wow,
i don't get this. a friend of mine calls me and says; they are talking about you again on lfgss.com, ppl are putting comments on my flickr pictures. guys I've not been here since months, i don't buy or active sell on this forum accept react on ppl who are looking for frames or parts. i'm not going to excuse myself for what i do, i buy and sell via marktplaats a public place where you and i can buy and sell, i don't force ppl to sell there stuff to me nor buy stuff from me. you guys use this great forum to get your cheap buys . but don't treat me like i'm a scam, i sell great stuff for good prices, you get the parts what you pay for and i have a lot of satisfied customers in Holland on this forum and all over the world. and yes i did made my mistakes starting a year ago, sorry for the ppl who i "hurt" with that. but can we now go on and use this treat for what its meant for, to put you're ebay and marktplaats finds.
now,lets all have a great ride today!!!
Indeed there is nothing wrong with buying and selling via a public 2nd hand place such as marktplaats. making a business out of buying stuff one day and selling it the next on a different site is plain lame tho. A shame for cycling enthusiasts with 1. not too much money to spend or 2. looking for bikes/parts they have been wanting for a long time, which are not for sale in shops anymore. People who are actually going to RIDE/USE these parts/bikes. Imo it's a damn shame these people in Holland miss out on stuff because someone jumps on everything within a minute, and later sells it on for twice the price on some international site.
For the scam part i remember some ''track hubs'' that were for sale which were actually old screw on casette road hubs with a bottom bracket lockring on them. ;)

it did, i just found it further on...
i think the guy seems legit.
Thats not my point of him beeing legit or not, theres technically nothing ''wrong'' with what he does. its just sad buying up 80% of all track stuff on a dutch marketplace site, ripping it apart the same day and selling all the parts. I know way too many people here in Holland which are fed up with this guy, all cycling enthusiasts just wanting to buy some nice stuff for their rides from time to time, which they are going to actually ride, instead of selling. They are missing out because some guy (that doesnt even ride himself) jumps on everything within 2 minutes to make small profit.

I'll paste this here since Sape removed it from Flickr allready:
From a cycling enthusiast point of view i highly advise not to buy anything from this guy, he has no passion for cycling whatsoever, just jumped on a hype and buys as many complete bikes from the dutch ebay (marktplaats) as he can, takes them apart, sells everything seperate for twice the price. For instance he just bought this bike last night. Dude has probably never been on a bike for more than 20 minutes. Hope the unfortunate bloke wakes up one day, gets real job and will give people with lives that dont have the time to watch market place sites all day long a chance to buy stuff for their hobby for a fair price.

That looks a really impressibe make over for a plug, but whats with the steep drop stem but a bunch of spacers?
Also as everything is black, why the white saddle?Theres nothing wrong with long cranks, if the rider needs em. I think too many people are brainwashed into thinking they need short cranks for fixed gear.
But a larger track size chainring would 'fill out' the large bike a lot better.
Haha wasnt expecting to find my bike in a bike porn thread, cheers.
the steep drop stem on the spacers, still have to cut my front fork so its temporary..
the rearwheel is just normal 700c.. might look small, because the frame is 62cm, for the cranks its just 170mm, stock sugino cranks and 42t chainring
the white saddle, matches the decals on the bike, saddle also has small red writing on it that matches the subtile red accents on the frames decals. it ll make more sense when seen in the flesh hehe.

thanks for the reply all, i went with the standard brooks b17, beeing 6ft4 i think it was the right choice not to get the narrow one, this feels pretty good enough thigh space also, as a surprise it was quite comfortable from the first ride. love how it really seems to absorb the nasty bumps here. only problem i have is that i seem to be sliding to the front all the time, while my saddle angle is perfectly horizontal.. hmmm
my first choice was a san marco regal but i couldnt find a new all leather version anywhere that was in my budget, only the crackled suede version but i really hate the look of it.
i got the b17 new for 57 euro (45quid) btw

Hello,
been lurking on here for a while now, helped me alot building my first track bike, just have a question that remains.
Im looking to get a Brooks 17 saddle, just dont know to go with the standard one or the narrow one. Basically i only ride around in the city, alot of bumps here so i need some comfort. My riding style is pretty fast, usually race around getting from A to B fast. would the standard one be too wide (alot of inner thigh friction) and is more a easy going saddle to just cruise around? or would it do fine.. and shouldnt i waste 30euros extra on the narrow one?
Cheers
