531c tarck bike split. 54.5x54, ratty paint but awesome. All parts up for grabs inc full TA cyclotouriste drivetrain. Updates and bargains to come.

So with heavy heart and a big tax bill I'm selling my skidder, paint is a bit rough but it's a fantastic ride and has seen miles of happy riding. All other parts available, updates to come.
All parts in E17, will post smaller items but frame is cash on collection only. Bundle deals available to those who collect and a forum donation will be made. For posted items buyer pays postage and PayPal fees. Pm's come before dibs.

Call me old fashioned but I've been on here since '08, don't buy and sell often and prefer to do face to face business. If I see that your only posts(if any) are making low-ball offers in the classifieds I'm less inclined to do business than with someone I've been on a ride with or is a known forumenger. Being a rad person trumps offering more than I've asked to hold it for you etc etc.

Frame, forks and campag headset. Tt 54.5ctc st 54tt, 531 competition tubing.
Takes 27.0 seatpost. Headset needs a service but new 2yrs ago.
Branded Taurus in a subtly sparkly purple. Paint is chipped and scratched in the usual places and a bit flakey round the top fork crown, bb and ends. Big scrape on the tt where a riders name was removed.
Threads are good, round blade fork is undrilled and clears 25c tyres
No dents or serious damage but paint has seen better days. Not been crashed while I've owned it ;)
Frame, fork & headset £120 cash. Dibs are a faff, frame goes to the first person to put cash in my hand.

Any more pics just ask. Uploading with a bad connection so will post pics in multiple posts I'm afraid.

@Lukas clamp on brake?

Will list the wheelset tomorrow once I've cleaned it a bit but it's Campag pista hubs/Ascent rims. Can't remember spoke count but was previously on a track tandem and run true albeit in need of a service(and a locknut on the rear axle).

Dibs pedals if posting.

Nice one Ed! Frame looks wicked.

@T0mg pm me

^cheers dude, has been my only fixed gear for 5yrs and loved every minute of it but it just doesn't get used as much as my more practical bikes these days.

yeah I like that. too big unfortunately.. good prices and second dibs on the pedals if yould post/find yourself around e2 bethnal green somewhere sometime

Sorry, undibs Seatpost. Slightly too short for me. Thanks!

.

Frame is back up for grabs as I cocked up the measurements :/

This time i used a steel rule and can confirm its 54.5ctc tt and 54ct st

Sorry for the confusion!!

thanks for the offer ed but I better refrain, come on people, get in!

20 January isn't far away 👀

@MCamb thanks for the headsup. Just spotted as been off-grid over holidays.
@edmundro Interested in brake, will require postage. PM incoming, thanks.

Bargain. Wish this was my size!

Have a cheeky bump. That Taurus is a beaut!

Aint it just.

As I said on your other thread, TA acoutrements (not arms) wanted! Wouldn't say no to a 47t single, say. For the gearing of the gods!
