http://www.gumtree.com/london/29/69439229.html
for this forum 450£ shipment included.

Nice frame, but its a little on the big side and also out of my price range, cheers though.

Should have said, not really looking to spend more than 200 ish pounds...

Hi, looking for a 56-58cm seat tube track frameset please, made for 700cc wheels, condition not important, drilled forks, ideally steel, although will consider anything, cheers, George

That's about as good an argument as I have heard so far against these fee rises.

The strongest arguments so far seem to be:

1. It's not fair.
   
2. People might be put off.
   
3. It's not fair.
   
   

Surely the worst part is the cut to the budget of most humanity subjects departments (at least 80%?), which will mean universities will not be able to employ world class staff, my mum is an english literature lecturer, and says that the budget cuts will make her job very very hard

2nds on the cinelli pistas or 3rds on the stratalites, cheers

looks interesting, and that it'll go cheap. The seller also said he was willing to post to london, if it was arranged beforehand

What bcd are the three arm campags? And are chainrings hard to come by for them?

I have a Roy Thame (Holdsworth) track frame, Reynolds 531 with what I believe to be Nervex lugs. Fitted with Dura-ace headset and Miche 48T crank. Original orange paint but myriad mini scratches.
Straight and no dinks.Was looking for£150. Is this the sort of thing you were seeking?

Was this sold in the end? If not can i see some photos?

Yep, a while ago, nothing came up though, and i'm looking for a slightly bigger frame

Looking for a 56-58 cm seat tube steel track or track path frame, preferably an older one, built for 700cc wheels, preferably not in great condition, but still rideable of course.

Cheers, George

I'll give it a dust and put some pictures up soon. For the record it is 56 cm for both the cross tube and the down tube.

Cheers sounds good

I'm thinking of getting these to cancel the awful toe overlap on my bike, they're 150s, will the shortness affect the bike in any other way? (apart from having to raise my saddle a touch)
Cheers

undibs, all yours haroun

Bump! Anyone got a track frame 55-57 cm seattube, clearances dont have to be too tight! Would rather not spend over £200 but if you have something nice i might be persuaded to go just over.

Or if anyone has a full old track bike for sale, same size,would spend up to £350

Cheers

are they 27''s in your picture or 700c..?

700cc. But it is sold pending cash/collection

So hold on let me get this right, Cost 195 with a perfect paint job and headset.
Now the paint job is not perfect, you've ridden it for a year, you're throwing in a £10 BB, a tatty old turbo and its gonna cost us £5 more..?
Huh..?

Fair enough, £195, which i feel is a fair price

Hi,

SOLD PENDING CASH ON COLLECTION
I'm selling this Freddie Grubb Comet frame&forks, comes with headset, practically brand new Shimano UN26 bottom bracket, and a seat post(shown in photo). I bought it about a year ago from retro di corsa for £195 with just the headset so i would like £195 including all of the above. When i got the frame and forks they had a perfect paintjob, now however, having ridden it for a year, there a number of chips to the paintwork by the rear dropouts and a chip on the top tube, however all are hardly noticeable unless close up.

There is a small ding on one of the chainstays which i will take a picture of tomorrow, although it is not big, was there when i bought it, and is purely cosmetic.

This is from Retro Di Corsa's site: Lovely Freddie Grubb Comet from late 50’s/early 60’s, classic dual-purpose track/road fixed gear frameset, beautifully made with 531 tubeset and Nervex lugs. Fork not original but suits the frame well, drilled for front brake, rear drilled in keeping with design, as are the rear mudguard mounts. Front fork would originally have had these too but they could be added easily.
21.25” x 22.5” or 54.5cm x 57cm, 1” steerer, English BB (of course), 26.4mm seat post, 110mm rear spacing.

As well as some photos: http://www.retrodicorsa.cc/Retro_di_Corsa/archive/Pages/Freddie_Grubb.html

And as i built it up:

Collection Brixton, or may post if there is interest.
Cheers, George
