For Sale: 1980's Sprint single speed

  • Vintage 1980's Sprint Single Speed Road Bike

    This is a lovely vintage classic road bike from the 1980's that has been converted to a single speed (NOT fixie).

    The frame is 19" from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube .... This means that the bike is pretty small and therefore designed for a shorter rider.

    The frame is over 25 years old and the paint is original .... It has marks and scratches as you would expect, however no dents and nothing structural .... see photographs

    The bike has a brand new pair of 700c wheels, these have Shimano hubs and Alex rims, they are both quick release and have an RRP of £120

    Both wheels have new Bontrager inner tubes and good tyres

    There is a brand new Charge Bucket saddle that cost £25

    The bike has a new single speed conversion kit with a new KMC chain and brand new pedals with toe clips.

    The bars are wrapped in Bontrager tape , the front brake has a new flat bar lever, new cable and new brake blocks .... The brake works extremely well.

    This is a stunning little bike that would be ideal for ripping up the streets of London, Brighton or any other city .... It is a real headturner and rides like a dream.

    Collection from Totton, Southampton .... I am prepared to meet at the train station if that helps .... Cash on collection please

    Any questions please ask

  • Looks nice. Not a brand I've heard of before.
    SS needs a back brake, btw.

  • Thanks .... Interesting conversation that one, most people I know that run SS run a front brake only

    I have too.
    I stopped doing so when the brake cable broke, legality aside.

  • Well if anyone is interested I have matching rear brake and lever and can always fit one :-)

  • Rear brake being fitted in the morning :-)

  • Cool. But cant be on here and the bay of dreams...

  • Okay .... Didn't realise that, sorry :-)

  • I sold a number of these sort of conversions on Gumtree, £120 - £180, in London, this summer.
    It's not really an earner, tbh.
    One has recently showed up here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread119258.html
