In the photo it looks to say CXP30 rather than 32, or am I going blind? I don't know if that makes any difference anyway.

Think the 30 is actually a better rim. Then i would say that as im rollin on 30s

(I don't need a bag so knock yourselves out!)

Good find. My brother already has a Tifosi bag but if he didn't I'd be all over that.

Anyone for a project (or fancy a cheap brooks saddle)?

For £25 I'm tempted. Sounds like a bargain almost regardless of what it is actually like.

i actually emailed, prob just for the saddle alone but sadly its sold all ready...

Also, quite a nice solid-specced sounding Surly Steamroller for £450, size 56cm:

Ah well. I'd just emailed too. Saves me wondering...

^^^thats been reposted on gumtree a few times...was initially part of a two bike sale last summer...they were looking close to £1000 for both i think.

Seems like a reasonable deal to me if it's in good nick. Thankfully it's not special enough to generate any real +1 fever in me. Though it is the right size...

flying scot anyone? -

its my size too. could be a wee project for me.

Looks like the bottom braket has been striped and there is a threaded insert.

true - might just give this a miss. really want to get my hands on a flying scot tho.

Well, if anyone is interested, Glasgow Gear shop has a 'Lo-Pro' Style frameset in the basement of the shop laying about. It's about a 56-58cm, I'm sure if you ask one the guys you could check it out and buy it. It was used as a roadie so I'm sure it wouldn't cost much.

Billy Bilsland Cycles has a couple of Flying Scot frames (I think two, perhaps just the one though) hanging up in the shop. I can't recall the size, but I'll check next time I'm in. They've been resprayed & refurbished and I believe they'll be looking for proper money for them.

Theres quite a few shops in Glasgow with Flying Scots hanging around but their not usually for sale. "Rainy day" or sumthin like that.
Clarkston Cycle Centre has a couple of road frames and a track frame. When i asked the owner why he had them hanging and not in use he told me he already had "a few" built and in occasional use.

I noticed a rather beautiful deep green one in there before christmas...
You live out that way?

Yeah, bit further out of town in Newton Mearns.

Ouch. That's some expensive paint.

Shit. I really want one of those as well. Too late.

They're not particularly expensive straight from the source. I wonder if there's ever been a UK group buy?

Urban Hunter have them in the UK...

Don't worry, just blethering to myself, sure you were already aware of all this from the lfgss forum that I was only just reading.

I've bought a couple of frames on e-bay for about £50-£60 including postage. I would consider them both to be better than that and with sensible (not French) threads. One was an '80s 531 Ribble, and one was a n early '90sTrue Temper chro-mo Schwinn Paramount.

If you keep your eyes peeled you can often buy a complete 531 eighties road bike for about £100.

Seriously nice Condor on e-bay at the moment for a good price. BIN is £550 (IIRC these are £1300 new) and it's had next to no use:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=190279706318



can someone please buy it so i'm not tempted - i don't need another track bike!

I've been tempted twice to buy it. There was a Weigh frame that went for £150 on Sunday as well, but I was in hospital when I was going to bid on it.

If i didn't already have a dedicated track bike that i'm not using, i'd have bought it by now..........i don't want to upset my poor dolan though.

Neither gumtree nor eBay, but I just got a barebones cycle computer from Tesco for £1.50! Heading out the now to see how it fares. Speed, odometer, trip distance & trip time only, but I thought I'd take a punt for that kind of change.

if you found an amazin frame on ebay but it had this on the listing -

The only other minor problem is that the adjusters on the rear drop outs, one missing, one snapped.

would you pursue it, could you get away without them?

yeah the adjusters on my mercian frame were rusted and I had to get them off. Alright without them.

Or is this a track frame? If so break them off and use tugs instead.

Yep, both my e-bay buys have had rusted in adjusters just snap them off.

That Mercian looks nice enough although a frame of that vintage will be built for 27" wheels so will have pretty slack clearances.

its more of a back up i have my eye on something else finishing tomorrow.

Aye, thats the one.

I don't know what you want the frame for, but there's an Olmo ending in a couple of days £50 + £15 p&p (no bids yet), it'd make a good fixed conversion. Not too many braze ons and fastback seatstays, I've got a bit of a fastback fetish.

I just don't get it.

[quote][cite] euan:[/cite]I just don't get it.

its for stupid c**** in LDN to prance about on.

Nasty.

[quote][cite] euan:[/cite]I just don't get it.

i like it. i'd love a pursuit frame like that..........it could be better built though.

I think they're a pile of wank personally. It looks like a normal frame was used as a prop in a 'world's strongest man' competition and now they're selling the result.

This looks pretty awesome but only as a track machine.

Bridgestone keirin frame in Edinburgh. What you bid is what you pay.

I was reluctant to post it up as it's my size (kind of) but then I remembered. I have no money to be buying keirin frames.

edit: It's also a Bridgestone frame (the bottom of the pile for NJS frames).

Yeah I spied it on my searches as well. Smaller than my Mercian frame but I would probably get a 50cm frame these days.

Bottom bracket is worth about £50 and the headset £70 though.

Good point. I never really think about that when drooling over NJS frames. They're not really all that expensive when you factor that in (provided you were choosing to use NJS headset and bottom-bracket).

Again comes down to whether they are worth the money blah blah blah. You never know what has happened with a raced NJS frame as well. All those stories of cracked fork crowns and stuff.

Bontranger wheel set anyone?
