  • Are the forks 'proper' track fforks...ie are they round ...or road forks...ie lozenge shaped?

    It might be a wise move to close the Retrobike thread......no one has contributed to it since March and if....if you want to sell it....without nasty ebay fees.....here is your best bet...also keep the Forum Police off your back.....just a friendly suggestion.....if you answer my questions in this reply and my earlier ones.....i might be interested but perhaps at a lower price but one that is not insulting either.

    Oh i am guessing that the frame is 531c.....by a closer inspection of the decals

  • 531' 53.5cm / 21" top tube CTC, I'm in Bristol....seat tube 21" CTT. Poss 1984, there's a 84 in the frame number....It's pink and flies up hills....

  • I advertised elsewhere in March and have no idea how to close the ad...the price is right, this is unique. And I'm beginning to think I should sell the Condor instead.....

  • Go to retro bike and delete everything and in the header.....say thread closed.....delete pics too.

    I could afford....£300 all in.....for f&f. assuming no dings or dents.....best I could do!....I understand you want £360 all in.....c'est la vie.....if can hold out....do so......just to have pink bike chart whizzs up hills.....GLWS

    PS....the forks; track or road?

  • Sorry, I was trying to get a pic for you, technical issues. The forks are more round than lozenge. No dents, no dings. A few marks and there is a bit of grubbiness on the chain stays where there was a clear coating that is scuffing. This could be stripped but I didn't know what to use. I could do £300 for the frame and forks, but not with the Campag headset. Plus £10 postage, unless you're near Bristol....

  • I am in Cambridge...I understand about the headset.....I have a feeling they are track forks.....can be jelly like when braking...my experience of track forks....could always change the forks.....chrome!......what is the length of the head tube please.

  • 13.5cm. I've had no problems with the forks when braking, but I have the physique of a racing snake....I have another person interested, if you want it, please let me know. Off round Ashton Court on the fixed mountain bike, ahead of the Cheesy bike jumble, so back later....

  • Very interested but let the 'other person'....take fist call.....i won't have the money till next weekend anyway plus i am in a discussion about a SB TI Raleigh track frame......my physique is more racing tank!......and i have had the jelly feeling on track forks coming down a hill and it was not a nice feeling.....but dibs on Clifton Suspension Bridge!......Have fun.

  • No problem, I've had 2 sb ti track raleighs, the black and red one was awesome, the white and blue, OK, although they had very flexy forks...........just kidding.....

  • Let me what happens regarding the 'other chap'......as i'd love another pink frame...is it a real Argos or a frame they resprayed and bunged on their own decals?....the last one i had resulted in mother questioning my sexuality....i kid you not!

  • No definate takers, so anyone interested?????????

  • No definate takers, so anyone interested?????????

    Behave yourself Mr Flash.....as you know i am!.....as discussed in our recent PMs

  • money talks, but it don't sing and dance and it don't walk....but it'll do me....
    Please let me know if your possibilities don't work out.....

  • Yes money talks...but all it says to me is goodbye......Will do....likely i will be buying an Ilkeston SB TI Raleigh track frame but deal nowhere near finalised .

  • Bumpety bump.....................

  • Is this still selling?
