Also;

36 hole CXP 14 clinchers in very good condition. Only used on track prior to me buying them. Probably only 100 miles use on road since including mild front brake use. These are hugely sought after for having no obvious machined brake surface and a very sharp V profile, coming to a much sharper edge in the middle than most modern aero rims. In production for two years only between 1998-'99. 622-13 actual size so narrow too, 2mm narrower than open pros.

Hubs are good condition Miche Primato high flange ones, single fixed on the rear. Minor marks on both hubs, but run smoothly with no play. All track nuts included. Brand new Miche lockring included also.

Recently rebuilt using DT revolution double butted spokes, yes the £1.10 each skinny ones! DT brass nipples.

Both run 100% straight, no dents or flat spots.

Amazing looking wheels, and ever so slightly hard to come by now.

so so easy, and entertaining

What's his background, BMX or trials?

Trials, from back in the days when trials bikes were just small mountain bikes!!

Similar price and components. Not too disimilar in terms of geometry.

Which would you choose?

Fuji

Felt

2010 Felt TK-2

"The US$1,399 (approx £850) TK-2 is a velodrome-specific track racing bike built with Felt's custom-butted, smooth welded Super-light 7005 aluminium tubing. Frame features include an aero 70mm deep cutout seat tube with a rear wheel recess and a semi-aero downtube, a bladed monostay and aero seatstays connected to horizontal CNC dropouts with stainless steel inserts.
The Felt carbon fork has 25mm of offset for quick track handling. Component highlights include a SRAM TruVativ Omnium Track two-piece cold-forged aluminium 48T crankset and 15T fixed gear driven by a KMC Z510HX track 1/8in-pitch chain.
A Deda Pista aluminium handlebar joins own-brand kit including a TkR 2014 aluminium 3D forged stem and bladed carbon fibre micro adjust seatpost, Felt 1.2 saddle with a carbon-injected base and TkR-2 42mm deep aluminium Aero Track wheels, with 28 spokes radially laced in the front and 28 spokes three-crossed in the rear for strength. Colour is Gloss White, Black. Sizes are 52, 54, 56, 58 and 60cm."

Oh, now that has just thrown a spanner in the works!

What, so just hold it over the gas cooker for a few mins? Will this not tarnish the crank?

Quite possibly, depends on how much you want to get the pedal out. The carbon deposits you'll get will come off with elbow grease, and you'll probably stand less chance of buggering it up permanently.

SAFETY ANOUNCEMENT, heat up your crack at own risk!!

Heat up the crank. The alloy will expand faster than the steel pedal spindle so will be easier to undo.

Fixed.

Worth posting on retrobike as well maybe?

Ive got a 130mm Cinelli stem that takes 26.0 bars for sale

Has anyone else got one of those Xena alarmed disc locks and having issues with it? Mine seems to be a bit oversensitive. The security guard in the car park where I leave my bike during the day had a proper whinge at me yesterday afternoon as it kept going off apparently.

They replaced the down tube on my Orange P7 and repainted it a few years ago, and I was very happy with the finished article. You should have nothing to worry about.

If I were given the choice between the two I'd still go for the Mavics, warranty or not. If you're the kind of rider that drops stairs and cycles backwards then I see where you're coming from, but personally thats not my thing...........Miche hubs don't break the bank so if something were to go wrong I wouldn't mind as much, not as much as say a set of DA's or phils. Obviously this is only my opinion and I'll stick by my guns and say that £170 is a fair price for this set of wheels.

Thanks for sticking up for me. I didnt think the price was unreasonable, it may not be a give away, but on the same note im no rip off merchant.

They will remain in my Shed as my wet weather wheels before they go for £100.

As for what they are worth, you go and find another set . . . . . . anywhere

It wouldnt be the first time Ive seen cranks or bottom bracket cups with the wrong threads cut on them. Its not just a french quirk, its wrong. Take them back.

2nd vote for a Cateye Strada. Have the wireless on my Condor, and the double wireless on my geared road bike. Top bits of kit.

They do come up slightly small also- my 61cm feels more like a 58cm.

Which is probably due to the sizing being centre to top on the seat tube, and it extends a fair way above the top tube.

you're telling me!! They have an integrated seat tube!!

Im not in London, but will pm matey anyway as it might be worth a small journey so as to get it right.

I currently ride said Condor with the brake removed!!

I want something to reserve just for track use though, will be visiting Newport once a week. As for which discipline I guess an all rounder to start with. I dont have enough experience to be able to say which I would like to focus on.

PS Im 5'10" with a 32" inseam

The eternal dilema, 54 or 56.

Im looking to get a track pro, and it will be one of the above sizes. I dont have the option to try first unfortunately, so have been reading all the old posts on here regarding experiences and sizing calculators etc. Im still torn between the 2 however.

It will be used purely on track, so is it better to have a slightly smaller or bigger frame?

My current fixed is an old condor with 52cm c-c st and 53.5 c-c ht, and even with a 120mm stem this is too short. considdering the 56cm Fuji comes with a 100mm stem would this be the best option?

Cheers in advance.

Im selling these wheels from my Condor;
