For Sale: NOS Rourke Lo Pro, NOS White Selle Saddle, New Velocity 650c + More...

EDIT Hey all, I'm doing the family thing until Sunday evening, apologies if you've messaged and I've not gotten back to you. I'll get back on Sunday and viewings / pickups etc monday - thanks!***

This is my first post out of the nursery - so hello all! Sorry for the low quality of some of these photos - had to use a laptop web cam.

I bought this frame from Gumtree a while ago despite suspecting it might be too small for me - turns out it is. Got seduced by the lovely paint job. Anyway, I'm selling the frame and the bits I got to go with it to buy a complete bike from another forum member.

I'm going home for the weekend but will be around all day Monday / Tuesday - viewings welcome, I'm in Hackney - E9 7QL. Would really love to have sold as much off as possible by end of Monday so a PM & dibs below is fine but I guess the first person with cash in hand takes it. Does that work?

Here are the details...

NOS Brian Rourke Lo Pro Frame £175
Reynolds 653
56cm seat tube
57cm top tube
126 rear spaced almost vertical dropouts, chromed chainstay.
Includes Shimano Dura Ace Headset, BB & a random seat post.
Internal routing for rear brake cable.

In great condition overall, just a few little chips in the paint. Looks like it was built up in a shop but never ridden? Decals all perfect except the 653 logo which is wrinkling a little.

NOS Selle Italia White Saddle £40
Got this on eBay from Hungary, never been ridden, but some very minor dirt from where I've sat on it to check out frame height.

The better pics are from the eBay listing, the crap one is from my webcam and shows the current condition (sort of)

NEW 650c Velocity Deep V £40
White machined
32 hole
Bought from BLB.
Still in factory wrapping.

NEW Blue Oury Grips £10
Out of packaging, but not used - save £3!
2 Riser Bars
Both unused
Steel Finish £12
White (Sprayed) £8 (Some chipped paint - see pic)
Both standard risers with 25.4 clamp

NOS Modolo Team Brakeset £50
Don't know much about these, another eBay purchase from Hungary. Probably not the best place to be selling brakesets... worth a go.

NOS Dia Compe BMX Levers £10 - SOLD -> LUPIN
Will sell for £5 each if 2 people each want R/L

Thanks for looking!

I'll take the levers off you. PM me when you're back and I'll come pick them up.
Cheers!

OK, Great.

I have that same postcode.... makes it all the harder to resist!

I may have a taker for the rim though, i'll let you know

Hey - that would be awesome - let me know

And feel free to drop by on Monday if you want to look at anything - it'd be nice to meet someone who rides in my immediate area - I'm sure there must be loads round here

thanks

that frame is bloody lovely at that price point you cant beat it for quality

While I don't need/want a lo-pro, you could buy that frame and a White Industries Eno for about £300. That's not bad at all, considering it's a sensible size.

Would you consider splitting the brakeset? I only need the front, and only the caliper at that, but I'd be interested in the front caliper and lever. Is it the old stle with the nut and bolt fastening or the modern recessed allen fixing on the caliper?

hello mate,

will take the steel risers, pm on its way...

hi
if frame fits me, will take, and the seat
new to forum, nursury mode, will pm u, when can.
what height would it suit
cheers

If the frame fit me I'd purchase my second Rourke lo pro, that's fucking beautiful. Whoever buys it get building and post the pics up on the Brian Rourke Flickr group.

35 on the saddle? if so, dibs.

would you let the frame go for 160?

dibs on the frame

this is a NOS rare 1980's brake set, you CANNOT split for some flouro hipster bike that'll be sold / stolen in 6 months.

harry if you really must own these, then buy the set, keep the rear and when fashion changes you can sell them as a set.

Fuck off you conceited prick.
Go find someone else to patronise.

bloody nice frame

@harry

do some research on the history of modolo and you'll understand why you can't ask someone to split a 25 year old NOS brake set to put it on something like this:

m'kay?

That Hungarian guy always seems to have loads of pairs - whenever one's sold he posts up another. All very strange.

There were some at the jumble yesterday for £15 (no levers).

ladies!

Hey Harry, I'd rather not split the brakeset as only one of them has a bolt long enough to go through a front drilling and it's unlikely that I'd sell a rear one on its own. Plus it'd be great to sell the levers and cables together with along with the calipers.

OK, here's how things are looking at the moment. Nothing final until I've got cash in hand, but basically...
