Wanted: Small single speed (around 48-50cm)

Posted on
  • Hi,

    I'm looking for a small single speed: around 48 - 50cm for someone who's 5ft 2, preferably with straight bars. The budget is anything up to £200.

    Let me know if you've got anything suitable

    Joe

  • I was going to put this up in classified. It's not a head turner but will see you on wheels staight away.
    **
    50cm beater. Single speed conversion**
    Unknown frame with bad paint job. Rust maks and chipped paint pretty much everywhere... particularly bad in downtube
    Shimano rims and rear hub, don't know about front
    Shimano 105 headset
    Worn Selle Italia carbon saddle
    Newish Continental Armadillo tyres
    Rest of spec is generic stuff

    Bike rides perfectly well, wheels are true, chainline is straight etc.
    Bought it as quick replacement for my stolen bike and rode it everyday for 3-4 months (20 miles commute) until I got myself something better. Never a problem
    I have no use for it now and could do with the cash.

    Yours for £100

    Can pick up from London Bridge, Richmond, Clapham Junction or Twickenham any weekday after work. Alternatively I can meet in central London weekends

  • this still available mate? potential dibs for my gf

  • sorry bazschmaz bought it yesterday, I offered it in another 'wanted' thread but if doesn't work out, you have 1st dibs.

  • this still available mate? potential dibs for my gf

    alwaysanalogue, you have first dibs, the other guy is waiting for a friend to confirm etc.... in short the bike is still available.

  • All, my beater is no longer available. Sold it yesterday

  • Hi Fugit I notice you had a QR lever on your beater with nearly horizontal dropouts. Did you not have any issues with chain slip?

  • No, not really. Rode it quite hard for 3-4 months and did not slip

  • Are you still looking - I've got a new 52" frame Mango single speed - hardly ridden

  • Fuck - totally didn't see that message 2 weeks ago fugit. Would have snapped it up! 52cm is too big for the lady I'm afraid

  • Sorry alwaysanalogue...
    (I set up lfgss so i get an email notification if someone posts on my subscribed threads...)

  • Yeah man I have that too, I must have just missed it. Out of curiosity was it sold to a forum member?

  • Yes, samdryan bought it
