Size 56 frame, aluminium with carbon forks. Branded and sold new to me by Graham Weigh bikes. New rear Halo flip flop wheel and brand new Mavic Aksium front wheel with all new bits used in the build apart from Shimano HT2 XT cranks.
New old stock Shimano Ultegra front brake caliper mated to a BMX lever.
No dents, no scratches. A fantastic bike.
Pedals and saddle not included. Could swap the saddle for a new OEM saddle.
Manchester pick up (sorry I'm not in London anymore :( )
£290

That's insane :( those are stunning bikes.
Someone mentioned the police are useless. Sadly the police don't have resources ready to go at the drop of a hat. They are often tied up with a queue of mental health, concerns, missing people, robberies, burglaries, prisoners, filework, car crashes, fights, criminal damage, sickness cover, training, stabbing, etc etc etc.
All with minimal staffing.

I have another caliper- I'll just have to buy another lever
-
Yes it's clamped onto the bar when I hold the calipers in whilst pulling on the cable (adjustor lever at the widest setting)

OK it's been probably a decade and technically speaking it's not yet fixed gear but after two weeks after I've got used to the angles again I'll change from flip flop 16/38 to first 16 fixed 38 then 16/46..
Built using a new rear Halo Aerorage wheel, new/old stock Dolan Precursa/FXE and a mix of shed parts and new lever and front tyre.
The brake blocks were brand new from the shed!
Front wheel a brand new Aksium Elite wheel from the shed etc.
One question. I've never fitted cable brakes before- how come the caliper keeps springing back one when I try setting the pads, pre cable tightening and holding the blocks/calipers to the rim?
Wide bars too wide for stability? I've got 42cm drops and spare tape also. I don't care about fashion etc. Just what works best.

Hi when are you in Altrincham next and are you flexible on the price? I'd replace the wheels and probably repowdercoat due to the scrapes etc.

I've got a front wheel and at a push I could do a wheelset.
It'll need to be flip flop and light yet still durable.
NOT carbon or deep rim
What would you recommend?
