Wanted: Elguapo needs a bike! 56-57cm track/fixed frame or bike

I am looking for a fixed gear bike 56-57cm. A track frame would be best but it all depends on what you got. Lugged Reynolds tubing or equal quality. I have about £500 to spend and thats it! If any of you have a nice ride that needs a home let me know what you have. I am always up for a bit of a project (nothing heroic) so if you have a frame that wants to be built or a nice fixer upper for a couple hundred £'s I might be interested too.

Hey Hippy, I'm intrigued? Definite possibillity. Can you throw me a little more info about it? History, size, is it one of your rides? Did you like it? And of course, How much ££ ?

Mid-1979 model, 56cm ST/54cm TT, yes, yes, £shitloads. :)
(somewhere between £350-£700 based on previous ebay auctions)

^that price is frame only!

Yep. The only one I've seen go on ebay here was in much worse condition and went for £350 I think. There was one in better condition that went in the USA for £750!!! frame, fork, bb and headset I think. Mental.

Cha-chinnng!
You won't sell it - you'll never find another one.. sell the Soma.

If I could afford that bike it would be mine.

So I am assuming you don't want to sell it? At least not for what I can pay? If true, bummer :( nice bike.

I do want to sell it.. but Prav is a bastard for giving me those damn second thoughts again.. and you probably can't afford it if you're limited to £500 for a complete bike :)

I have the original undrilled forks btw.

I could do $600 but I will starve to death for a while.

I don't take dollars. :)

Oh shit sorry, I've spent the last three weeks in the US. I meant £600 .

Okay, you can have it for £600. :)

Right on Hippy! It's going to a good home I promise. I really appreciate it, having my bike stolen here in NYC really sucked. I only had it for a freakin' week! I am coming back to London on Monday and we can arrange to meet up. I will private message you my contact info and you do the same.

You do know I'm only talking about the frame and forks, right?
It's no longer a complete bike.

Oh boy, not gonna work :( grrrrrrrrr. Sorry hippy, I misunderstood. Damn. Well I guess I'm on the hunt again. Sorry man I need a bike and I cant afford more than what I got to start a new build. Need a whole bike. I'll keep looking.

elguapo, buy a bike while you're out there!

$1000 will surely get you a lot more bike in the US than £500 will get you here!

You would think so asm, but once you include overseas shipping + dutys it costs a bomb! If I bought one here I cant bring it back with me because I already have to pay for some over sized shit I have to bring back. Blah blah blah. I'm going to just sit on the money I think and do some thinking as to what the best thing to do might be? I just thought if I bought a bike in the UK it would save me the hassle of shipping. I'll figure it out, I just need a bike. It keeps me sane.

Hey dude, we might be able to help you out.
