So the time has come to get rid of some of the bikes which don't get used, all have been used previously quite a lot and probably not given that much love if I'm honest. All are in good ridable order. I would rather not post, but if you can persuade me to I will. Viewings and collection from Camberwell SE5.
I've priced the bikes roughly, I struggle remembering how much I paid for things, but I think these are reasonable….
Donations to the Forum will be made after sales.
First up is Rixon Track bike, I bought this from @bmx_fred about a year ago. Since then, I've changed the cockpit set up a few times, its currently set up fixed with two brakes and super wide bars (probably too wide tbh) I've got loads of bars which can be changed to suit the buyer.
It features ratty Flite saddle, Campag headset and chainring, BLB forks which could do with a re spray, currently have a very light rattle can job. The rear brake bridge was added by Ryan from Oak. MKS pedals, cages (some surface rust) and nice leather straps. Could do with new tyres for the winter, but otherwise in is a good daily beater with proper track clearances and handling.
ST C to C - 56
TT C to C - 55.5
£280 price drop £270
Secondly is a Mercian 'King of Mercia', this was bought off the forum, from James1234. He said it had a n interesting story, never told it to me though! Haven't really used it since it came into my possession. Needed some serious TLC when I got it, I've given it some but it could do with more. The TT has a few dents, not something that bothered me to much and between the CS and BB there is some rust, I have wired brushed that up and checked it not structural, I don't believe it is.
Has a nice Leather Rolls Saddle, basically brand new Conti touring tires, mismatching wheels, but both are true, strong and spin well. MKS pedals, cages and straps, vintage campag Derailleur, new sun race rear block, tecktro leavers, crescent bars (again these can be changed to buyers choice), vela orange cork grips.
ST C to C - 57
TT C to C - 56
Another good bike, that rides well and is easily lockable around town without worrying about it too much!
£250 , PRICE DROP £240
Thirdly, my other halfs Harry Quinn town bike. I bought this for her last year, its had a fair amount of use, but she wants a brompton now so this has to go.
Its been locked up all over the place without much care taken and therefore has a few scrapes and scratches. All rust is just surface and not structural. I haven't maintained this bike at all since buying it and consequently it could do with a tune up (brakes, gears and chain lube). Newish Kenda tyres, charge saddle and velo orange grips compliment the blue paint job. I always liked the TT bend which makes this bike stand out from others. F&R mud guards are much appreciated by girls with nice clothes.
FACT: Jason Rourke's first bike was built by Harry Quinn, but obviously had Rourke stickers on it!
