790 for a frame!!!!!!!!!!!!

790 for a frame!!!!!!!!!!!!

you probably payed like GBP20 for your rekord, ha? :)

I was in TFG for the very first time this week.

Witnessed a customer pay 1,750 for a non-descript fixie with a spok.

Is that the going price for a brand new bike these days?

Pm'd ;)

latest frame, should arrive next week :)

should suit my stumpy legs, long torso

^ i just saw that on ebay an hour ago and thought to myself - why didn't anybody buy it yet, it's just $300 :))

Is that the Don Walker? It's nice.

yep - Don Walker. Confirmed it with the big man himself - it's 94-95 era, made for Matt Chambers while racing Hellyer Park in San Jose.

And it's a Don Walker too, isn't it?

to be fair the top tube is stupidly long, so I'm not surprise that no one brought it yet.

edit - 7 minutes too late.

it's nice though

61cm on a lo pro doesn't worry me too much. Original rider was 5'11", with a long torso - that matches me quite well. Gonna keep the stem down to 80 i expect

just realized it would've been perfect for 0 reach BMX stem and BMX style risers... damn! should've bought it!

it'll handle like a bizarre whippet with a zero rach stem.

11pm is a bit early for sarcasm recognition fail, ed

no risers going anywhere near this baby - already have one silly lo pro ;)

does seem a bit steep but i guess.

frame - £500
cranks (75's) - £150
spok - £350 (?)
rear wheel - £250 (phil)
tires - £50
saddle/seatpost/bars/stem - £200 (easy if thomson)

£1,500.

hmmmmm.

Sugino 75 cranks are £150, chainring £65, bb £65 also the frame may have cost more then £500, also they probably have a labour charge.

i think the heat of afghanistan is getting to me, i just spent over a grand on NJS parts for my new build...

*note to self, STOP BUYING SHIT ONLINE..!!!

Just put on a longer stem and seatpost so the Freddie Grubb is finally finished! Rides a beaut.
