Hey everyone,

Don't really want to split.

Cheers though.

Bumped for Price drop!

£500!

To those who have asked; The rear is fixed/fixed with 15t and 17t and the front is 48t. The weight of the bike is 8kg (17.6lbs).

With a heavy heart I'm selling my Felt TK2, bills to pay and valuable spare room real estate is being taken up.

The bike is 56cm which fits me perfectly at 6ft so I'd say this would fit anyone between 5'10 and 6'2. I've fitted continental gatorskins front and rear (25x700) as well as getting a front brake with a cane creek O/S lever. With the bike you will also get DH risers cut down to 38cm fitted with a Primo BMX lever and AbikeCo plastic pedals with power grips.

This bike has no dents anywhere at all, 3 small chips (2-3mm) on the top tube and similar chips around the fork and rear dropouts.

Any questions PM me and I'll be happy to send more pics etc.

£520 if you want it and I can either post it (at cost) or you can collect it from Nottingham. Delivery could also be arranged if you don't live too far from Nottingham :-)

I've got some black soyo long grips if youre interested?

This may well have been posted before.
Either way, I'm sure a few of you wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Looks like second from the left has balls.

I'm looking to get a decent fixed gear bike with 700c wheels and drops! Baically we have a tiny flat and i have no space for another bike (never mind bits of another bike lying around, getting grease on cushions and chipping mirrors whilst i build something up). I also can't be without a bike so rather than putting this on the bay, or advertising it for sale i thought i'd see if anyone has anything for swap?

The frame was built by Terry Dolan and raced by Rob Hayles. It's made of Reynolds 753, lugged at the BB shell and smooth everywhere else, like fillet brazing. Re-enforced at the head tube and seat tube with a curved seat tube allowing for super tight clearence for the rear wheel. The frame is in the original paint with the original decals. There are quite a few small chips in the paint, but no dents or dings what so ever. The frame is super light and the whole bike weighs just 17.6lbs.

The bike also has reynolds 653 forks in chrome, tange headset, nitto stem, nitto riser cut down to 38cm, titanium flight saddle (no rips but it is scuffed as hell) and truvativ omnium cranks. The ratio is 48-18.

Front wheel is 650c H+ and the rear is a mavic cxp33 on miche primato hubs. The tyres are both Vittoria (rubino 23c front and zaffiro 20c rear)

Im 6ft and the bike fits me perfectly, if youre much shorter it might be a bit of a stretch as theres not much movement down with the seat post. But for me it's a pretty comfy ride and super sharp.

I'm looking to change for something i can do some miles on, ideally brakeless with 700c wheels and drops. If you have anything like that, and are interested in the bike then please pm,

Cheers guys and girls.

I had a very similar issue with my omniums, instructions said no spacers, but i've now got none on the non-drive side and 2 on the drive side. Works a treat, chainline is spot on and no need to smack my 753 tubing with a mallet.

Hope you get it sorted!

Just wanted to see if anyone had come across the same problem..

I was riding with a couple of guys on satuday and the non drive crank came off. Really, it just fell off. Leaving me brakeless and one legged. I'd assumed that it had unscrewed itself somehow, so found an allen key and went to screw it back in but there was nothing there. The male thread on the crank side is fine, so the female thread on the axle has been stripped.

I did fall off on this side, but not from any speed, so to be honest i think that's what's done it. All just seems too fragile to me.

Time to get on the phone!

MaxCrowe! It's not suede, it's a titanium flight in leather, just old.

It's not that high really, the top tube is super low so it makes everything look a bit more radical. luckily it fits (the frame was an ebay purchase) as there's not alot of room to lower the saddle. Cheers BTW :-)

Me on the left! (Shiny)

The whip (not shiny)

bought my nephew his first bike, it's fixed but omg, it must weigh 30lb. There's a guy who made his kid a lo pro.. Google it, I think he did a pretty detailed guide.

Probably not going to be the problem as you've got an OTP, but alot of the time chain noise can caused by not having a perfect chain line. Also, i use finish line teflon dry lube. Good stuff.

Have i missed the drinks? did this happen?
Dunkirk could be cool, it means i have to ride otherwise it's 8 seconds down to broadway. Does anyone fancy organising a ride & drink afternoon over the summer?
Let me know!
Oli.

Finished! well, almost. The front fork is still too long being for a 700, but for now i'm happy :-D Wooooo.

Finally got my new wheels this morning, Mavic CXP33 for the back and h plus son for the front! Hubs coming tommorow then it's nearly ready. Mint!

Cheers to snoops for the rear wheel and organicorgigin for the saddle. Both exactly what i wanted.

Although, that BMW is pretty tempting... Love those bikes.

Been emailing david at active life logistics. They don't have many left, at all, so if you want them i'd get in contact with him. Other than that it looks an e.mail to Mack himself in Poland to get a set.

pm'd about the hubs

I'm after a pair of 32h hubs. Ideally silver and double fixed on the rear. So.. What have you got? Anything considered really.

Cheers!

Cheers guys!

Has anyone had the thread on their threaded forks extended?

I have a super short headtube and can't find any 650c forks with the correct steerer height/thread length ratio.

SO my choice is extend the thread and cut the steerer (will anyone do this? Surely the tap and die must exist) or chop an inch out of my current 700c forks and get them welded up as i lack the skills and welding equipment.

Any help would be much appreciated :-D

Oli.

Rik!

That's gorgeous. Makes me so impatient to get mine on the road :-( Got everything now except, hubs. Anyone selling any 32h double fixed....?

Also, is that a chris king 2nut headset?

Been done! i like it. Yes a surly fixxer will work if it's a shimano cassette. Pfiko is right though. It will end badly. Those things aren't tough.
