Hi guys,
Shopping around for a mate who wants a complete bike in the £200-300 price range with a Dolan (or similar) aluminium track frame 56cm seat tube ctc.
Thanks for looking

The thing that surprised me was that Singapore Air that I'm flying with would charge $50US/kg for the first 6kg for a bike as checkin baggage from the Euro to Singa leg, then another fee for the Singa to Aus leg. It could be free if you can keep it within your total 20kg checkin baggage limit for economy class. Some airlines differ for sports equip. I'm going to miss the access to cheap Dolan frames. Maybe there might be some good value Aus track frames? I digress..

I'm shipping stuff back to Aus at the moment and Seven Seas had a buy 1 get 1 free deal for tea chests at £70. My search found they were also cheapest for shipping bikes for £94. Thought about just shipping the frame but I reckon it's still at least £60 so I've decided to regrettably sell my fixie or at least the frame and wheelset which can't fit in a tea chest. Plus I didn't want to risk getting stung with a surprise quarantine fee and I look forward to building up another bike over there.

Do you need rims too, as I have a cheap wheelset?

I have a Dolan 7005 Alu track frame in 56 if you're still interested?
Was going to post it up for sale soon as it's too exxie for the bother of shipping it back with me to Aus.

Got myself a set too, however my current 122mm BB obviously put the chainline way off even when I switched the chainring to the inside of the crank arm.
So should I go for the recommended 103mm Sunrace BB or go with a better quality 107mm as there's a lot more choice for the same price range.
I'm assuming the effective difference from the recommended 103mm is only 2mm in the chainline which is quite marginal seeming that a couple of you guys got it working with a 107mm? Apologies in advance if I sound a little pedantic on getting a perfect chainline :)

Hey guys,
Anyone have a black chainset/crankset 46T 165mm for under £40 available to sell?
Thanks for looking.
Hey Jed, just a little tip, the guys on this forum are pretty clued up on their gear, hence the not so welcoming responses :) Don't expect to get back the money you spent as I recently sold a bike a few hundred less than what I spent - just how the used goods market operates... Or try your luck on gumtree
