56cm 14Bikeco Hanbury track build. BLB, Miche, Nitto parts
I bought the frame and fork in 2012 and have built it with good quality parts.
The reason why i am selling it is because i want some gears for longer rides. yeah im a traitor.
I serviced the bike the other day and all parts are working.
Below is a list of all the parts.
I am 5'11 and this set up fits me like a glove.

Frame: 56cm 14Bikeco Hanbury track frame with matching fork.
The frame and fork was built by Lee Cooper in Coventry and made out of Reynolds 531.
due to a dodgy paint job, there is numerous rust spots over the frame and fork. there is also some scratches but a new paint job will sort it all out.
This frame is nice and light and will suite anyone riding in London.
Wheels: Handbuilt BLB King hubs in black laced to Velocity A23 in black also. comes with 17t fixed sprocket from BLB.
I recently bought these wheels in October and are still true and running smoothly. I honestly believe that they are the best wheel set i've had to date.
Tyres: a set of Schwalbe Durano Plus London Edition 23c. I got these tyres with the wheels and both are still in good condition.
Crankset: Miche Primato Cranks with a 48t chainring. The teeth are worn but still running smoothly with chain.
Chain: Izumi Super Toughness track chain. probably the best track chain out. ultra strong and still running smooth.
Stem: Nitto Technomic.
Handlebars: Nitto RB-018 Bullhorn in silver. Last week i added some fresh bar tape in black.
Headset: Tange Seiki 1inch headset.
Seatpost: Miche Supertype black seatpost. Awesome looking.
Saddle. Charge Stool Black. this saddle has a small rip in the corner but doesnt effect ride.
Brake: You can only take a front brake on this bike. Miche Primato front brake. i have just changed the brake pads.
Pedals: BLB Bmx pedal with holdfast strap. I have had this combo since i first built her. i have not had one problem with it and im sure there is plenty of life left in them.
I am looking for £400 for the whole build as she cost close to 1 grand to build.
I live in the Camden area and will only be accepting picks up and cash in hand.
i dont want to swap for anything either and any questions give me a shout.
