Rear Wheel is a Zenith fixed/free hub laced to a Mavic Ardennes rim, it'll need truing properly like. The front is a old shimano 105 hub laced to the same type of rim. And also have a oldish 105 hub laced to a Mavic MA2 rim.

Edit: Should also say the frame is a 57cm and I also have a MTB and Road bike for sale too.

finally got the pictures of the tandem like i said it needs alot of TLC and would make a fantastic project.

hey man im in nead of an italian bottom bracket any one have anything i can nick or buy? also a bit of a strange one. but might anyone have a seat clamp bolt campagnolo style and those adjuster screws that go in the end of the dropouts

bot sure if anyone on the forum'll be interested, but before i ebay it, first dibs to the tune ... MCS 24" cruiser ..frame stripped back to polished Aluminium .. pretty much as it came outa the box about 6 years ago ... very little use, mostly commuting... a few scratches ... no dings ...black anodising worn off the rims
it was actually a pretty serious cruiser in its day ... think i paid about £350 for it and had to wait like 6 weeks for it to be imported from the states.
.. heres a test report

and heres what it originally looked like .. (although he's tricked it out a bit with some nice cranks)
http://www.bmxtalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28476

i've returned it to its stock format, ie removed the front brake, cos I'm selling it as a bmx.
oh yeah its running a 20T freewheel for polo at the mo, the original 17T freewheel cog is here, or theres a 18T track cog for the suicide fit.

how much ... not too sure, but the plan is to use the cash against some sexy 700c wheels in future (or a 700/650 combo) ... but i'd probably put a reserve of £50 or £60 notes on ebay
..... or maybe just a straight swap for some trick wheels ... whatever.

... in case you dont know what it looks like, here she is

... mmm .. image load fail.

Does anyone have a front wheel for sale? My mates after a new one since buckling his.
Cheaper the better, if it comes with an innertube and tyre that would be super.

hey man, so would you accept £50 - 60 for the cruiser?

60 and its yours if you want it ... its had a really easy life ... never even been jumped

better sized images

tom, ive got my old front wheel, just a non branded deep v laced to a formula, but il let it go for £15?

Trying to cut down on the amount of bikes I own so this is gonna have to go:

Sold as shown, make me an offer.

My mates interested in buying this, how much are you looking for roughly?
What size is the frame?
Is the rear hub fixed/fixed or fixed/free?

Not sure how much to ask really. It's a 57cm frame if I remember rightly built with fixed/free rear hub.

BMX now sold

Would be interested in the fixed... what kind of frame?

Hi, I'm Fone's mate who's interested in the bike. Honestly have no idea how much is expected but I'm trying to get a bike put together for cheap. Would £100 be ok?

Vintage 3 speed bikes .... not sure if this of any interest to folks out there, but i fancy one of these .. anyone tempted to team up and make a bid ... can't see them being that cheap though ..

ha! look good for a pub bike!
keep me updated on the bidding.

Tempted Nige but look a bit small for me

they're both 21" frames, so maybe too small for you matt .... i don't think they're all that old either ... folks were still building these kinda things up till the early eighties ... and i bet the geometry hasn't changed at all since the early fifties, so it may not be the perky, quirky polo bike i think it should be ... i'll keep watching it anyway

never mind polo, its the perfect pipe smoking, tweed wearing, monocle rocking cruiser bike.

the kind i image this chap would ride.

what

I've got 52p and half a pack hobnobs?
