  • Really could do with finding one as soon as possible...Prepared to pay anything between £150 and £400 depending on condition...

                                                         cheers
    
  • there is a Nag in the bay at the moment, check the ebay thread.

  • 64cm steel frame..................done.

  • Thanks Rik, have actually seen that, lovely frame, but sadly waaaaaaay out of our price range...thanks again.

    So, are you really tall? I'm 6'6" and I own a 61cm Fillmore. I find it (just) big enough. I think the Surly Steamroller is a bit bigger.

  • I'm really tall (6'8") and ride a 62cm for my geared bike. Just fine.

    My fixed is technically too small for me, but I love it and therefore cope :P

    hmmm, actually it's for a friend (I'm really quite short) anyway he's 6ft 5 and being riding fixed on a 64 for the last few years and found that's what suits best...he's ridden 62cm and 60cm and found it uncomfortable...I guess it's personal preference.

  • Makes sense. He might have longer legs than me! I wanted a larger bike, but found it very difficult to find one that was reasonably priced.

    Good luck!

    You might want to try the Waltham Forest bike recycling project. They have a bunch of old frames... you might find something there. I had found an old 64cm Falcon last year, but didn't end up buying it. This, of course, was not a track frame.

  • Aaah thanks for that, will definately check it out, he's adamant about not wanting a conversion which limits the field even further, guess we'll have to hold out... thanks again.

  • beater raleigh frame i think a grade just below the banana. heavyish i think its a 62/3 though

    looks like this built up

    £15

  • try brick lane bikes they have some huge frames down in the basement definately seen nice quality 64cm's
    i am sure they have something of interest for you

  • didn't phasergunalex have a huge track frame for sale?!?

  • yes but he sold it unfortunately, will give Brick lane bikes a call...

  • Can't you get a new Bob Jackson for that sort of money?

  • My friend Dan has a 64cm steel frame he's selling...it's an absolute monster.

    Pics:


    He's looking for £350. Definitely one of a kind...and silly tight. Nice.

    Sizes are: Seat tube 64 c-t, 60 c-c Top tube 57 c-c

    Oh, and it's hanging up in Cavendish if you wanna see it in the flesh?!

  • Holy mother. That is a beast!

  • Indeed...it's absolutely fucking MASSIVE! But then my friend is, like, 6'5" or something freakish like that.

  • Very nice.

    Too small for me though :(

  • Very nice.

    Too small for me though :(

    Dude... how tall are you? I'm 6'6" and have a hell of a time finding frames that fit.

  • Fee fi fo fum...

  • awesome. is the fork drilled? is the price fixed? headset included?

  • awesome. is the fork drilled? is the price fixed? headset included?

    No, the fork isn't drilled. Yes, the headset is included...tis a campy chorus. And yeah, the price is fairly fixed...but feel free to make an offer and i can relay it to my friend.

  • Hello. I am said friend of Alex.

    Just to point out: the frame is AMAZING to ride. Super-short; turns on a sixpence; accelerates like fook.

    The fork is undrilled; it's actually impossible to drill as the crown is so small.

    Columbus Max steel tubing throughout.

    Also, the price is negotiable to a degree.
