture below, aside from the pedals, which I am keeping. You will get the following:

    Frame: Dolan Team GB, 58cm seattube c-t, 60cm top tube c-c
    Forks: Carbon with 1" alloy steerer
    Headset: Cane Creek S1
    BB: Shimano BB-UN55
    Chainset: Stronglight 2000 48t
    Cog: Surly 18t
    Stem: 3T Arx Pro 90mm
    Bars: Deda Newton 42cm
    Levers: Condor-Tektro
    Tape: Don't ask
    Brake: Sram Apex
    Seatpost: Gravity Gap inline
    Seat clamp: Thomson
    Saddle: San Marco Concor
    Wheelset: Pro-Lite Rosa track
    Tyres: Specialized Espoir 700x25c, less than 150 miles old

    It has served me well on the track, as a road fixed and currently as a runaround, but even with a 90mm stem I feel a bit stretched. With compact drops it was fine, but I would rather get something a bit shorter, or use my Pompetamine more. I am 6ft2in (188cm) and slightly longer than average torso and shorter than average legs.

    There are a few chips in the paintwork here and there, but no serious dings. The original forks cracked after the bike blew over at the velodrome and the forks landed on a concrete kerb.

    I am looking for £235. No splits, and collection from Camden/Holloway. I am moving away for a bit in 10 days' time, and would like this gone before then.

    Please no dibs without PM. More pics on request. Thanks!

  • ^overpriced muck.. are you taking the piss old lad!? spiritoftheforum.jpg

  • dibs! pm coming

  • fuck yeah! this is going to be awesome!

  • At the minute there are three people strongly interested, but as I have already part paid for my new bike, and am pretty short on time, I am keen to sell the bike as quickly as I can.

    I have told all three the same, that I will be at the Herne Hill velodrome with the bike before, during and for a short while after the intermediate training session tomorrow morning.

    As I am yet to hear back from wholden13 since last night, honouring the order in which people have contacted me (wholden13, BoardChrisman and bikepusher), if any of them can make it down there they can have it. It's unorthodox but I think it's fair. If enough people call me a cunt I might reconsider.

  • cunt.
    sounds like the right thing to do. make them fight for it at HH

  • It's not like that! As I hope you understood.

    If wholden13 lets me know he's coming and shows up, it's his. If he doesn't, and BoardChrisman is there, it's his. If I hear from neither of them, and I get in touch with bikepusher and he can make it, then it's his.

    Otherwise, I can ride home. I think that's legit.

  • So you're selling it for a thousand now?

  • £1100 then.

    Do I hear £1200?

  • £11111090-00!!!!!!!! I will not regret/ remember this bid in the morning so I can definately pay tomorrow or never. Whichever isn't sooner. Good day.

  • £1100 then.

    Do I hear £1200?

  • ^this guy

  • Robadob has offered to buy it in exchange for his Colnago Dream, a Cartier watch, ticket to The Ashes at Lord's and a pat on the fanny.

    Is this a good deal?

  • Fuck you! I offered my collection of plastic wheels and a luxury Titanic legend cruise!

  • How about an oily wank and a Carlsberg?

  • wholden13 out of the running. you can never have too many bikes, but.... if your as lax about work as me, maybe 2 will do for now. damn herb made me headsttttttrong!

  • has this been resolved yet?

  • Viscious bidding has driven the price up to £12,000...!
