For Sale: Dave Russell Track Bike £300

Selling my 55cm Dave Russell Track bike. This has been my 'other' bike for over 2 years now but the time has come for us to part ways. I don't race track anymore, nor do I want to continue the brakless fixie lifestyle that seemed so attractive in 2009.

Dave Russell F + F 55cm top tube, 55cm down tube
Rear white Velocity Deep-V laced to Alien hub 36H
Front black H+Son laced to Velocity high flange hub 36H
170mm Campag cranks with 49T Miche chainring, unknown BB
Cut down risers with white Oury grips
SR quill stem and Shimano headset
27.2mm seatpost with saddle (small tear on right hand side).
KMC chain with chaintugs.
2 x 25mm Gatorskin tyres with loads of wear left.

The frame and forks are by British Manufacturer Dave Russell. The bike has super tight clearences both front and rear, so there is some toe overlap with my current 170mm cranks. Both wheels have never seen a brake, but the forks are drilled and I'll throw in a dirty harry brake lever and Tektro caliper for those of you who value issues like safety and responsibility over style. There are a few marks on the paint, and on the white Deep V, but overall the bike is in great condition. It can be ridden away from E1, any evening or weekend.
£300

unecessary bump.
great bike.
decent enough person.
;)

bargainous also.

Thats a really great looking frame... I def shouldn't buy any more bikes, nope...

BARGAIN.

(if you consider splitting, id take wheels, seatpost and cranks) But shouldn't come to that!

or Chris do it, and I'll buy some of the bits of you.simples!

If you split, I'd be interested in the frame...

But really someone should just snap it up as is!

this bike allows you to rock on track in the wifebeater look:

nooooooo!!!!

sad to see it go

Cheers for the nice messages guys. Come summer I'm really going to miss this bike, I'm sure.

@Henners - I'm pretty sure I'm coming second in that photo. Actually, scratch that, Mike C had already finished and I'm third. (Ahh, those were the days)
@rik -You'll be happy to know the money is going into a new polo bike. No more long rides to Cambridge for me!
@Multi Grooves - The recent snow gave me a new found respect for brakes. Who would have thought!
