  • hey everyone,

    it's been awhile for me posting - but am currently in process of selling all my bits so i can get my mitts on something cinelli/14/otherwise pimp. please buy my shit!! all items available for collection near kensington olympia. payments in cash only please.

    Orbit LoPro - 531 - 54x52
    I'm selling this complete, please don't bother dibs'ing bits of it because i'm going to do everything in my power not to split it up. it's too much of a pain in my ass.

    Purple Orbit 531 LoPro 54x52 - lugged steel with Reynolds stickers
    H+Sons Formation rims, rear laced to SJSC double-fixed (one side never used) - front laced to BLB high-flange track hub. Both roll infinitely smooth still. Rear tyre is an ultra gatorskin, front is a continental GP 650.
    Sugino Messenger (RD2) crankset from a Charge plug with a brand new RD2 BB
    Gusset half-link chain
    Geared 42x17 for a delightfully easy ride (it was my Sunday best bike)
    MKS Sylvian track pedals with BLB double gate clips and double straps in leather.
    Charge Spoon saddle with a brand new seatpost (can't remember the brand)
    New quill and headset from BLB (not their own, but the names escape me, Harry?)
    Nitto risers with an inch off either side with some purple kierin grips
    Dirty harry lever with a shimano front brake, RH

    This thing has less miles on it than an 18 year-old catholic girl - it's probably done about 36 - 25-odd for the circle line ride in feb. and two trips from mine to Chiswick's edges. All miles have been dry, and it's been stored with the utmost of care.

    I'm looking to get 650 for this as 90% of it is new, it's in incredible nick and i'm going to beat myself for letting me depart with it. If you're not good at sizings - particularly because i'm not too good with providing information - i'm 5'10 and a touch and it's perfectly suited for me. Does my back in after 25 miles - but I think that's about expected of a LoPro. Someone could probably get away with riding this at as short as 5'8 i'm guessing. I've also got some tensioners for this (as it's a conversion - not that I've actually needed them as it's been rock solid - and the half-link chain won't stretch too much) that i will throw in with this if the buyer is concerned about the conversion. they're by our very-own Tristoo - and they've never been fitted. You can see them depicted below in the photos of all the bits.

    Some other shit!

    Right - below you'll find:

    • Wonky winnerman / forumla front wheel from a Fuji 09 - it's totally out of true but can certainly be fixed. Hard to depict. 10gbp
    • Stock Fuji bars with the tape removed - never ridden (i personally hate these) 5gbp
    • Stock Fuji Velo saddle - perhaps 50mi in it - 5gbp
    • Stock Fuji pedals - never ridden - 5gbp - gone to Canadian
    • Ritchey MTB SPD pedals - never ridden - no cleats - 5gbp gone to Canadian
    • Stock Fuji 15t cog - 5gbp
    • Surly 21t cog - 8gbp (because it cost so bloody much, soz, polo anyone?)
      and
    • Tristoo tensioners - if the loPro buyer doesn't want them, then i'll let the pair go for 10gbp

    Thanks guys - if you don't like the items - just keep it to yourself, the reason i stopped reading this forum on the regular is because i can't stand the banal arguments that occur over the stupidest thing. That being said, help me get a pimp new whip x

  • dibs fuji pedals!

  • second dibs pedals

  • i'd love to take these pedals of u:MKS Sylvian track pedals with BLB double gate clips and double straps in leather. i know u said no stripping but got to try

  • nabz - if i have to - i'll split it up - but at the moment they're not for sale on their own. thanks for the interest.

  • Pic of the lo-pro side on would be helpful to give folks a better idea of the geo.

  • Sorry matty, the top picture is it from the side? Or do you mean laying on it's side?

  • if u decide to ssplit could u pm me please.........

  • thank u....

  • No, the top pic is at an angle. I mean directly from the side, no angle. It's impossible to tell the saddle to bar drop from that pic.

  • aaaand just like that - hope this helps - sorry for the confusion.
