I have a Specialized Awol in large which I might pass on if the price is right. Either as frame or half / full build.

Updated the post

Yes this is still available.

Well the combo is priced so low to get rid of both of them together which I would prefer.

Some lug details and a better impression of the color.

The fork

I have this beauty of a track bike which doesn't get the attention it deserves so I'll give it away to a new home.
I don't actually know what make the frame is judging from the nice lugs, the Campagnolo dropouts and the RGF stamped bottom bracket it should be something quite decent and it is in very good condition. It has a lot of similarities to this one: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/221587/
I got the frame raw and it was powder coated by the old Armourtex in a awesome turquoise lacquer which is a bit sparkly.

The frame comes with the original, undrilled and matching powder coated track fork as well as a chrome BLB flat crown fork to ride it with a front brake. The lugs from the BLB fork are very similar to the ones on the frame.

The frame measures 56 c-c by 56 c-c and is a great fit for me being 184cm.

Feel free to PM me for questions. The bike is in SW17 but I could bring it to work in E8.

I'll start with £500 for the complete bike but I am open for offers.
I would like to avoid splitting but might consider if there is enough interest for most of the parts.

Now £475

//Edit: the colour is actually a bit brighter than in the pictures.

Some small things I want to get rid of.
Collection in SW17 in the evening or E8 during the day.
No dibs. Who ever can pick up first will get it.

Just did that conversion myself with WTB Horizons. They fit but it's quite tight in the back. I can take a picture of it later at home.

I had a similar experience with the 700c x 45 WTB Riddlers. I found them impossible to fit the my rim evenly. They would always wobble. I returned them and went for 43 Gravelkings which fitted instantly.
A few days ago I tried to fit WTB Horizons to my 650B wheel set using an airshot. Took me about 8 tries to seat them evenly. I am seriously considering to switch to Gravelkings here as well.

I would be willing to give it a try and pass it on for the same price if it doesn't fit.

Also Interested in the clearance but for 65ob.

Updated the thread. Removed sold bits and adjusted prices etc.

Until recently I rode a 1x9 42t / 11-36 setup with Dura Ace 9 speed bar end shifters operating a generic Deore (RD-M531?) rear derailleur. Worked pretty well. For climbs while touring I wanted another cog in the back. I updated to Dura Ace 10 speed bar ends operating a Shimano XT M772 (still 9 speed because of the same pull ratio) on a sunrace 11-40 cassette. It works similarly well on the first 9 cogs but could be better on the 10th 40T cog. I bought a cheap version of the lindarets roadlink and will see how that works out. The whole compatibility thing is shit though.

I spoke to Evans and preordered the 700c x 43 in store. Apparently the next delivery from Panaracer is scheduled for the end of the month.

It is an awesome deal. I bought one of those and rode it on my last tour. This was my most comfortable setup so far.

Does somebody have a recommendation for forks?
I am looking for something like the Fyxation Sparta All Road Carbon Fork for a 650B conversion. Non tapered.

Interested in the brifters if you split.

I think it was 8mm generic steel rod from leylands.

@Colonel_of_Truth is on point.

Re Handlebar Support: For the next tour I am going to use some elastic straps against the head tube to keep the support in place. It was sometimes jumping a bit on bumpy trails.

I didn't liked my handlebar roll hanging down and dangling around so I made a support from a £2 Leylands steel rod. Inspired by Nittos F16 handlebar bag support. No tools needed just the rod and something to bend it around. In my case the staircase railing worked fine. Later I used some isolation tape to prevent scratches and noise. Worked very well on a 5 day trip.
