'Lang' 6 Day Track bike - 54cm, Colombus SL, Campag

For Sale is my lovely Track bike.

I'm selling due to having not ridden it for years after my knees got a bit dicky and its been hanging in my parent's garage ever since, unridden and unloved.

Specs:

FRAME: 'Lang' branded track frame.
Seat Tube: c - c: 54cm
Top Tube: c-c: 54cm

• Colombus SL tubing with beautiful heart shaped lugs.
  Apparently it was originally built as a 6 day frame according to Hilary Stone who I bought it off a good while ago.
  It is in pretty scrappy condition tbh. The years in my parents garage have meant that the Lang decals have crumbled and really need to to be taken off completely. (if anyone is interested, I have pics of the decals as they were when they were in good condition and there is a guy who makes specific decals to order - if you need I can root out who he is).
  
  

Also, one of the rear dropouts is bent. This was the case for the entire time i rode this and it was fine but did mean that I had to retension the wheel every few weeks. I think a frame builder could easily fix this but I can find out from Ryan at Oak Cycles if anyone is genuinely interested in the frame.

The paint job is also firmly in the 'chipped to fuck' category.

Underneath all this is still a fun, light and responsive frame that rides incredibly. The '6 Day geometry means that it is much more forgiving than a normal track frame and therefore great for riding on London's mean streets

Cranks: Campag Record Pista fluted crankset (170) with a Miche Advanced 48 tooth chainring. Not sure about the BB but it should work fine.

Stem: Cinelli 90mm

Bars: Cinelli Tempo

Headset: Campag Record

Seatpost: Shimano 600 aero

Saddle: Selle Italia Regal (fairly beat up but still presentable)

Wheelset:
Front: silver System EX/Ambrosio hub laced to black machined Mavic CXP33 (old conti Gatorskin included)
Rear: Black Goldtec hub laced to black machined Mavic CXP33 - 17tooth cog (old Specialized Armadillo included)

I am asking Dropped to £490 for the full bike, collected in either Golders Green NW11 or Stoke Newington N16.

Let me know if prices are off the mark or any further questions

Wow!

^ha!

I can also split this if there is demand

I might be completely wrong here, but I have a feeling that you have priced this a bit high.

fair enough, tbh Ive been out of the market for steel tarck bikes for ages and had a quick browse through classifieds to get a rough guide. I felt that for a quality built Colombus SL frame with heart lugs and 6 day geo with good quality period kit and a decent wheelset £650 seemed ok, even with a weathered paintjob but I could be overpriced here, whats more realistic?

Got a under BB shot ? And any serial ?

its at my parents house so ill see if they can take a pic, otherwise I can drop by there on the weekend

No serial number, here's a shot of the bb. The discolored paint is due to the camera flash

ok, so I might have miscalculated the value of this...how about a drop to £550?

Irrespective of the history, seems a tad on the expensive side for a beateresque frame.

Dibs Frame if splitting

BIG drop to £490.

Splitting:

Frame: Dibs Thrasher

Cranks: Campag Record Pista fluted crankset (170) with a Miche Advanced 48 tooth chainring. Not sure about the BB but it should work fine. TBC

Stem: Cinelli 90mm £20

Bars: Cinelli Tempo £20

Headset: Campag Record £40

Seatpost: Shimano 600 aero £10

Wheelset: £200

Any close ups of rear wheel please? Price if splitting? It is a flip flop, right? Thanks

Not splitting the wheelset I'm afraid and it's a fixed/fixed hub

No worries, thanks!
