you gonna convert it to fixed?
Nice one, Soweto!
conn artist:you gonna convert it to fixed?
That's a question worthy of Parky, CA. Totally innocuous at first glance while leaving me ample opportunity to get myself in bother with the moral majority. :-)
Honestly, I didn't know what I was going to do even as I handed over the cash. Riding it seemed like a good idea before making a decision. I was trying to stay open-minded cos it's hard to deny that stripping the gears off a bike in perfectly good nick is a bit of a shame. The guy I bought it from went to a lot of trouble acquiring parts. I didn't want to undo all his efforts without some thought.
Now I've ridden the bike, yeah, I probably will go for a conversion. Gear shifting is awkward. Push the lever too far and the chain drops off. I've already got a road bike with integrated shifters. Sure, it's nowhere near as nice as the Scot, but it's a lot easier to use. Shimano Sora beats vintage Campag Record, I'm afraid. If I leave the Scot the way it is, it won't get ridden. I'll always take the Specialized when I want a road bike and that'd be a shame, too.
So...the idea is to convert and ride the Scot as often as possible - no' just on sunny summer days. That's why I opted for such a bizarre colour. Yellow doesn't make me go all weak at the knees, so hopefully I'll no' be scared to use the bike.
good stuff, i would personally have no problem converting it but am sure others would have fit at the thought of it. look forward to seeing it out and about. it'll be even easier to spot you on it.
i'd be interested in the campy rear and front derailuers if you're getting rid of them
rabsda:i'd be interested in the campy rear and front derailuers if you're getting rid of them
And I thought vultures squawked. :-)
I'll keep you in mind if I decide to get rid of them, Rabsda.

That's a bargain. I reckon you could make your money back on that if you bought the bike kept the wheels and sold the rest.

From reading the advert, it sounds to me like he's only selling the rear wheel.

why would he give details of the forks, headset, frame etc then?

Sorry - I meant as well as them - it was just that you mentioned keeping the wheels.

ahh
somebody buy it......
Kashimax FG-4P for £27 posted. Not bad.
Oh that looks good! Someone bid high on it eh :P
Getafix:Check the wheels on this.
guy says will sell it for 150
Ye, I saw that, the wheels alone would sell for more, it's really badly advertised.
Nicked, shirley.
aye it does look a bit suspect. the way it's described as a "racer" when it's quite a specialist bike... but then the additional info has quite a few details....
PHONE DAZ
Clearly nicked...
Bagsy, Shotgun, mine mine mine!

all sorts of bridgestones and other japanese luvelys in the 52 to 54 region.
This is the Vitus I was telling you about last night James.
Ahh wishbone seatstays... never fail to make my legs go weak
Bank_street_baller:Ahh wishbone seatstays... never fail to make my legs go weak
Wishbone stays look rank.
rusty:
Wishbone stays look rank.
They can sometimes look okay on someroad bikes (a TT bike for example) but never a track bike.
Well yes they have to be done right. The wishbone seat stays on Trek MBT's make me feel a little ill, but them maybe thats because i have to look at them all day long....
Cheers, Billie bob, that may soon be mine!
Mine on Sunday, now what am I going to do with it!?!?! Tourer? Cross bike? Hmm.
Nice Scot, looks like track ends...
It'll be interesting to see what this goes for.
Getafix:It'll be interesting to see what this goes for.
Jesus. £340 with two days still left to go!
As nice as it is, I'd just buy a Brooks.

I sold a similar one for £162 on ebay, mine was used and had been sitting in my mums garage for about 30 years.
Another one for the tall boys. Badly advertised track frame.
