For Sale: Neil Orrell Track Frameset 58cm.

Hi again.
Also for sale is this frameset by Neil Orrell.
Based on the 531 decal, built between '89 and '94.
I think this is the most beautiful Orrell ever made. He'll probably want to buy it back. I'll probably want to buy it back. So it goes. It's got a good number of scuffs but I've always been way to fond of the original paint to do anything about them. I've kept an eye on the exposed metel, no deep rusting, just age and experience.
I don't know. I love this thing. The forks are so lovely. The bendy tube is so lovely. The triple triangle is so lovely. The lugs are so elegant and unpretentious, and so lovely.
sigh.... it for sale.

measurements in cm and centre to centre.
ST - 58.5, 62 to top
TT - 59
HT- 16.5
English BB
Wheel Base - 96
Stack - about 56
The top tube has a very gentle forward downward slope. Perhaps that makes it a lo-pro.
Comes with bb. no headset.

In London. Collection in east London
Price: £450 - again, if I'm way off, or a little off, let me know. obviously offers are welcome.

This is a beautiful, beautiful, frame and forks.

@haveo save this

Bloody 'ell, that's so good!

Fuck this is good, never seen one with a curvy tube before. glws

In terms of dating it, I think mine had the year stamped on the fork steerer if I remember correctly. Might be worth looking.

How is this still for sale ?
Would love to own one of these but this one is far too big for me.

Ok. I'm not beside it now but will do. By rough date was based on the years that the 531 sticker was used

sooo good, but can't afford it

Good lord if only I had space and a budget for another bike, GLWS

Pm'd, it's beautiful!!

Any pictures of it built up?

Cheers for that. Space does seem to be an issue :)

I have one pic of it built up on a different computer from this one on which I type. Will try to get it Monday evening or Tuesday.

cheers

Thanks dude.
Yeah, I've never seen one either. Some really ace dude must have commissioned it. in another era. obviously. sorry, just have visions of the early '90s Manchester track scene in my head now.

oeff how is this not sold in a instant
Very nice

oh man this is so nice and in my size...wish I hadn't blown my bike allowance for this year already. And by allowance I mean, number of bikes/parts I can buy without my GF noticing.

Hey. Thanks for positive feed back.
Pic of it built up. Please forgive me the caution at the front of the bike. I simply didn't feel safe in wet weather. Funny eh, riding in the rain brakeless is soooooo fun, but really at its most unsafe too. So it goes with so much in life I guess.
Anyway.

I feel that. It is not a bike that goes un-noticed.

Hello. Good morning.
The frameset is provisionally sold, and I get the impression to a really good home. So that's nice.

who's going to be the lucky owner of this awesome frame?

What a frame!

my guess would be @Creek_Tebsin

@Green_Wheels pmed

I'm afraid so.. I promise to treat her nicely though and I'll start a CP thread as soon as I start the build. Will have a few hhsb bits and pieces from splitting my dosnoventa for sale soon to afford to do this build justice..

Looks DDG
And nimble as a limo squirrel, I imagine.
