Hi @Kobe looks smart. Any chance of some more pics/spec? What price are you looking for?

Looking for a 62cm XL track frame. Would be interested in anything between 60–62 but as I'm about 6'5" the bigger the better. Been looking at Surly Steamroller and 8Bar Fhain Steel as these are some of the very few new frames I can find in 62cm although interested in any second hand options as well. Not too keen on the curved forks of the Surly so I guess im looking for a slightly more 'modern' look.

Thoughts and advice much appreciated!

Thanks — W

Interested in any advice on this size or second hand frames. Thoughts and advice much appreciated!

Thanks — W

interested- how tall were you when you had the fram custom built? im 6'4" so maybe looking for something slightly larger...

Hi Mark, how much are you looking for?

Very interested, have got a long pair of legs on me.

If you've decided to go down the eBay route, wouldn't mind getting a link.

Do you have the full measurement spec inc. bb-seat and top tube? Very interested would just like a closer look at sizing.

Thanks

Are these hubs available to buy anywhere yet?

Bought this frame second hand about 2 years ago now. Purchased it off eBay and the guy seemed to think it was an old Claud Butler with Reynolds 531.

Come to a point now where i'd really like to know what model it is so i can consider adding some decals to it however there is no frame number to be seen anywhere, this might have been because the frame was powder coated and has filled in the digits below the bottom bracket, but i cant see any evidence of anything being there before?

I now understand these are BCM lugs, but still unsure on make and model. Any help much appreciated.

Wondered if anyone might be able to recognise the frame from the lug work? Heres a picture

How would you suggest going about removing a bottom bracket in the easiest/cheapest way possible?

Thanks, W.

Will these wheels take 700x28c or even 700x25c tyres?

Cheers guys!

OK thanks, however basically where do i start! Sorry novice questions indeed.

Sorry for posting in wrong forum. Any advice would be much appreciated however.

Am currently building up my own fixie from pretty much scracth. And as a novice builder was looking for some guidance on measurements and buying;

A) How should i go about measuring the shaft of the bottom bracket so that i can buy and fit one the corrrect size

B)How should i go about measuring and fitting etc. the aparts for a headset?

Thanks

Just got my wheels and am ridicuously happy. What kind of tyres would you suggest buying, size wise aswell?

W.

Yeah wouldnt mind giving Newport a bash. Don't suppose anyone knows the fee's for using it, public use etc?

Basically was just wondering where abouts any velodromes where in England, would love to have a go on/ watch some races on one some time. I live in the somerset so if anyone knows any particularly around there that'd be ace..

Varno, ordered my wheels last thursday night, was wondering if theyve been dispatched or anything yet. Just so i can organise someone being at home etc.
Thanks.

Is there not one of those 'BT FON Hotspots' inside of Earls court, they seem to be everywhere?

Not sure ill be able to make it there, one suggestion that could be pretty cool would be to try and get as many of the members of LFGSS to take a photo of their sweet ride, then display them either on the photo wall, or maybe even in a catalogue of its own. Just to show the country how this scene is getting even bigger and better!?

Apologies if this has already been suggested.

Just waiting for my frame to come back after its powder coating, will there still be black novatec hubs in stock?

Righto, i was just wondering if there wasnt that much difference for more money. Malaysian this has been my thought process all the way through really, im only gonna buy wheel once, so better make them good!

Would it be a wise decision to choose the more expensive Novatec sealed bearing hubs over the standrad hubs?

was wondering if you are still doing them?

Considering getting as follows :

Back wheel: Black 40mm rim, black spokes, black hub (120mm spacing, with fixed on one side, free on the other) with the silver sprocket

and for the front wheel

Front: Black 40mm rim, black spokes (preferably radial spokes), black hub

Would that all be ok?
