Offered: Post Crash Frame - 50% goes to the forum

I know there has been some interest in post crash frames on here in the past so here goes....

52 cm track frameset custom made by BLB in Columbus Spirit tubing. Columbus Spirit is the lightest tubing – which means it's made of fucking tinfoil and you can guess what happens if you crash. Both frame and fork significantly damaged.

As far as I can see this is only of interest to the aspiring frame builder who wants to practice welding, repairs... or recycle the track ends for some conversion project. BLB, who made the frame, doesn't want to repair it. Bob Jackson, who have only seen an image by email, reckon a repair will cost £300. I give you no guarantee that Bob Jackson would stick to that price if they see the frame in person. In conclusion, any attempt to restore this to it's former glory it is entirely at your own risk and cost.

I'd hate for this bike to resurface as a dodgy repair and rattle can job. So I reserve the right to refuse if I don't know who you are. Aaaand... dibs is shit.

No idea what this might be worth. Make an offer? Will donate half to the forum. It's depressing to look at so will probably chuck it out if I have no takers within a week or so.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
