Top tube centre to centre is 22" Jimbo

The Dave Lloyd is mine .... Gutted to see it go but I need the cash

Okay .... Didn't realise that, sorry :-)

Just wanted to add .... I did not know that one gear on an SS was illegal, they say that every day is a school day and today is no different!

Trying to work out how I end this thread or delete it but can't work it out .... Any advice please?!

Rear brake being fitted in the morning :-)

Well okay .... I will remove this advert, thanks for the opinions .... I will put two brakes on bikes from now on!! And im not trying to "fleece" anyone!!

Well if anyone is interested I have matching rear brake and lever and can always fit one :-)

Thankyou for the comments, just remembered why I don't use forums anymore .... people slagging off your hard work!

Single brake is NOT illegal, yes it would originally come with 27" wheels but it isn't a restored vintage bike it is a custom single speed .... therefore it is not "bodged"

This lug work is rare .... The bike is priced high due to the rare frame and decent parts that are on the bike.

Please instead of slagging things off keep your opinions to yourself!

Photo doesn't do the paint much justice .... It was painted by GT Paintworks in Sway, New Forest

Thanks .... Interesting conversation that one, most people I know that run SS run a front brake only

Nope ... Probably a strange fashion but most riders I know only run a front brake on an SS bike

Vintage 1980's Sprint Single Speed Road Bike

This is a lovely vintage classic road bike from the 1980's that has been converted to a single speed (NOT fixie).

The frame is 19" from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube .... This means that the bike is pretty small and therefore designed for a shorter rider.

The frame is over 25 years old and the paint is original .... It has marks and scratches as you would expect, however no dents and nothing structural .... see photographs

The bike has a brand new pair of 700c wheels, these have Shimano hubs and Alex rims, they are both quick release and have an RRP of £120

Both wheels have new Bontrager inner tubes and good tyres

There is a brand new Charge Bucket saddle that cost £25

The bike has a new single speed conversion kit with a new KMC chain and brand new pedals with toe clips.

The bars are wrapped in Bontrager tape , the front brake has a new flat bar lever, new cable and new brake blocks .... The brake works extremely well.

This is a stunning little bike that would be ideal for ripping up the streets of London, Brighton or any other city .... It is a real headturner and rides like a dream.

Collection from Totton, Southampton .... I am prepared to meet at the train station if that helps .... Cash on collection please

Any questions please ask

1950's Carlton Catalina Single Speed Road Bike

I bought this frame in awefull condition with a stuck seatpost but having done some research realised that it was something special .... So decided to restore it.

The frame number "E8653" indicates that the bike was built between 1955 and 1958 which makes it pre Raleigh takeover in 1960 and means it was built in their Worksop factory in England.

The frame is made from Reynolds 531 and has spearpoint lining with "Raccords Super Champion Egg Lugs" .... I have had the stuck seatpost removed and the frame professionally painted Caterham Green (British Racing basically) .... Professional paint job not powdercoat.

Frame is 22" from the centre of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube.

The bike has been re-built to a single speed specification and is not a fixie.

The wheels have classic Shimano 105 hubs with Mavic Open Pro rims, they are both bolted and have new inner tubes and new Specialized tyres .... Both are 700c

There is a Brooks B17 saddle sat on top of a new seatpost, the seat clamp bolt is also new.

A new headset is attached to a vintage Pivo stem with nice chrome bars.

The brake is Weinmann with new cable and brake blocks.

The chainset is Ofmega and is gorgeous, it is like a vintage replica of the Campagnolo Record .... Really suits the frame well.

The bottom bracket, chain, metal pedals and single speed kit are all new.

The bars have been wrapped in new bar tape.

This is an absolute stunning, classic bike that is a real headturner .... The lugs are a work of art and the photographs really don't do it justice.

Would look awesome ripping up the streets of London or any other city.

Due to the quality of this bike I AM NOT prepared to post and therefore UK buyers only please .... I live just outside Southampton, I can happily meat part way or meet at the train station if you are comming from London etc.

Please no silly offers, the paint job and new parts cost alot (paint job alone was close to £100 and the RRP of the seat is £70 .... to say nothing of all the other new parts!!).

Cash on collection prefered.

Any questions .... Pleased ask
