  (19/11) still for sale, lower price!

  Hi, I’m sadly parting with my bike as I’m not using it anywhere near enough to justify keeping it. Built it from scratch with a friend back in 2011, rose it almost daily for a year and then got a job that was too far from my house. Been barely used since.

  N15 pickup!

  • The original black Brother Cycles fully lugged track frame, 57cm
    -The wheels where custom built by a friend of mine (cannot remember the brand for the life of me!)
    
  • It has a Brick Lane Bikes King Hub on the back, bought it circa 2012.
    
  • Clipless MBT pedals and if you’re a size 10, you can have the shoes obvs. I’ve barely done 60 miles with these pedals/shoes
    
  • I only properly used the bike to go to work and back for a year, and I haven’t ridden it in over 4 years.
    
  • I’ll throw a free polyester covered chain lock with both keys.
    
  • I’ll put a picture with the cost of the frame + the components I got it with.
    
  • Normal scratches from usage but no dents or anything significant anywhere on the bike.
    
  • It just needs a little love, standar maintenance and a good clean!
    
  • If you want more pictures, let me know! And sorry for the spider webs on the back wheel!
    
    

  Edit: the break doesn’t exist anymore, please do get one tho!!

  £300 ONO (lowered the price)

  thanks a lot. This thread is incredible.

  You're not serious right? Go to the first page of this thread (again), and look carefully at the list. There is a link for Frames and Frame Makers, and since this forum was originally all about single speed and/or fixed-gear riding, then the lists only deal with those very frames. There's also the Track OTPs list, which gives you built bikes from manufacturers, but I'm sure frame only deals are very possible.

  Hi, underneath that las post i did i wrote in brackets how i realised how stupid my question was. really sorry to piss u off twice, and i apologize again this time for not making myself clear. cheers.

  It was the warehouse site that I was looking at before when I realised it would cost the same to import one.
  Boliche, any chance you can speak korean?

  hehe no mate, but they speak pretty good english, a guy called Sean was in contact with me, and for the website use google chrome and it translates it to eng (as much as possible lol).

  How much was it?

  As I see it:

  Challenger = 159,000 won = £88 + $40 shipping = £112 + 20% VAT = £135
  Program = 139,000 won = £77 + $40 shipping = £112 + 20% VAT = £121

  Is it much cheaper than that?

  Its pretty much the same actually, you're right, but wherehouse have allllll the colors and sizes, and models, etc in stock so there's no need for waiting around fot TF to get them in and you have loaddddss more choice too.
  and for some reason I didnt pay any VAT on it, the koreans sent me a price (that sounded funny) i paid it and got my bag. maybe i just got lucky.

• What should I buy? Frame wheels cranks bars tyres mudguards grips pedals spokes bike

  I also have a question!
  I'm currently riding fixed with no brakes on a road frame (and i keep hitting the pedal on the floor and being close to killing myself) and am planning on getting a track frame.
  The grand dilemma is: Leader 725 -- Tokyo Fixed Gear's S2 -- or the BLB track frame ????
  Opinions, plusses and cons would really help a lot!! Im not very educate in bike geometry so if mentioned I'd appreciate simpleness :) (i dont really care about looks btw)
  Thanks a lot!

  I'm thinking of getting a fixie to get around London but I hate carrying a rucksack - any advice on where I can but one with a rack for panniers? (I know it ruins the look!)

  Beth

  Carter at the bicycle library has some cool fixies with racks, baskets and all sorts, its worth checking it out just for fun, really cool place!

  Hi all, just got my messenger t-level from wherehouse.co.kr and the shipping fees plus the price of the bag is exactly the same as TF, but TF are out of stock on everything and as much as they say i dont see any stock coming back anytime soon lol, so you might as well get it from Korea, it's legit i can verify it and it only took 6 days to get to me and it was trackable up to the name of the person who signed for the bag.
  just save up, buy your bag and some more goodies from wherehouse and ask for combined shipping (a lot of stuff is very good and very cheap) and voila you got your bags and a bunch of good cheap bits and bobs like the carabiner thingy with the three keyrings (which i got and its brilliant).
  Hope it helps guys!!
