For Sale: £500 CAAD5 Optimo Capo SS Bike Complete 56cm

where is the price or am i stupid?

Frustratingly back up for sale after waiting 2 months for collection from a forum member....

It needs to go within 2 weeks as i am moving offices - Still £500

where is the price or am i stupid?

Yes ;-)

Anyone still just want the wheels etc? I would take the frameset for £200

Will lower the bike to £450 if picked up from Oxford Street by Wednesday next week. A great bike in really good condition. Could be split for a lot more; however im off to america from 1st August.

Need this gone as it was meant to go 2 months back!

Right; I have been let down again....

£400 final offer - if picked up tomorrow; otherwise back to £450

If it was fixed it'd take it off you until my other bike was finished, would still take it if anyone has a spare fixed wheel in good nick they'd swap?

you do realise all you'd need is a new track cog.
DA track hubs....
this is a bargain.
absolute bargain.

If it is a freewheel side then I thought you can only go fixed if you locktite the sprocket as you don't have the reverse thread. Correct me if I'm wrong though.......

it is not a freewheel hub.
Its a track hub

Hubs: Shimano Dura Ace Track HB 7600

do a google search on these and come back later.
it has a bmx style freewheel attached to the track hub threads:

A standard single speed BMX style freewheel can be used on the track threads the hub. Because of the stepped down lock ring threads, not as many threads of the freewheel engage the hub threads as they would if it were threaded to an freewheel threads, however, this is not a problem since the same number of threads are sufficient to secure a track cog. The force applied to a freewheel is the same as that applied to a fixed cog of the same size, so the missing threads cause no durability issue. Also, there is never any reverse torque on the threads with a freewheel, so a freewheel actually puts less strain on the threads than a fixed cog does.

from wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_hub

all you do is remove the freewheel, put a track cog on, put a track lockring on and its a fixed bike.

I wasn't exacly being sold the fixed capabilities of this bike earlier,

I could have worded it better but I think the intention was clear. now before you go and blow a gasket have a cup of tea

Its only one sided, therefore no fixed on other side

Adam

Dura Ace 7600 track hubs are either single sided fixed or double sided fixed.
They do not make a freewheel version:

So unless they are not DA 7600 hubs, they are fixed with a SS screw on.
the seller may have bought the wheels and does not understand.
However, I am right.

alternatively i'll trade you my in perfect nick langster stock rear wheel for that DA hub after you buy it.

someone please buy this.

i would if i could.

dibs, based on picking it up tomorrow for £400, it seems too good to miss. PM coming.

If it was fixed it'd take it off you until my other bike was finished, would still take it if anyone has a spare fixed wheel in good nick they'd swap?

Think this dibs beats your dibs, waiting on reply form earlier pm from Aserto

Sorry didn't realise that was a dibs, a little ambiguous, like my murphy's not I'm bitter ;-)

No worries Basha, it wasn't that clear, still waiting to hear back yet. Might just be a short term ride so if it comes through happy to keep in touch

Sounds cool, appreciate that, thanks.

Haven't had a response from aserota so not sure quite what is happening. If he is keen for a sale today he's going to need to get in touch at some point

neither have I, maybe he's having second thoughts, or just a late riser (ooh err!)

SOLD!

Sorry Basha

SOLD!

Sorry Basha

Salt in the wounds.

I'm going out to wax £400 on strippers and cocaine tonight, I need to numb the pain.

Basha, as soon as I get my other ride up you get first dibs.

p.s. About tonight, where abouts will you be going? sounds like fun.......

Sorry for the delayed response, I started early and it's turns out £400 doesn't getyou much of either, so I'm going home, wired, and sexually frustrated. Probably make it back to watch repeats of CSI Miami.

We'll hook something up when u get your new bike!
