For Sale: Frame Bonanza + BB + crankset

HI guys,

for sale my beloved Princess Mononoke. I have been riding her fixed for the last 2 1/2 years.
I bought this frame when I was living in Provence and the guy I bought it off gave me a stack of ride certificates that he won on this bike starting from 1969 when he bought it new until 1984.

I am selling it with BB + crankset because I don't have the tools to take it apart. Therefore I don't know the conditions of the bearings. The only thing I know is that it rides really well.

The thing this frame really really needs is to be stripped and powder coated.
It has quite a lot of rust and scratches.

No dings!

The crankset brand is SR and it says Melt Forging on the side. Talking with the guy @ London Fields Cycles that replaced the bearings last year is a brilliant set.

The BB apparently is made for Campagnolo Ceramic bearings. However, I asked for normal bearings to be fitted as I didn't know (and still don't) about the improvements of using ceramic over steel.

I think the size is 49cm (read the edit at the end of the post) but don't trust my word on it. I am 5' 9 and I needed the seatpost to be right at the top to have a comfy ride.

Not sure about how much is worth.
I would start by saying £SOLD considering it comes with fork + BB + crankset.

BTW when I bought it, it had Bonanza stickers that I removed. However, the wheel plugs say Brev. Campagnolo so, again, I don't know.

PS. If somebody tells me how to measure it I will post the exact size.

EDIT:

I did a rough measurement to be considered +/- 5%.

Center of the bottom bracket to the meeting point with the center tube 52cm.
Center of the bottom bracket to the very top of the tube 54cm.

Thank you coppiThat !

Still one to go:

One frame + BB + headset + crank + pedal + 46 tooth (very cheap) chain ring
Brand: create (rebadged unipak)

Condition: fairly new no dings, few scratches.

For sale for a tenner + a can of beer tomorrow night at the circle line ride (lol)

the measurement is taken from the centre of the bottom bracket running up the seat tube to either the very top or to the centre where it meets the top tube (apex). give both as different people have different ideas on frame measuring. hope that helps.

sorry if i missed something

Ok, new price... 100£

Don't quite know what a sager drive shaft is. Going to look into it. :)

sager = no chain

That looks so cool... I rather have a chain though..
Are they any better to ride?

they were tempermental apparently. there have been other experiments of shaft drive bicycles in more recent years. muji had one roughly ten years ago,,, just checked and its more like twenty.
i think this is it (or its definitely the way i remember them), though it looks like its had a little front on collision

Hi Guys,
a friend gave me a frame for 20£ so this is now up for 20£.

I have to get rid of a purple create ( rebadged unipak) frame that I used for 250 miles also up for a tenner.

Pick up preferably today in east London. Bow/Hackney/London fields/Stratford.

My room is full of f***king bikes I can't even walk to the door!!!
