    Sorry. Up to you mate. Just sounds a bit steep. You can get a whole bike for that on ebay. But I haven't seen yours up close and don't know what tubing it is or anything.

    As I said, im happy for recommendations on pricing it. if anyone is interested, maybe it is then best my price is ignored and offers made!

    Hey everyone

    Now Sold

    I bought this off superprecise about a year ago now. Have loved it in the meantime, but had the same issue of it being a bit too small. ST is 52, TT is 57. I've not taken the bike apart yet so the pics are of it built up still. Its the frame and fork for sale, or for a little extra the BB and headset can stay in. Paint is still great, no bumps etc (ive never fallen off this one!) and it still has superprecise's decals on it.

    Looking for £SOLD for it. Can post from cardiff or deliver if I happen to be working by where you are!

    Cheers.

    (oh yeah, sorry the pics are a bit crap. Ill get some better ones)

    I've built a dozen or so mountain bikes over the last few years, but my current fix is the only road bike I've ever done. had a lot of fun though, picking out components in a new area of cycling! Hopefully be building up another soon, if I can find a suitable frame.

    Q1: Do you have fliers/spoke cards in your spokes? (y/n) No

    Q2: Which of the following do you do on your fixed-gear bike (indicate all that apply):

    • Commute/get from 'A' to 'B'.


    Q3: Do you ever use a mudguard on your fixed gear bike? (y/n)
    No
    Q4: How do you feel a mudguard affects the aesthetics of fixed gear bikes in general?

    • Disrupts/spoils/makes worse. -although they are a good practical addition

    Q5: If you get a nipple in your pork scratchings, is this lucky or unlucky?

    • Unlucky

    I have the same one as andyp. I've never used it so cant comment, but i'm quite sure its the book i leant to my friend when he put his bike together from scratch and, well, thats still in one piece!

    As for stands, my Park one is nice, and wasnt hugely expensive.

    I use a huge snap-on one I got second hand for my car restoration stuff. If you can get something like that, the quality is top-notch. I also picked up a Machine Mart Clarke one like your photo. Around the £130 mark, maybe a bit less, and brilliant for all my bike stuff that only gets light use compared to the car kit. I'd take it over the Halfords stuff I checked out in store.

    I play, or did, too. Got a mapex M 4-piece, 5000 hardware, and a mix of cymbals. Due to where im living now, the kit is stashed at my grandparents in favour of an acoustic guitar here. Must get back on it though.

    Watching these vids has got me feeling pretty inspired.
