Ill-fitting Giant Omnium. I'll keep an eye out for you tomorrow if you're there.

(Disclaimer I own a Donhou) Are you ruling Donhou out based on the price of a complete DSS1 build? Tom's prices for a full custom frame are pretty much on par with other British framebuilders so I wouldn't expect Demon/Feather/Talbot to much different in cost. I'll also give a mention that Tom is absolutely lovely and really makes the entire process easy.

Sorry for slow reply Kenn. The frame is 55cm c-t (pretty sure ESBs are all one size but anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

Was at basics yesterday, was a fairly fun session. What were you riding?

Price dropped

I've passed the bike threshold again and so reluctantly this ESB has to go.

Fillet brazed ESB frame.
DMR Trailblade 2 forks.
Original TIG welded ESB forks (shown separately).
Profile 165mm cranks with Profile spline drive spocket and hollow axle.
Shadow Conspiracy saddle.
Truvativ stem.
Narrow Cinelli bars with ODI Longneck grips.
Oddessy Twisted pedals with (almost new) BLB straps (not pictured).
Front Halo Freedom Disc wheel.
Rear Bontrager front disc converted to 120mm spacing with almost new Velo Solo 15T cog.

I'd been using with a Hope C2 disc brake, hence the DMR fork. I don't want to split the frame from it's original fork so both are being included. If you'd like to have a front disc on it I've got the C2 and I'm happy to negotiate adding to the sale.

Based in West Norwood but I work near Old Street so could ride it in one day if that helped.

£425

Also interested!

@Velocio
Apologies for bumping a three year old thread but I didn't think it warranted a fresh one.

May I ask who you used to machine your axle?

Drops.

Additional clearer images of the scuffs on the X2.
Free tyre and tubes added.

Thread updated and prices dropped.

Located in West Norwood 2 minutes from the station. Possible to bring into central on weekdays to meet at work (near LMNH) or posted at buyer's expense.

49cm Women's Specialized Crossroads Hu8 frame and forks - £35
Harvested this for parts for another bike. Comes with seat post, headset, BB, mudguards, v-brakes (will need new pads.) Frame is straight but plenty of scratches.

Hercules New Yorker frame and forks - £20
54cm centre to top. Gaspipe special, chips all over, cottered BB, headset needs a good clean and greasing but nothing stopping it being a perfectly functional bike once built up.

Giant Omnium (Large) - £400
Bought the frame and fork off AngelD a couple of years ago and have since used it sparingly at HHV. Moving house soon and I've not been to track in 18 months so I can't justify keeping hold of it any longer. Stiff as and really deserves to be ridden as tarck or track. The paint by the way is a white pearlescent with a few chips that I've photographed, and generally the bike could use a good clean

It's built up with FSA carbon track cranks, Factory 5 49T chainring, Speedplay pedals, Zipp Service Course bars, Deda stem, ISM Adamo saddle. Wheels are weird and won't be for everyone but they were my commuting set and are:
Front - Atom Lab 6-bolt disc, bolt on laced to H+Son Archetype
Rear - Atom Lab 6-bolt disc 20mm front hub converted to run ISO bolt on cogs with a machined adapter to make it 10mm bolt on, laced to H+Son Archetype

Would like £400 for hopefully a quick sale but feel free to shout at/mock me if you disagree.

Based 2 minutes form West Norwood Station, but work around the corner from LMNH so could bring it in one day, otherwise happy to post at buyer's expense (however I will prioritise local pickup).

Grey or GTFO..

(Almost) always this. So sometimes this. However in this case, definitely this.

Definitely not the original nor Ti I'm afraid.

It's a technically a rear however I've had it on the front with a long arse recessed bolt, which it's coming with. Hope that makes sense.

Hi Chris,

The Pre Cursa will have 100mm spacing at the front and 120mm rear. Those skewers are designed for 100mm front and 135mm rear so would not work on a 120mm rear with out modification I'd expect. Furthermore most track/fixed/single speed wheels will use a bolt on axle or some description and not a quick release axle that these require and being a standard allen key head they provide very little extra security.

There are multiple other options at varying price points that would provide more peace of mind against opportunist theft if double locking (or removing the front wheel) is something you don't want to do. Places like Atomic 22 (although I can understand the expense is daunting but many on here swear by them.
Less costly are some of the offerings from Pinhead or Pit Lock which also use a proprietary tool. If that's still too much of an investment and you're going to be using wheels with quick release axles then there are sets that use a penta-key (rather than allen key) like these from Trans-X.

I personally cannot speak with authority as to how much additional security each provides (bar the Trans-X which I know to very simple to force but still a little trickier than a straight allen key) but all can be undone without their respective tools (there was a large thread sometime ago now regarding this although I'm unable to find it now sorry.)

Having a slim down of all the bits I have and don't really need, I'll be updating as I run through all my hidey holes in the flat and will try to keep it to the one thread so apologies for frames in the wrong sub-forum. All items are in West Norwood (possible meet up LMNH/Old St area) or post at buyer's expense (this will delay the sale a bit just to warn!)
Dibs in thread followed by a PM please.

Also selling a Giant Omnium frame and fork, Women's Specialized Hu8 frame and fork and a Hercules New Yorker women's frame.

Michelin Pro Race 23c tyre - Free

~10 tubes - Free

Misc Shimano Coaster brake rear wheel - £15
Comes with tyre, tube and 13t sprocket. Weighs a tonne, tyre is pretty bald but is signed by Sweedee so swings and roundabouts.

Atax stem - £10
Good condition, 110mm

Leave earlier, take a detour. Just think of all the cats you've not yet befriended!

Have you tried looking at v-sprint?

Or getting a Novatec hub built up on to a Mavic Open Pro or a Deep V/H+Son if you want another deep rim?

Static is absolutely fine (as is flashing). Other cyclist is a pillock if they were inferring that you are legally obliged to have flashing lights. For reference:
