Aah my old bike 😁 it looks great set up taller and longer. If you like how this looks you'll love how it rides.

@Retro_bastard I feel terrible selling it, although it feels good sharing it's beauty with the world. You wouldn't believe how many comments it got at the track. Such a lush bike.

Don't feel bad selling it even pretty bikes need to be ridden. I didn't ride it so couldn't justify keeping it just to look at so same as you. At least your £per mile was considerably better than mine i just worked it out and this one cost me over £20 per mile in depreciation 😩 i took the financial hit and you've added bits so whats left is a bargain for someone else.

I've used it a few times now down at Herne Hill, it certainly turns heads - though my riding is in no way doing it justice at the moment!

I've seen that one before i recognise the blue saddle. I'm sure it was listed last year as it was one of the only ones i could find for reference for pricing mine. I'm sure they were asking £1700 which is high even though it was unused at the time but I'm surprised the reserve hasn't been met yet as it still looks in lovely condition.

Such a lovely looking bike I remembered the thread and thought if anyone had fomo they could have a second bite at the apple

No possibility this frameset comes for sale again? Looking for one of these in this size

I'm still greedily holding onto this for the time being. Not getting nearly enough usage but keeping my fingers crossed that will change once my boy starts school.

No, forget about that. The more they grow old, the more time they ask. Once they go to uni, you can hope for some more time for yourself. Sell that bike. 😁
Completely understand. If it were mine I'd keep it as a wallhanger if I hadn't the time to ride it.

He did the Easter egg hunt at Herne Hill this year and (train strike permitting) we'll be down at the Grand Prix in a couple of weeks. He is being indoctrinated into liking bikes!

Good luck! I tried but he became a damned skater. 😁
Selling this gorgeous track bike after using it to get through the HHV training accreditation. I'm finding no time to use it so need to pass it on. It's by far the most handsome bike I've ever ridden and I've lost count of admiring comments. This is the original ad, and the bike is still in mint condition; it's been ridden on the track five times and a single loop round London. Also, if you're a HHV user you can take over my hook which is paid for till April 2022.
Looking for £975. Collection from Herne Hill Velodrome, Penge or I could bring it to central London if helpful. Not interested in splitting.
Frame size below. I'm 6'4'' and made it work with a long seatpost and stem, and was fine for track use, but ideally would suit someone a bit smaller.
Made a couple of tweaks from that original ad, full spec now as follows:
Look ac364 Ltd run chrome edition. Look made one short run of 3-400 of these shiny beauties via pre order before mass producing the all yellow heritage models that followed.
Frame=tange champion no2
56.5 st 57.5 tt
Fork= tange infinity chrome
Wheels= grey hplus son tb14's on ambrosio high flange polished hubs with sapim db spokes ( d-lights or race?
Hand-built by DCR wheels
Latex tubes and 25mm vittoria corsa evo cx
Chainset=blb super pista 165 mm 48t
Chain=kmc x101
Sprocket=Condor CNC 1/8" Fixed Sprocket (also have a dura ace 16t I can include)
Stem/bar=Ritchey Classic Stem 130mm Polished Stem (can switch for a shorter controltech vittese 90mm)+ritchey classic curve + fabric knurl tape (needs to be reapplied on one side)
Headset=diacompe cb-2
Saddle/post=thomson elite+san marco regal
Braking=pauls crosstopp lever and blb cnc front brake included, and will include the matching rear brake that's never been fitted
The bike is in absolute pristine condition completely unmarked anywhere, aside from a 1mm paint chip from blue stripe on the seat tube where I leaned it against a glass table (idiot).
