too late for that! but I… sometimes sit on that protector

Selling my custom-built and loved unique fixed gear bike as I'm moving country and sadly couldn't yet find where to leave it hence trying to sell. Size is 51 cm square, would suit someone around 5'6"-5'9" tall. I'm 5'7" girl and it fits perfectly. It's ready to ride and in great condition. Can be collected in London before Oct 13th. £330 or best offer.

Hello, has anyone got a 52-54cm steel tourer for bikepacking? Need something reliable but not heavyweight as I'm only 50kg. Maybe a vintage model, but not too old. My budget is limit probably around £400. Had a browse on the forum but nothing suitable posted recently… Or could someone point me to the best place to look – I know this forum is more FG/SS-related… Thanks in advance!
P.S. pics for reference…

that's right it's been stolen from the bike park at the castle today :(
but i've been parking it almost every day there so didn't think twice

Yeah I know I was testing my luck with a cheap lock for over three years and was finally punished. I mostly lock it with a Kryptonite messenger though. Not that it deters the thieves.

P.S. I'm currently based in London so ideally would buy the bike that's also based here!

one more shot with a pigeon

Hi there, sadly my bike's been stolen today so I'm in urgent need of a new one, size 50-53cm (ideally 52 square). I'll attach a couple of photos of the one I used to have – a lightweight quirky fixed lo-pro, Reynolds 753 tubing. If anyone has something similar, that would be perfect. Doesn't have to be either lo-pro or fixed. I'll consider SS, road, cyclocross… but it has to be a lightweight steel frame please. Nothing really expensive, but I'll pay a fair price if I like the bike and if it's worth it. My immediate budget is probably around £400 but can stretch.
(I looked around on the forum but no luck yet, so I'm posting an ad in case someone is selling a bike that I haven't seen in Classifieds.)
Thank you!
Tutu
P.S. If you see my bike anywhere for sale, please let me know! I put it together myself and loved it dearly. It even had a drawing of a cycling bear on the saddle…

Hello,
I'm looking for a 700c tubular rear track wheel, reasonably priced. Probably not a fancy one, just a light, nice quality wheel. If there's a good 15-16t cog+lockring to go with it, all the better. For a possible (part-)exchange I have a brand new clincher front & rear set from V-sprint (silver Mach1 rims on silver Miche hubs, 16t, RRP £134).
Also, I'd be interested in a Campagnolo pista BB (english thread) depending on how pricey it is…
Let me know if you're up for selling/trading any of the above.
Cheers,
Tutu

Hi there,
I'm looking for a lightweight steel track frameset somewhere within the 50-53cm size range (well maybe up to 54), ideally under £200 but could go higher if it's something special or the tubing is better than 531. Colour doesn't really matter as I might want to respray it later, but I'm particularly inclined towards blue. Please let me know if you have one knocking about. I'm based in London.
Thanks very much
Tutu

hey guys, I've done the induction today and been told that I could try to race next Saturday – but also it was mentioned that I'd need some sort of a license from British Cycling to race, not just an induction? Is that the case? If not, I'll confirm my name on the list for women's race…

^ Thanks a lot, very helpful! I'll try to do an induction this weekend and hopefully will come on the 24th for the race, or as a spectator…

Hi there, I'm interested in joining the women's race. I wonder if anyone can answer a couple of my questions?

1. I've never ridden on the track although I do ride a fixie. Having looked at the Herne Hill bike specs, I reckon mine is not exactly right, so I'd need to hire one – I suppose it would be possible on the 24th?
   
2. Ridiculously, I don't have a helmet either – are they for hire too?
   And I suppose I could come as a spectator anyway, right?
   

now found both chainring & sprocket, cheers

everything's gone except for toe clips and a freewheel – any takers? I'll give them together for £12…

I am fairly sure I have a 44T Suntour Superbe 144BCD chainring in the parts bin along with a suntour 16T 1/8th sprocket.

I will have a look when I get back home .

Allister

I am interested, thank you! how much would you like for those?

chainwhip sold, price drops on spanners & pliers

headset, seatpost & chainwhip are definitely sold

saddle, toe clips, freewheel and mudguards are available – price drops…

also… does anyone have a 44t chainring (144bcd) for retro campag pista and a 16t cog? or a retro-looking pista chainset like Andel? or silver track wheels?
let me know on this wanted thread please… thanks

Hello,
Does anyone have a 44t chainring suitable for campag record pista cranks (144bcd) and a 16t sprocket (both 1/8")? or maybe 17t, not sure which is a better ratio for city riding… I currently have 52x19t and it's a bit too hard on my knees. Would also be interested in a retro (Andel or similar) crankset and silver ss wheels (not too expensive but decent and true) with a flip-flop hub.
Let me know. Advice on ratios is also welcome.
Cheers, Tutu

headset, seatpost and chainwhip are sold pending payment

Dibs the mini mudguards. One morning this week archway station? Add the pliers and call it a tenner?

stars7 is just before you, but i can let you know if he falls through?

Dibs chain whip. P.s, what's the length of the seatpost from your other thread?

seatpost is about 13cm long (or rather short)
someone else is after chainwhip + seatpost, but if they fall through i can let you know

Dibs a brooks spanner thankyouplease (number 4 assuming that is for their saddles?)

sorry, none of those is a saddle spanner (it looks like this) – just the usual ones… two of them are pedal wrenches + spanners.
