little more money, but anything is better than winstanleys: http://www.ridelow.co.uk/fuji-couriertrack-bike-p-1109.html

Yeah I noticed this, I think I will go for it, I'd rather pay a bit more and not take the apparantly very high risk

This is sold out in 54...56 it has though

08 preferred... the cheaper the better basically

Size?

54

What's the part that you want?
I can virtually guarantee that we can find it in another UK shop.

Looking for a fuji track! Not a particularly specific request, but they don't have my size in evans (apprantly in any evans in the UK) and its >£60 more dear there anyway..

well i rang up to check the bike was in stock, because i've heard they don't always stock what the website says, and they told me they did have it in, but I've since read posts that said even when you ring and they tell you they have the bike in stock, after you've paid..it transpires they don't have it...

Anyone had any dealings with them? I've read mixed reports on here and on bikeradar, quite a few problems with sending wrong size/wrong model.. I'm hesitant to use them but they are the only place I can find with the bike I'm after "in stock", in the size I'm after...and they are cheap

So please let me know your experiences... I searched titles and there is no other thread like this with a name specifically related to winstanleys... but I am aware there are mentions of winstanleys within other threads, so no need to reiterate that fact.

Yeah that would be very useful actually. I'll write u a pm

Hmm, just went to the one @rathbone place, the guy was very helpful and chatty, but he reckons there will be no fuji tracks at evans stores until mid may. Tempted by the 2008 model from winstanleys at ~295, but without being able to try for size am dubious. I am usually a 56 road bike (and a 56 for a pinnacle bachelor no1..) but I guess a track bike is a different kettle of fish

I tried the one in waterloo and he was a grumpy sod actually, said that it wasn't worth it, i'd need to buy a brake etc, plus they had none made up, "maybe i got one somewhere in a box".. do they price match to internet sites or does it have to have a store?

Cheers

Does anyone know where they stock these in london? As in have them build and will let you test them? I want to get one but am unsure what size to buy.. ta

This is still for sale!
second_bad_vibel pulled out ( i think )!

Hey man! Its dibbed for you here, although if someone contacts me via gumtree to meet before the weekend, I'm not going to turn them down...but if you can meet before then you have full dibs! And I will be in London bridge tomorrow, so it might be easier to meet there? I will pm you more details.

Bump: New photos are up. I admit the red bike on red floor isn't so clear, and I only had my 3.2 mp phone to take pictures, but they are better than before

Similar bike for sale here, again ~58cm

I'll take the pedals.. Can pick up tonight

fair comment, will put them up tomorrow. You can see these pics in higher res at http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/jimrperkins/BikesForSale

Frame is pretty sturdy, and has some nice detail, but the paintwork is somewhat chipped.... Not really sure how much it's worth, most the other single speeds on gumtree are going for more but they may have better components...

http://www.gumtree.com/london/79/37283979.html

I'm looking to sell it because its just a bit too big for me.. I have a 56 racing bike which is just perfect... but if anyone has something similar that would fit me and wants to trade/part ex even better...

Cheers

Sorry, you´re right, I want a working wheel! I will have a go at the hubs out of interest, but there is quite a lot of give, and it doesnt look simple from what i´ve read

Couple of guys in Mechanics and fixin think it is the hubs...and probably unsalvageable... so if anyone has an old rear rim which DOESNT wobble, im still interested!

Is this salvageable? The bike cost 70 quid and is pretty old so Im not adversed to buying a new wheel... or if anyone has upgraded recently and has an old one for sale I started a wanted thread in classifieds ;)

Just bought my first single speed, but we have a problem.. it wobbles as I cycle, particularly coasting downhill. My friend thinks its a problem witht he wheel, with the hub perhaps. However I´ve also heard it might be a trueness problem:

when i turn the bike upside down there is signficance give, like if I hold the wheel so that its not turning, i can wobble it from side to side, would trueness problems cause this, or in the case of trueness problems, would the wheel still be stable at the hub, it would just move around as you turn the wheel...?
