Those cranks and Williams chainring again, showing double fluting.

Lovely cottered BSA double fluted cranks, painted with cream enamel to match frame decals.

Bailey pattern bars. Planning to wrap these in black cotton cloth bar tape

Head badge decal and unusually sized 31/32 inch head clip with built in races etc.

The famous Russ Pattern Forks

Reynolds High Manganese Tubing Decal.

S0, I acquired a rather rare E.F. Russ frame off ebay rather unexpectedly. Yes, Russ of the famed 'Russ-type Forks) A high quality frame made of Reynolds High Manganese, the pre-curser to 531, including some rather nice details such as a chain hanger, and bottom bracket and head clip oil ports.

Decided to build it up as a fixed gear , as this was the norm on club and racing bikes of the period.

So far, this is where I have got too:

Frame, head clip and stem, bailey type bars and bSA double fluted crankset with will aims chainring (1937 date code)

Still available if anyone out there is interested? Will leave on here for a few more days.

Or ebay it is I suppose ....

And Yes, that is just mud/grime and not rust or anything else bad. Was used recently, and I just gave it a quick sponge clean before listing not a proper wash-as I said quick sale needed. Would consider uk postage if you pm me 1st for a postage quote etc.

Need a quick sale to save my bacon, so it will only be on here for a few days to a week before off to ebay .

all right Price drop bump.

Miche Pedals with cages etc now £18

Condor brake £10 or thereabouts.

1. Miche Track pedals-black. Decent campagnolo-esque copy. Come with Condor double toeclips and straps.
   
   

Reasonable scruffy condition, fairly smooth-(left sticks a bit). Chink missing from underside of one pedal (see photo), but desn't seem to effect running that I can tell. Sadly no plastic end caps. Toe clips and straps pretty good nick all told.

£22 all in.

1. Condor deepish drop front brake calipers.
   
   

Pretty good condition just a bit splattered with clear laquer. Should clean off fine.

Jeff

Rear wheel provisionally SOLD to Jezzac pending collection etc.

Front 27 1/14 still available.

Two cheap wheels for sale. I've never used them so can't be sure but they seem pretty true at a glance.

1. Crappy Rear Sovos Flip flop fixed/free hub on quite a nice but scruffy Ambrosio Gentleman rim, kind of champagne colour. Should clean up ok, still has original decals.
   
   

Hub spins pretty smooth-slight bit of grit. FIxed cog bent and will need replacing, but you can kkep the lockring etc. 700c quite narrow so no bigger than 28 tyre (and that's a push) - £12

1. Vintage Sturmey Archer front quick release hub, on Rigida Super Chromix steel 27 1 1/4 rim. Spins smooth. good for vintage build or whatever.- £10

Thanks,

girlfriend just told me that someone has been hit on Morning Lane, Hackney, by the crossing at the bottom of the cycle path opposite the new Pringle store etc.

Bike bent on side of road and rider in ambulance
don't know any other details but hope it was just minor and they are ok

cheers, will do.

Hit by a van as he pulled out into me from a side road, about 4.30pm tonight.
Driver stopped and waited.

Result- ambulance took me hospital where I was checked out, got x-ray and told I had a broken collarbone.
Back wheel written off, (hope I can save the hub) and frame will need to go to bike shop to be checked out, not bent etc. (any one recommend a good one for this in London?)

glad i'm ok really, good easily have been a lot worse.
