For Sale: Ellsworth 58cm alu track frame

Hi all,

Thought I'd offer this to the forum before I eBay it as it'll probably get better use, as I mostly ride a road bike these days.

I need some space (and some money) so reluctantly getting rid of my Ellsworth 58cm track frame & forks. It'll come with BB, Campag headset, Campag seat clamp only - not the other bits in the photo.

It's this, but the person that had it before me sprayed it black: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WyMeoQk2N5M/T2TblCeOjRI/AAAAAAADOFM/InIT1yn7SxY/s1600/IMG_0185.JPG

This is the actual frame:

There's a couple of minor paint scrubs but otherwise perfect - it's only been ridden in 3 month spurts and hasn't been ridden for well over a year and a half. One very minor dint in the top tube but you can't even see it.

One thing - the LHS crank arm is threaded and I can't get it off the BB. Just need to take it to my local bike shop to see if they can do it, otherwise it's all good. I'll sell it with the stem - do whatever you want with that, it makes transportation a bit easier if I keep it on!

I'm open to offers so anyone that's interested give me a shout. Can collect from Hackey Wick or I can drop off most places in East for free.

Any questions I'll try and answer them! Cheers. I'll try and take some proper pictures later.

I'm not sure if my replying to private messages is working... drop me a message in this thread if you're interested and I'll get back to you!

What on Earth made you paint this frame!?

If you read my original post I bought it already painted, not knowing of the original colour scheme.

^ Yeah, sorry I meant "Why on Earth WOULD you (in general) spray it?"

Yeh I'm interested in this frame (dibs btw). How much were you looking to sell it for?

just put a price on it... forum rules.

Didn't know that... My bad. Will take offers on £250.

Offers, you want bid? Go to eBay...

You want fee free sale? Then stick to a price...

I'd rather sell it on here as I want it to go to someone that will make use of it. I'd love £250 for it, but I'm open to offers as I need rid.

There's no real need for the negative replies, I fully intend on donating to the forum once it's sold too.

I can offer £100

is this more or less setup you have been riding? with these wheels etc?

Yeah, I rode it with the Velocities and it was lovely. Just stopped riding fixed after a bit of a nasty accident (not on this frame mind).

Sorry, losing myself money on that. I'd take £200 if anyone wants it this weekend, I'm out and about on Saturday morning so more than happy to drop it off if it's a sensible distance from Hackney Wick.

I can absolutely believe it was good, thats a great polish alu ride - but I am sure you'd enjoy it a bit more if you had correctly sized 650c front wheel/fork fitted:)

I guess I can stretch to 150 if that's any use?

I live in Fulham btw.

is it a 58 top tube?

I bought the frame / forks / headset as a whole and knew nothing about the proper gear... it took me ages to find out anything about the frame at all let alone correct forks.

is it a 58 top tube?

Will measure it tonight for you.

£150, drop off at Fulham this weekend (cash in hand). Is that good for you?

Sorry... Fulham is a good hour drive in weekend traffic and that still leaves me short. 180 and we have a deal

How about 170? I don't think I can get to Hackney Wick tbh. I could meet you somewhere in town I guess?

175 is fine actually, I'll meet you halfway. What's the furthest south you can drop the frame?

I can collect it from Hackney Wick station.
