Anyone selling a beater steel single speed frame with decent tyre clearance? 55cm ish

Might have a Fuji track classic Frameset for sale soon if I get round to having a clear out . Seatpost stuck though .

Might be interested depending on the price

wow. love that. dibs if you ever sell

Something like 50£, with cranks and Frameset . Can chuck in a box and post for £10 probably . I’ve onlnridden 25s in it but can fit more I’d guess

2nd if this falls though!

@tallsam i know you're staying up late thinking about the status of my bike so I'm going to post an update

went with much more sensible bars

A good friend threw me an ultra solid dmr fork last night too which I threw on. Haven't chopped it yet, so strategically hid the over 6 inch stack with my magic picture taking.

Fork looks good, like a bmw v2

Stolen from facebook:

Can't go wrong with orange and blue bikes.

Nice! Reminds me that I have a pair of them DMR forks somewhere too!

All yours

Will pm you later after work

Sweet. Which bars did you go with in the end?

noice! is that a cinelli?

Feel like the cotterpin is due a comeback, anyone else?

the good thing about a cotter-pin on a rat is that if the crank/axle interface fails mid-ride you can wallop the pin back in with a stone or likewise to get you where your going-I speak from experience.
Ideally it shouldn't fail in the first place mind....

Holy shitballs!

Love that.

For some of us it never really went away...
