What size are the bars?

40cm

well i'm proficient in the use of an allen and know how to change a tire :)

Like I said in the listings for this, I rode this bike for 2-3 months, I never needed to change the rear wheel or cog so I never learnt how to take it off(or purchased whatever tool was necessary). If I had, i'm sure I would know. If I owned a bike shop, i'd definitely know and have the tool. Isn't that why you guys were expressing disbelief anyway?

They might be complete retards??

You spend over a G on a bike on a fashion accessory you have ridden 7 times and can't even perform basic maintenance on.

Hmmmm....

fair enough, you're the one questioning them though, i am admitting my ignorance. No I have never removed a cog before, I am very sorry to have offended you.

how small is that shop?! they must have seen a fixed hub before

They sell shitty moutain bikes that weigh 20kg to dumb uni students with a 300% markup. I remember him saying something about him never seeing fixed gear bikes haha.

Your LBS doesn't have a chain whip?

to be honest i don't even know the tool you need to get it off, they just told me they didn't have to tool. to be fair they may be complete retards.

700c 32h Orange Velocity Deep V, with Blue BLB Flip Flop hub(think its formula rebranded as BLB) and Blue Spokes, built by...BLB. Has a white wall, blue tread gommitalia logosport tyre on it. Perfect condition, no chips or scratches. Also comes with a free BLB 19t Cog on the back because the bike shop in my tiny town doesn't have the tool to get it off...not that you'll have a problem with that in London or will probably be able to do it yourself. Or keep it on. £75

All dibs go to those who can pay quickest :)

couldnt be arsed with ebay so i'm splitting - everything is potentially already gone to the same person except the seatpost, stem, bottom bracket and f&f. Not going to split the f&f if i can sell both together so blind dan has dibs on it if he still wants it, sorry joa+bcn.

I've got dibs on the cranks though, right?

I'm going to melt them down and cut them into pieces to distribute them evenly between all those who dibbsed them so nobody is disappointed.

Will list it on ebay tomorrow morning. If it doesn't reach a decent price, i'll split it and sell the parts to all those here who dibbsed.

So in addition to my bike, I have two postal strike related items to sell.

I have two educational copies of office for mac 2008...the company sent me 3 accidentally. Go me. It includes word, excel, powerpoint and entourage. £40 each posted.

I also have an itrip which came too late for me to use it, so its new and unused. £12 posted.

You are 5 grand in debt from your first term, were you using fifties to fuel your boiler?

It's worse because I was well in the green when I came here, hahaha. It was a fun first two months, for sure. It's mostly because the wage bill for my servants is rather ridiculous now that i've been forced to pay them 'minimum wage'.

I remember not so long ago when you posted this in the Riders, Bikes and Faces thread, all proud as punch, and then got some pelters about toe-clips or whatever offence it was you'd committed. How quickly they grow up!

Do people really go and spaff over a grand on a 'build' at BLB or wherever and then not really ride it? Honestly. Young people. * goes back to knitting*

Well, I built this up over summer, when I was working ridiculously long backbreaking hours, so I was kind of prevented from ever riding it seriously. No problem I thought, since i'll be taking it to uni. Well, that didn't work out too well either, because i'm in St. Andrews, and this place really isn't condusive to riding a track bike, let alone a brakeless fixie. It's hilly, the main street is cobbled(wtf?), and you can walk to everywhere worth going in under 5 minutes. I've taken it out maybe 4 times since I got here in mid-sept.

And yeah, I wasn't in 5k debt back then haha.

I only bought the back wheel from BLB...and they installed the BB/Cranks.

Due to being in roughly £5k in debt and a university student the time has come to sell my lovely bike :( Not only is it far too valuable for someone in my financial state to be riding, I have hardly done so since I bought it anyway. Here is the full partlist:

Electric blue steel Borghini track frame, 54x54cm
Polished steel drilled fork, dia compe headset
700c white Aerospoke front Wheel
700c Orange 32h Velocity Deep V Rear Wheel with blue Flip/Flop BLB hub
Nitto Chromo 40cm B-123 bars, lizardskin handlebar tape
Sugino 75 165cm Cranks
Sugino Zen Chainring
Charge Masher Orange chain
Anodized Blue MKS toeclips
MKS pedals
White Fizik Aliante Gamma Saddle
White Zaffiro Pro tyre on the front and blue/white gommitalia logosport on the back
generic polished seatpost/ahead stem
campagnolo bottom bracket
Knog rear red LED light

The frame is lugged steel, weighs 2kg, track dropouts(obv). 27.2 seatpost, 1" headset. Perfect condition, as is the whole bike, couple of very very minor chips in the paint. As you can both the frame and the bike as a whole are very striking - this gets a lot of admiring glances and comments on it everytime I ride it. I would really rather not split it up but if I don't find a buyer for the whole thing I will, so feel free to ask for dibs on the individual parts. Looking for £1000 posted. Questions/req's for more pics welcomed.

I have a white one, love the look of it. Comfortable? Well, you still have an achey arse after a long ride.
