Here's the full history on this frame:
built for me during the winter of 93/94
Used twice(!) in 94 after which I decided I didn't like timetrials
Next 14 years, it resided under wraps and forgotten in my parents garage.
last year, rediscovered and moved to my attic while I planned a fantastic project.
Now, up for sale, life has got in the way and no time for the project :-(

£180
based in Oxford but will post anywhere in the UK

Comes with new matching green bar tape - as far as my build got!

Oh, and for this forum: fixed is no longer fastest.

May be not but I can point out that Scott Povey got 4th in the PTW25 in 48-52 on fixed. Not sure what gear but it looked mahoosive!

Nice bike.

Barry is a bit of a recluse, I've not seen him for a couple years but I gather he is still building the odd wheel! Still living around Barnet - Ash at thecyclestore keeps in touch with him and can put a plea in for a build(!)

ok dibs, pm'd

Cool, pm'd back.

Probably, if this lurgy doesn't worsen. I've entered anyway, but have had last minute doubts about riding it fixed again, so might use gears if I can quickly learn how to use them in that context :S

I've booked some time off work to go and experiment tomorrow morning...

I reckon Bec is ok on fixed (though I rode gears when I had the choice!) so long as you back off a bit in the middle section. The Catford on the other hand... I don't see a way of not being under-geared at the bottom and over geared at the top given that the gradient increases so much.

Yeah, I just dug up your result on the CTC site. Wish I'd geared up a bit - 44x22 got me too anaerobic during the middle section.

I'm too old now anyway :(

A borrowed 595, you say. Sounds like foul play to me. Paper bags full of tatty fivers and a 5mm allen key from one of your rivals no doubt ;)

Now you come to mention it... it was borrowed from a team mate and I missed out on the team medal..!

I hate all hillclimbs less that 4mins. I'm just all aerobic. Having said that, team has roped me in for the Catford and Bec - not looking forward to the Latate burn! - may be see you there?

Bloody hell, (Danny). I remember this one when it was featured on londoncyclesport.

Can you confirm that the chainring bolts are all tightened properly :p

It was indeed! I used it on streatley that you did at the week end with 39x19 for a 2-32ish.

The chainring bolt incident was on a borrowed 595 Look road bike :-(

Vast majority of bike absolutely immaculate, used for just two sessions at Newport and a couple of hillclimbs. Saddle, bars and stem a bit more use but in good condition. Sadly, has spent much of it's life languishing at the back of the shed and I can no longer justify hanging on to it. Just found a 20t sprocket that I'll throw in too.

£400

Located in Oxford but easy pick-up via Oxford Tube/Espress bus. (Can confirm, having spent 18months commuting!)

eyesaw

Not really, just couldn't resist the pun.

I remember the buzz of riding over a wooden seesaw on my grifter when I was a nipper :-)

I have an ITM eclipse quill stem 12cm. This the tig wielded cromo one may not suit a "classic" look.

Hi I'm new on the forum and I have a bike for sale(!) stuck in the nursery however so will have to wait to stick a classified add up.
