For Sale: Pub or polo bike - Reynolds 653 singlespeed

Perfect for your pub-bound needs, I'm moving on my well loved single speed.

'Mindham' cyclocross frame, fillet brazed/ lugged Reynolds 753. The frame was built by Greg Fuquay, a bit of a legend apparantly. There is a top tube dent on the frame from the handlebars and the decals are tatty, but it is still in good, rideable shape. Size wise, the seat-tube is an effective 53cm, top tube is 56cm

The components are all fairly generic save for the LX Hollowtech cranks, DMR V8 pedals, Surly Singulator, DMR conversion kit and Ti railed WTB saddle. Wheels are 26" Tiagra rims on Shimano hubs with Specialized Armadillo tyres.

I've slung on a basic caliper and lever so that someone can ride it away.

This was my first foray into full sized SS bikes and although it is not a refined or stylish beast, it is pretty light and very nice to ride. I've had a kiddy seat fixed to it for the past couple of years so it has seen only very light duty to and from the park. I'm after £110 for it, but the buyer will need to collect it from SE23 by the end of this week. Cheers.

Mrlemon

Second dibs for a mate who isn't on the forum if this falls through. I will come and pay/collect. PM me if it falls through.

Cheers,

Ali.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
