For Sale: Custom 853 Donohue Track Bike/Phil Wood/Record

I am selling my beloved track bike for £700

The frame is a custom Reynolds 853 built by Paul Donohue, with a hand-built fork from Bonavia cycles that was designed to support the original geometry of the frame.
Top tube 55cm c-t-c
Seat tube 52cm c-t-c
Wheelbase 95cm
The frame has a few small cosmetic dings and the decals/ paintwork is not brand new but is generally in good condition for a used frame. Mostly, this frame was ridden on an indoor track and has had about a year of being ridden on the street (with a couple of years of sitting in my room on top).
The fork was repainted and is in excellent condition.
This frame is an excellent, responsive track frame and exceptionally nippy ride if you wanted to ride it on the road.

The wheel set is hand-built. These wheels are in very good condition. The bearings are like new.
Phil Wood low flange black track hubs (fixed/free) 32 hole.
Ambrosio Excellight Rims Silver
DT Swiss double butted Spokes
Prolock Nipples

Campagnolo Record Cranks 165
Specialities TA chainring 46 tooth in very good condition
Tifosi Bottom Bracket in very good condition
18 tooth generic rear sprocket in very good condition
Phil Wood lockring
KMC chain in very good condition
90mm Pro stem
Tiagra front brake (new pads) in excellent working order
New cable
I will provide a track bar if required taped with brand new lizard skins bar tape at no extra cost
DOES NOT include seatpost or saddle pictured (I am selling the saddle separately though)

I am selling this bike so I can build up my new Oak Cycles 29er!

If you are interested or want to see it pm me. It is in the window at look mum no hands at the minute so i can arrange to let you ride it.

I may consider breaking it down to parts if there is no interest in the whole bike in the future.
