will you be riding fixed or ss? these steam rollers are bomb proof
-
no they cant - I tried to convert my old zondas to 10 speed but to no avail. the pawls/springs on the modern freehub wont work with the old hubshells or even fit onto the old axles
either way, a real bargain on both the wheelset and front!! GLWS!
-
what size? i have a 52cm complete

Good price, if only my computer hadn't just broken. GLWS

Ahh ok so not cheap! It's a long story to my hands - originally from the states brought over to the UK by a guy called Audrey (some may know him, tall black and a very deep American voice) in 2005 after being ridden in California for years from new. It was then passed around a group of riders in London (one called Stephon Hinkcson) for I don't know how long and ended up in a market as a frame set ready to meet its maker. Thank the Lord my good friend Briggy saw the frame set and got it straight away for £30. Briggy happens to be friends with both Audrey and Stephon and recognised the bike straight away. He then gave it to me (to keep it back in the group) about a year ago for nothing! It was great building it up and showing Audrey who had it originally (who hadn't seen it for 5+ years!) - hopefully doing the bike justice and enjoying many more miles to come.
Does anybody know Briggy? He is a very familiar face in London. He has his own bike workshop in Camberwell. Also rides fixed wheels with no foot retention

Ahh ok thanks a lot for the info!! So with that I will take that mine is the mid range frame set - do you know if they originally came as completes or were the frame sets alone? What sort of price would it have been new? Either way I love it and it's such a good ride :D

finally got round to fixing the images.. 7 months later
Miss the final result of this bike :(

why does this one have a brushed alu finish and mine is painted? there is also no 'made in usa' or chain stay decals on this one. i take it mine is a cheap version?

top tube dent for those interested
-
6ft on the dot.. uploading more pictures now mate

Hi mate, I've actually lost my tape so I'm unsure on size. A few people are asking so I'm going to check later on today but for now I believe it to be:
57cm Seat tube
54cm top tube ctc
57top tube (from center head tube to top of seat tube)And I will also be taking a few more pictures later on.
Thanks! -
Just to add it weighs 7.5Kg as is. Could be very very light with the right parts. I will also throw in some alloy risers
-
My godamn MacBook just broke
:(
Martrac Pursuit - Reynolds 753 frame and fork. The frame is structurally sound and rides like an absolute dream. So fast. But there is a dent on the top tube that is worth mentioning although I have checked with several shops and they all gave the go ahead on safety. I've been riding it as is for ages. The rest of the bike is has paint chips here and there but I personally think it adds character.
Dura Ace headset
3TTT gipiemme stem
BLB pursuit bars
Campagnolo rim (18h) blades spokes onto hope hub 650c
H + Son formation face onto BLB hub. Was white now sprayed black
Miche Primato cranks with advanced ring
Token cog
Campagnolo aero seat post
i will throw in an arione and a concor to the buyer.If you are London based I am in Peckham and travel to central most days.
If there is enough interest I may also split the bike. Otherwise I am looking for £360 complete.
Tomorrow I will get the camera out and take some current pictures, including the top tube.

that was just a standard double chainring at a 53t onto a magical 19t
-
fixed conversions can definitely be cool.. here is my conversion from last year:
but i really think that this concorde would be a beaut with gears
