IRO Mark V - £180 F&F from Cavendish, and steel.

Mine was great until an incident on Tuesday, I feel it is probably somewhat beyond repair now though.

Looked at the frame quickly, and it looks to me like the forks getting hit pulled the headtube down, and there's a bit of a bend on the top tube - going to put a straight edge to it when I get home on Saturday and see.

If not, perhaps some nice carbon forks that I can snap in the future.

How much do you want to spend and what size?

Surly Steamroller frameset from OCW for 230

+1 on the steamroller - used to have one (hope youre still enjoying it jv!)

Fuji track and then sell all the components. £270 minus the at least £100 you'll get for the components. I've heard it's a good frame though I've got nothing to compare mine too except a Bianchi Pista that is too big for me.

does the steamroller still only come in that reddish brown colour? that really put me off it. the grey one was amazing.

or even the Fixie Inc. chrome straightfork that make your bike look nice and classic without looking too old.

I want to say the one in OCW is maroon, but it might be grey.

£230 for a Steamroller Frameset?! The cheapest I've found is £280 up here in Cambridge. What is this OCW that you speak of? ;)
