Originally purchased the frame from North London Light and built it up for a sunday bike. slightly unmatching groupset but all works sweet.
Really fast, light,tight frame and rides really well. Want to make a bit of space but if i don't get what i want for it then i will hold onto her until spring.

will pop some plastic test pedals on for test rides

SOLD to Anidel **desired.

please be realistic if making me an offer rather than a lowball, thanks.

Can meet at Putney, Waterloo or Godalming.

Rad. That frame and dem forks.

Good price too.

2 years ago it was my bike

Lovely ride bastard, sad to see it go but its this or my TT bike and that's going nowhere.

PM'ed.

Glad to see you might have got this sold and much quicker than I did!!! You have built it up well and very sympathetically. You can't have ridden it that much since March when you bought the frame from me

I bought it as frame and built it up geared then stripped it and rode it as fixed: it was lovely both ways. Thanks for the name check by the way.

For anyone interested, here is how I had it as a geared bike, in a real old school style.

I wasn't aware of "bastard" being a previous owner as I bought frame from a guy who I'm sure advertised some parts on Gumtree and when I went to see him he showed me the frame.

somebody is going to get a real piece of heritage, for shizzle.

still available? please pm

Can't PM you for some reason, feel free to PM me

No firm buyers at present, please Pm if you have a sensible offer

last ditch attempt at a sale before ebay or gumtree this weekend

Very nice bike. I can probably make a serious offer this w/e, but I'm new to the forum and cant PM you yet. If you PM me, could we arrange a test ride?

can't PM you as you are a newbie. maybe wait ?

Any idea on what year this is from, Jim?

I looked at this bike yesterday. Such a lovely ride and quick as hell. Beatifully put together. Shame it was just a tad small for me or I would have bought it in a flash.

Have a bump!

Thanks Tomobrien

Paramounted - i am assuming 1980's

gone to the bay of e(vil)

didn't sell there so final offers bump before it gets sent into winter storage

Any chance you'd be willing to split it up? (Apologies if that's heresy). Very intrigued by NorthLondonLight's fixed set up.

Are you willing to drop the price much ?

It is heresy. Jim's set up is great and even better than when I had the old school geared look. It's only my opinion!!!!

Its back on ebay at the moment.

don't really want to split it, unless you want to offer me a suitable amount. ?

willing to split if enough interest ?

Frame £150

the rest i can use on another build.

If its still going i'm very interested, if you don't want to split up the parts!
