Thanks for the heads up. I will give it a proper inspection.

Matt

It was originally a TT bike so it will not be allowed on a track :( but would have loved to get on the boards, but alas the Dolan hire bikes will have to suffice for that particular pleasure.

Matt

I don't reckon I will manage to keep it under 15lb. The chainset and BB are probably gonna be around the 1kg mark, then the chain on top. The back brake calliper is still mounted though, so will shave a touch off. If I manage to keep it under 16lb I will be happy.......

Matt

Cheers.

As it stands today it tips the scales at 13lb.

sorry posted to early. Please can the MODS delete this one?

Hi,

I have finally bitten the bullet and ventured into the world of fixed gearing. After toying with the idea for a while, and hoarding parts along the way, I have now finally got a rolling shell.

I bought the Tifosi frame as another deal looked like it had gone sour, but the other deal came good, so the Tifosi got shelved until I decided what to do with it. I have bought a full 9speed Campag drive train for it, but after seeing my mate put together a frame I gifted him, the decsion was made.

As a picture paints a thousand word, I will pass over the the appointed spokes people.....

Here it is back In October when it was delivered

First mock-up using parts from the 'bin'

Then managed to bag a lovely Alpina seat post

and quickly fitted

Then I stumbled on these beauts this week, so the build has really got pace.

The front was free as about 1/4 of the braking surface has been smashed off during an accident. Not sure if it is salvageable or not.

and fitted.......

fitted the Vision aero bars I bought of here a while back

Today took delivery of the new seat and an Alpina seat post clamp to match the post.

Ordered a 16t sprocket, so now trying to figure out what Chainset to go for. I am thinking 46, but really want a Strong Light set which are on sale at Planet X for £60, only available in 44,48 or 49. So a little unsure about which way to go yet.

Lets it for now folks.

Matt

Double post, sorry peeps

Looking good mistah! I have dug out the original caliper and put it to 'one side'. We will have a brake that will fit somewhere in the stores.

I cannot believe you painted the floor to go with the red scheme.

Matt

Looking good! I will dig out the seatpost, and also have a front brake caliper you can borrow, just till you find your feet ;)

See you tomorrow,

Matt

If someone is behaving strangely and there seems to be no explanation for it, look to alcohol and drugs!

Matt

PM'd last night, but no reply :(

Please could you let me know if these are still available and if you are willing to post?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

+1 apolloxl - thanks for the speedy despatch and excellent communication.

Wouldn't mind second dibs on the Dirty Harry.

Matt

and replied......

Matt

Hmmm, I kinda like that design. Would you do it for £12 posted?

Matt

Email sent.

Matt

Manchester.

Matt

I can't see it has any make or stamps anywhere on it. I can throw some piccies up tomorrow.

I am based oooop norf, but we can overcome the distance easily enough.

Matt

I have a frame, stripped to within an inch of it's life, but does still have the BB. Measures 61/62cm. Free to a good home if you want it.

Matt

Cool, I'll take it then. Let me know how you want paying and I will arrange payment.

Thanks,

Matt

I am just interested in item number 11, not sure if there is some confusion going on here..................

Matt

Postage for the single speed conversion would be £15-£20 plus the cost of the part? Or are you saying £15-20 all in?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

I'll take the single speed conversion. Please can you advise how much for it posted? and also how you would like payment to be made.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
