This is the original build thread:

I've reluctantly decided to sell my Carlton fixie - I've come to terms with the fact that it's a bit it too big for me and my other bikes are just more comfy.
The frame is an old Carlton in plain gauge 531 steel. It has been modified at some point in its life to have track drops. Recently powder coated signal orange and fitted with new hand-built wheels.
The wheels were hand-built myself and have not seen much use. They're miche primato large flange hubs laced to mavic open pros. Spokes are all double butted stainless. Front wheel is radial rear is 3x.
Bars are deda piega with a 3t stem. Seat post is an old aero campag type.
Front Dia compe long drop brake with a dirt Harry lever.
Stronglight chainset with shimano un55 cartridge bottom bracket.
Pedals are MKS stream pedals fitted with power grips.
Njs chain tugs also included.
I'm after £350. I'm located in Ipswich and it's collection only. Now £300!

Hello! Thinking of selling my fixed gear... I'm living in the hills now and it never comes out. It deserves to be ridden! I Know what it has cost me to build but I know it's more than anyone would reasonably pay.
Any ideas what someone would pay for this? http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/255398/#comment12068405

I have two unbranded 26" wheels that are surplus to requirements. They both came off a Rayleigh MTB.
Both hubs have recently been re-packed with grease.
Only the front wheel has the 6-bolt mount for a disc brake - The rear wheel is rim brake only!
The pair is free and can be collected Oakwood station Mondays to Thursday evenings.

Anyone heard from @shibbylibertine last few days? Didn't realise the thread was this old when I PMd them.

My grandad got hold of a classic steel frame at the last cycle jumble for the grand sum of five pounds. It was in a poor state and he stripped the frame, rubbed it down and had it resprayed. I spent a day in his garden lining the lugs for him to make it stand out to any potential buyers.
Unfortunately he passed away a couple of weeks ago - the frame has landed with me and I intend to get it built up and get it looking smart!
It has potential: we think it's late 80's. It has 130mm rear triangle spacing so can take a relatively modern groupset.
Pics of the frame as bought:

No longer for sale.
Planning to split and keep the wheels. Drop me a PM if interested in any of the bits.
