Great condition - ridden for about 4 months, really smooth, new grips etc.

£600 - Including F+R catseye lights, and a brand new pair of white Halo tyres. (You can have the brand new rear brake if you'd like, too!)

Dropped the price to £600.

Ouch. Didn't know I was that far out guys. Cut me some slack hey.

Crazy how much it's depreciated, I spent over 1k and it's hardly ridden. Nuts that you can buy a entry level SS in blb for 800, in pretty much the same condition.

Ah well, lemme have a think and i'll readjust.

Looking for £750ono.

**EDIT/

looking for £600.**

Sorry dudes, doubt I'll split.

Sure. Where are you based? Throw me an email tim@timdavis.me

Freddie Grubb (1960's(ish)), has had a Bob Jackson respray, original headbadge, made from 531 awesome etc, fancy lugs, campy dropouts. Fantastic condition apart from one small paint chink on the top tube (pictured).

Reluctant sale after leaving my job and no longer commute. I'm 6ft and it's a great size.

Headset/BB fitted at Condor, been ridden for 6 months. DV rims, Miche crankset, Paul bikes, nitto, brooks, campag etc.

Also comes with f+r catseye lights, a pair of brand new tyres (white Halo's), and brand new rear brake.

Offers via PM please. I'm in Holloway and can ride to anywhere close!

Thanks dudes,

Tim

BB is still available, had lots of pm's though. I would be very happy to sell the larger chainring and knock it off the price I'm selling the cranks for. If you can confirm a sale by lunchtime today! Pm me please.

bb still available?

Cheers guys - It's a Freddie Grubb that has been a massive mission to turn into a fixed gear. I bought it on here. I believe it is 1958ish and has had a bob jackson respray.

Very happy to be riding it at last : )

Me.

Yo,

Few bits for sale:

Campag cranks - bought them on here and unfortunately they didn't fit my frame, so had to buy some newer-schooler ones. A few bites on the inside, but nothing serious. I have taken off the mounting for the second spider (both included fit the outer), so these are for the Fixed Gear'ers! Offers please.

Campagnolo Chorus Bottom Bracket, English 102mm - bought this also for my frame which didn't fit. It is unused, apart from fitting to find out that the cranks wouldn't fit the frame.. i.e. it hasn't been ridden. Offers Please.

Halo Messenger Tyres, white, new. Offers please.

Tekra long drop rear brake. Offers please.

All for collection in Old Street, or I could drop off near.

Thanks dudes,

T

Sorry - Campag 102mm Chorus BB. The cranks are pretty oldschool campag track cranks. The chainring bolts are hitting the frame, and need at least 7mm more -

Some of you may have read my troubles over in the classifieds. I've just got my bike back from Holloway cycles - the dude in there was super helpful but second opinions are always useful.

Pictures don't really show millimetre spacing issues very well, but if you are a hawk: (I'm holding the crank/chainring about 5mm away from the chainstay as the BB is too short atm)

Mechanic says options are:

1) Longer BB, dish the wheel. He still looked pretty doubtful about this, and warned about dishing on the driveside etc.

2) New cranks (sugino messengers) and run the ring on the inside (really don't want to do this and would still involve spacing issues)

3) New hub which I can space further + dish it.

4) Longer BB and ride it loud and proud, with the chain coming off every time I pedal.

Running a Campag 102mm Chorus BB. The cranks are pretty oldschool campag track cranks. The chainring bolts are hitting the frame, and need at least 7mm more -

Opinions would be massively appreciated - I'm sure a good few of you have gone through this eye needling journey before. If you could list parts and lengths that would be sick also.

Beers all round.. Cheers,

T

Well that's pretty worrying as his options are a new double crankset running on the inside ring or gears. He made it seem like this frame as a SS would not run that nicely.

I think the chainline is waay off.

Hey sorry guys - and wow, thanks for all the help.

I'll get it back from Holloway cycles (where the very nice and helpful mechanic has been trying to fix it) and take some pics and move this discussion to the bike fix forum. Sounds like with your help we'll get closer to solving this. There is no lack of want to get this up and running : )

The issue is money - I really don't want to buy new wheels or a new crankset. (I have an old campag crankset). Will post pics asap - I think i'll owe a few pints after this..

Thanks again - and shout hi if you see a green freddie grubb flying by soon.

It would be a bodge - Would need a new BB and double crankset, running the chainring on the inside. Or perhaps rebuild the rear wheel and convert a geared hub to SS.

Opinions/thoughts massively appreciated, but I don't think this is a goer..

(super sorry if this turns into a tech thread)

So after over a month of part sourcing etc, I have (very depressingly) found out this frame has a chainline for gears, and not SS.

Totally gutted as I'm completely in love with it :'(

Bob Jackson renovation / respray. It is from the 60's I think but am not totally sure, has the original headbadge, made from 531 awesome etc, fancy lugs, campy dropouts etc. Collection/drop in Old Street area.

Size: seattube: 58 c-c or 59.5 c-t
toptube 56.5/57 c-c

Comes fitted with campag record headset.

£350 ono. (or a god to tell me how I can use this with SS). PM's either way, please.

PM's but no commitment yet..

As title, brand new. I paid £45, so is £30 very reasonable?

I'm in Old Street or alternatively just off Holloway Road for collection.

Many thanks,

Tim

Which sizes specifically do you think>?

Sorry for any ignorance - first build : )

So..

I have fitted some 700c wheels to an old freddie grubb frame, and have about an inch clearance gap. There are two problems with this:

1- I'd need to get super-deep-drop brakes (65mmish), which rules out all of the brakes I would like to buy.

2- The wheels don't fill out the frame which the slutty side of me doesn't enjoy.

2b- If i'm spending this much money I want to get it right : )

Am I running the wrong size wheels for the frame? What are my options here dudes? Is an inch clearance normal(ish)?

Any help much appreciated,

Tim

I'm still very keen on these if poss dudes..

Tim

Dibs on [strada] crankset !
