Wanted: A track frame and have a bike to swap

Posted on
  • ok so im after a track frame, and i have my current ride to swap for it, only a conversion i know but she still rides sweet as a nut
    maybe a little money your way but not loads as money is tight
    the bike wont come with the cranks or bb and also the plane :) and lever and grips but i can give you everything else and have replacements that i will fit for all other bits so it will be complete and ready to ride and will be ready to ride,
    rear wheel is fixed only and has no braking surface, not sure who its by but ill give it a wipe and check later. and ill throw in the lights, and if ive got a better saddle ill grab it and fit it tomorrow. any questions just ask

    so what have you folks got??

  • good luck

  • badtmy got a 56cm fuji he's trying to shift

  • good luck

    not sure if this is tainted with sarcasm but ta all the same

  • good luck

    took the words right out of my mouth

    can't speak for 31trum but mine are; hopeful but laced with sarcasm.

  • To be fair I'll have to agree with Murtle and Snoops mate, it's just a conversion, there aren't any noteworthy bits on it and it's pretty rough looking, I'd say your best bet would be to give it a whopper cleaning and some T-Cut, maybe even de-sticker it 'cause it looks like they're a bit wrecked and polish up your seatpost/ bars/ stem/ hubs/ spokes, the works!! Try and remove any rust at all and then repost some new pics.

    It's not going to cost you anything, other than maybe a couple of quid for some metal polish/ auto polish/ T-Cut and it'll really improve your chances of making a few bob for this bike 'cause it looks like it would make a nice bike for a beginner or for someone's polo bike/ beater but you've not got a chance of making decent money for it in the condition it's in above.

    Best of luck though man and hope you can shift it and make enough to get your track bike!

  • thanks for all your creative and not so creative criticism, what a helpful bunch most of you aint. well i like my bikes ratty which is why its like it is but point taken nahg, ill give it a clean up and wack it on the bay as bikes as bad as thiis will make a ton all day, just so folk know im willing to put up 60 towaards any offers

  • Dude, no sarcasm here.

    If you really think it will, your dream will never happen, 60 quid plus a bike worth 50 tops, will not a track frame get you.

    Sorry

  • actually, on closer inspection, you may have harden hubs if they are a matching pair, could fetch quite a few £££'s.

  • i think the airplane on the handle bars might make it more valuable, certainly more aero.

  • Hmm just musing here -saddle/pedals/chainset/chain/front light/aeroplane meet with approval, the rest is history IMHO

    Now once upon a time I had a Falcon Black Diamond, must have been about 1966 methinks, resplendent in burnt orange and black, and with an Ernie Clements signature sticker on it too.

  • what size is it dude? i am guessing around a 56. is that the size you are looking for?

  • yep thats the size, also what im after

    as for the folk who say this would make 50, you need to sell a few more bikes on egay, ive takesn a bike exactly like this wiped it down, fitted a freewheel and made 120 off it, thats ebay for you people always get bid happy

  • and yes i love the plane

  • after a little research, rear hub is a 1950's constrictor hub, and front is a mailard hub ...... for anyone who gives a flying fudge

  • rear hub is worth £30 by itself, front is french crap.

  • lol thats the biggest heap i've ever seen

  • Well your a cunt jimmy and you should be working, any way im bare metaling it today and its going olympic blue

  • God loves a trier... or is that tryer? Hmmm...

  • Well your a cunt jimmy and you should be working, any way im bare metaling it today and its going olympic blue

  • did you find the paint in a skip too
