Dropped the price of the Condor again...tis now £300. Someone must need a cheeky christmas pressie for themselves?

Woodrup now sold!

I'm interested in the Woodrup if the above-mentioned sale falls through.

No worries, i'll keep you in mind, although its a friend who's interested already and he's pretty keen!

Woodrup potentially sold pending payment.

Yeah i did ride both of these. I'm 6ft, but i've got a 34" inside leg. It seems that a 60cm frame is ideal for me, which is what i've got now. Shame, as i really do love these 2, but they're just not quite right for me!

Monday morning price drop bump. Shaved a cool 20 notes off each one. Someone must want one of these?

Condor is buffting. shame it's so massive!

Pretty sure you could still ride it...nice little beater for ya? G'waaan.

No takers huh? How about a cheeky price drop bump on both...£410 for the Woodrup and £330 for the Condor.

Bike can be viewed at Fitzrovia Bicycles, 136-138 New Cavendish St, W1W 6YD.

I don't actually know too much about this frame unfortunately. The person I bought it from thought it was 1970s perhaps, but i'm not sure. I guess the decals could pin point it's origin, any help on that is appreciated! Tubing wise, again i'm not too sure...although it's very light for a big frame; easily as light as a 653 frame i had. Nice, tight clearances, a joy to ride.
Again, a few scratches and scrapes here and there, but no dings or dents.

Seat tube 62 c-t, top tube 54 c-c (yes, that's not a mistake...very short, hence the 120mm stem)

Bit of a random mix of parts on this one:
105 hubs and Mavic Reflex CD finish rims (these were all NOS when i built them about 6 months ago...note, front hub is a slightly older 105 than rear)
Conti GP4000 brown sidewall tyres
Tiagra triple chainset, with matching BB and front mech.
XT rear mech (to accommodate a wide ratio at the back)
Sora 9 speed shifters
105 calipers
3T status stem
Cinelli Vai handlebars
Genetic seatpost
Selle Italia silly gel flow saddle
All new cables
Again, pedals can be switched for something more suitable if need be.

Was £300, now £280 ono, now £250 or make me an offer! No dibs, first come, first served (more pics attached)

2 for me. Why not.

sold!

Nice one. I'll be leaving at 4 today, but I'll prep the other guys here.

I bought this off of ebay about a month ago, but after building and riding it, i've decided that i really don't get on with lo pros. Balls.

Sizewise, it's a 60cm seat tube c-t, with a 59cm top tube...although it rides more like a 57/58. Takes 700c wheels front and rear, with 130mm rear spacing.
Condition is really good, and the lovely icey blue paint is practically immaculate. Haven't spotted any dings or dents.
Takes 27.2 seatpost.
Has a brand new Tange cartridge bearing headset fitted.

I've attached a pic of how i had it built, you can see that the slope of the top tube isn't too extreme.
But here's the original ebay listing, with more pics.

Looking to get what i paid, which was £270 ono.

It's at Fitzrovia Bicycles for anyone who wants to come and have a closer look.
No dibs, first come first served. Would prefer not to have to post, but we'll see how it goes.

Now sold.

Should be in from 8, although if I'm not there then one of the other guys can assist!

Mega price drop bump. £300
This must be a bargain for someone?

So, no interest then hey? How about a price drop to £330. G'waaan.

I bought this frame fairly recently on t'bay, with the intention of restoring it. Funds haven't really allowed such an extravagance, so I thought i'd put it together as a sort of beater road bike with the random selection of Shimano parts I had lying around. Consequently, I've not ridden it, and I need holiday money, so it's up for grabs!

The frame itself is fairly tatty looking, but seems totally sound, with no dings or dents. There are some typically nice features, as you'd expect from a Ron Cooper frame, including circular cutouts in the lugs and some lovely shaped seat stays. The eBay seller I bought it from had done a bit of research into the frame; the serial number is 907, and Ron himself confirmed that he would have built it during the late 70s with 531 tubing.
Sizes are: Seat tube 61 c-c (so about 62.5 c-t), top tube 57.5 c-c.

And here's a list of the parts:
Ultegra 10 speed STIs (fairly battered, but still work just fine)
Tiagra rear mech
Campag veloce front mech
105 compact double 50/34 (with new chainrings - less thn 200 miles)
Ultegra BB
R600 (ultegra level long drop) calipers
Ultegra front hub and tiagra rear hub built into 'Cosmic Blue' Open Pros
105 cassette and chain
Gatorskin tyres
3ttt stem and Deda drops
SR Laprade seatpin w/ no name saddle
Horrible platform pedals (I originally put these on as a temporary measure, I have a selection of pedals that i can fit instead; straps and cages/SPD/Look etc)

I know it's not the prettiest of builds, and the groupset is a bit mismatched, but it all works really well and should make a pretty nice beater for someone.

£350 ono

First come, first served on this. No dibsing. It's at Fitzrovia Bicycles for anyone who wants to come and take a look/ride. I'd really rather not post it, but if no one in London is interested I'll look into it.

Cheers,
Alex

horrible build, you know where this pic will end up eventually...

Sure do.

This belonged to my mate Dan, who did indeed post it to Germany. Funny, we were reminiscing about it just t'other day. Here's the build he had...i never did agree with his decision to build it with all those red parts, and i'm sure many here will agree. That said though, an amazing frame, and incredible clearances. Columbux Max as well if i remember rightly. Hopefully it looks better now.

Basically, these.

If there's anything else anyone has with a 30mm rake and a carbon steerer then I'd be interested. A lot of others seem to have at least 40mm rake, which is a bit much for what I want.

Steerer would need to be at least 25cm long, preferably a bit longer, but not by much. Don't have to be pristine, but not battered either.

Nice.

Yep! Deffo need some of those super limited edition dura ace cranks. Hen's teeth an all that.

This one is classic...
Road Bike ,Raleigh, Bob Jackson, Reynolds, Steel Frame, Duaace, Ultegra,fixie

Has probably the best looking lug lining i've ever seen, plus it has absolutely definitely, and in no way hand-stamped, "limited edition duraace embossed crank arms". Brilliant.

Dunno why I haven't posted these up here before...maybe someone else has? This is a collection of track bikes I saw when I visited the tiny bike shop my brother works in in Cape Town. They all belong to the owner, and what an incredible collection, and not a brake hole in sight, anywhere!

Slightly tatty, but amazing looking Cinelli...when he found the right NOS Campag seatpost for it he decided it looked too new, so put it in some battery acid in an attempt to match it to the rest of the bike. Nuts.

Original Hetchins. An absolute beauty, so much so I refused a test ride.

Haven't seen many proper Peugeot track frames, this one is awesome, apart from the front wheel. Crazy stem, apparently made by Chas Roberts.

Lovely Gios.

Frejus.

Fully chromed Carlton. Again, real shame about the front wheel.

This one is actually my brother's, but resides in the shop also, nicely complementing the existing collection.

Cool, no worries. I won't be in till 11 tomorrow morning. Nice one.
