For sale is my Tokyo Fixed S1 build, which since finishing has probably done about 20miles tops, and spent the rest of the time in my flat.
I'm selling it as I've already got a fixed commuter and want to put the proceeds towards a road bike instead.
I bought the frame and forks back in early 2012 from a member of staff of TF for £350. He'd also included a pair of Carbon forks but not the original tange threaded headset.
I've got the original S1 Keirin forks but opted to keep the thread-less carbon ones on it. The stem on the build is an OEM one from my S.E lager, and due to the shortness of the forks and bulkiness of it; only one bolt on the stem is gripping the fork's, it still feels safe with no play, but could certainly do with changing over for a more compact one, if these forks are kept on the bike.
This site has some photos of the original forks :

Mine are immaculate!
All of the components are new with the exception of the stem and frame/forks.
I'm open to sensible offers as would like to get back as close to what I spent as poss, which is over £750.
So offers around £700.
Points :
The frame is pretty much immaculate, though the paint job flaked when the BB was fitted and the same for the headset. I know this is common but worth mentioning, I've touched it up with black nail polish.
Also the headset for some reason just slotted in and didn't need pressing, doesn't affect anything but maybe a better headset might suit the S1.
