For Sale: Burls Track and Road frame

Where did the frame fail, Sam? Just wondering what one's options would be were it to happen again.

A good question. It failed around the BB affecting the down and seat-tube. Mr Burls reckons it was a bad weld that put stress where it shouldn't have been and of course it was a very uncommon occurrence. It was properly rebuilt, with new tubes replacing those affected and a longer head-tube to accommodate a stronger setup.

You've got him confused with someone else.

heehee. i would agree it is a close call.

oh, and glws sam - looks like a bargain. glad i saw you out on it at the London Classic

Sam, Sam and Chalfie - I love you all. In different ways.

Is Grupetto a cycling club or some kind of Grindr alternative?

We love you too Mr P.

I was waiting for this to drop down the page then I could give a bump that's worthwhile, but anyhow...

bump for a great seller, easy to deal with and fantastic frame. thank you

Jealousy is an ugly thing, Andy.

The CSG forum is a pretty weird place these days....

It's Ok - Mat has perma-flounced now. Should be back to 'normal'...

TBH I feel bad I have not read the rules after all these years, so big apologies to the forum.

Ok, obligatory price drop to £565 so I can inform people that I am incorrect about the head tube on the track frame. It is 115mm and all correct as per the design diagram. I have, oops, had, three Burls (track, road and cross) and I got confused somewhere.

Couple of questions:-

Is the frame drilled for rear brake?
Would you post?

Thanks

Yes, it is drilled for rear brake.

I can post at cost. I am in NY next week, so won't be able to post until Sat 2nd weekend in May.

Both frames now gone. Glad to have sold on here rather than ebay.
