After much thought, I've decided to sell my frame & forks.
I was gonna keep it and stick some sweet 2.0's on it with an alfine and turn it into an awesome 'street hybrid' but the fact is I can't justify doing that right now.
So I'd much rather see it on court and being loved.So here's what's for sale:
-14 Custom Frame with space sparkle paint. 73bb, 135 rear. Size wise I'm 5'10 and it's great. Would easily work for someone smaller too.
There's 2 tiny dents from epic battles. They're not so noticable and don't effect the bike. Epic stickers! Rear has removable v-brake mounts. There is a disc mount but tbh I don't think it works with cable disc caliper do to the moving arm and spacing. Silly i know. Should work with hydraulic though. Though who actually wants a rear brake anyway?!-2 x Forks.
I'm including the OG rakeless pair which have v-brake mounts. They have a small dent where I fell down a hole when doing drunken filming. Doesn't effect them though and paint it all good.
You may prefer that 0 rake thing so might aswell have them.Other pair are Echo trials alu forks for disc brake. They have rake and make this bike handle really well. You'll be able to turn people inside out! It's true.
They're light and strong. I prefer the feel of these.
These alu forks + disc set-up inc rotor weighs less than OG fork and v-brakes!-Cult integrated headset.
This builds up into great bike. It can handle big tyres no prob too.
I have occasionally had pedal strike but tbh I'm using wide bmx cranks on a 73bb and the q factor is wide. Needs some nice hollowtech shit.
I also turn stupidly low.
I'm selling due to a new 14 Bike Co opportunity.The F&F cost me £550. I'd like £350 for it.
Will be available end of November.
No posting unless you arrange collection.It's a top grade custom polo frame with good geo.
The wheels, rotor guard, seatpost, seatclamp, cranks etc may be for sale too if interested...
With front disc set-up / alu forks.
Older pic with OG fork.Let me know if you need more info.

Jimmy give us a proper full on side shot!

Awww I miss Rotten Apples!

Shuffling sucks. Don't do it.
-
Todd, were you at the farmers market in E17 this Sunday? Sure I saw you out the corner of my eye!
Yup. Gettin' my sausages and ting.
-
Great news.
But what about finding the guy who stole it? Where was it bought? Advertised? Police? -
Looks awesome. Love the simplicity.
-
It's a tough one. They're great in the wet but you need to take extra care with them.
I've bent mine a few times despite having a great Max Power guard.
I'm undecided whether to continue with a front disc for the next build.
BB7 for sure with good cable. Cable is really important to get the most out of the brake.
They're also quite heavy.V-brakes are simple and effective. Light and easy to adjust. Just not amazing in wet conditions...
-
Noooooo! Hope you get it back. That's terrible news :(
-
Brendan must be away. Maybe we should just get it anyway and hope he can suggest a way to digitise it.
-
68 is standard so no prob. Should link up ok to a 135 rear.
You don't need a longer axle as you're not changing BB size. -
I want black and white! Opportunity missed Badger!**

Badger - Blue & Black
Sombra - Blue or Orange
Jamie -
Mark Canterbury -
Bogey - Green & White?
Todd - Black & WhiteWho's yellow then?
-
Knowing B, he'd probably just suggest projecting it and then recording it from the projection. Be good to hear what he thinks though...
-
They don't look like they're going up in size apart from the seattube. Then they all look like saddle is at same height. Bit weird. TT must change... Any geo info?
Like the look of the small. -
oooouuuyeah wicked todd cant wait is great juyjuyjuy
We need to decide who wears what colour facepaint!
-
^That's a meme right there!

Ryan should be 1st preference if you can do that.
But you need to get down there and see him ideally and have a chat about your play.
Supporting local is a nice thing to do.
So far all frames have been complete custom so they all feel different.
Set-up is a whole other thing too.14 are picking their business back up and use Lee Cooper to build their polo frames.
You would have to spec geo though or ride someones 14 and tell them which one you want. The zero rake thing is optional. Cam has rake. I switched out my forks for a raked fork too. So needs to be considered at least. 14 are building some new polo frames so you might want to hold out and see what they ride like?
It's still supporting a local London company yet they they need to be told what the players need unlike Ryan, Max, etc.
I love the look of the 14's.With Merino you have to be precise with your geo. Better to get one of Alejandro's. PK's rides really well and I'm excited to try Julias. Always dangerous ordering something you're not so sure about. Seen some odd geo choices with Merino. Cheap though.
I love the feel of the Riding In Circles frames. One of the nicest I've ridden.
Woods' bike is awesome.I like the look of the Joust wide. Bit more relaxed at the rear which I think is good.
Dodici are good. Heavy?
Max Power are really nice. I'd definitely consider one.
Fixcraft? Not quite there imo. more suited to 700cNot sure about others except a triton ti frame would be pretty rad.

Not much more than a Merino surely...
Dibs to JB. Be great to see ya.
Disc guard is new Max Power.
If that fits my new forks I shall be hanging on to it.
