Looking to sell this, either as one, or in pieces, like my soul. I imagine it's probably one for fleabay though, as y'all have taste.

Frame is a second hand old charge if I remember, matte black, 22". Could do with a sand down and respray as it has a few scratches/chips from use, but purely cosmetic, sturdy as ever (no dents) This, the saddle, stem and brake lever are second hand, the rest all brand new.
The best thing about this ride is the Wheelset: Velocity deep v gold rims, laced with black DT Swiss spokes, to Sturmey archer hubs (front black, 120mm flange, 36H / rear black, S3X - 3 speed fixed gear! POW. Nice for training. 36H - comes with bar end shifter - have the original box at my brother's house if required)
Dia Compe BRS 101 gold front brake - just fitted a new brake cable and lost the cable end tidy, will grab another
Originally built on the cheap for living in Scotland, where there's ACTUAL hills, then the job moved back to London/Cambridge so the gearing is a little redundant and wanting to build up something more suitable, as it's only had a month or so use.
Looking for £250 ideally as the wheelset alone was over £200, it's nice to be optimistic, but contact me if you're interested, or about splits, I'm open to ideas.

I have a s3x, black (currently mounted on gold deep v velocity, with black dt swiss spokes - but up for potentially splitting) 36H with a matching 120mm flange black SA hub laced to the same setup - except this rim has machined walls.
It works pretty well as a geared system, I used it for a month while I was up in scotland (the reason I built it up in the first place!) but now I've had to move back to Cambridge/London for work so it's not really as much use here - alas!
Took a few rides to get properly set up and adjusted, but works smoothhhhhh.
Photos if anyone's interested.

Oh man, just saw this! Was totally itching to set this up in Cambridge - so much more interesting to see how you fare against other fixed riders. Now I've moved to France for a couple months. What a tit. Hold the QOM title for me until I get back?

I imagine you wouldn't have waited around THIS long to get back in the saddle, but in case you were still in the market - I have a s3x, black (currently mounted on gold deep v velocity, with black dt swiss spokes - but up for potentially splitting) will check it's 120mm, but fairly sure it is.
I've got the matching front hub, black too, laced to the same set up.

Price drop... £200
