Thank you !!

PS, It is a true track frame and not drilled for a rear brake !

I think Malaysian would prove that not to be true

Perhaps CycleRecycle means 'not many' want track/SS rather than no one.....or perhaps it was careless hyperbole.....some modern track frames do have oval fork blades.

This thread needs better photos... where is that thread about how to photo bikes correctly? Can't find it....

was just a quick wizz out to get some photos of the bike, didnt want a full on photoshoot. Thanks for the constructives though...

I meant 'Not many', although we have done builds for people in the city, ie Manchester and Leeds. We are based in Calderdale so its very hilly around here.

You've posted on the Leeds fixed facebook before right? should put a link to this ^ there >

And while you're at it, why not measure the top tube and seat tube!? How do you expect to sell a frame without dimensions? This is lfgss, we demand anal-retentive accuracy!

And apple crumble or pie!

BB to top of seattube - 58cm
Top tube comes with free pie ! (Havnt mesured, not in the workshop at 22:17)

Will get the top tube on tomrrow if anyone is interested, had a few PM's and people interested.

Well, I for one am much more interested in getting top tube length right: I have bikes with seat tubes from 54 to 60, but all have very similar reach...

but the pie sounds good.

Bike looks nice btw!

The top tube is the same as the BB to top of seattube, give or take 1cm. The stem is also pretty long so thats a factor to consider aswell. Thanks for the compliment skully, be sure to check us out if your local :)

Bud, give or take is no good. People want to know precise measurements if they're going to splash their cash without testing something out.
