Anyway, not wanting to get into an argument about the merits/inherent dangers of 650c/700c lo-pro geometry, the forks are included for convenience and could be swapped if necessary. I still think it is a good price for the frame alone, which is in A1 condition.
-
To tell the truth it didn't feel that much different when I swapped it to 700c - the angles are pretty slack regardless, although it did have bullhorns on it originally.
Not had any problems so far...

I agree it would better suit a 650c front fork but I sold the original alloy (!) one fork a while back. Still easy to come across a replacement mind, and the chromed 700c Mosers are mint.

ha, this is an administrative nightmare (not helped by arbitrary LFGSS post deletion), smaller posts next time methinks...
Sorry Benjy, in your first PM you said dibs on stem, I will put you down for risers only atm.
-
Hi Benjy,
You got dibs on stem and risers (pre deletion!) but not seatpost, PM on the way.

NOS Gazelle trackframe
http://link.marktplaats.nl/353216059]Errrr, I don't think the Impala is a track bike...

Get a new wheelset, saddle + seatpost. It's not the end of the world, Mavic Aksiums (or similar) will cost around £160. Chances are if the bike is flashy enough to draw attention its not the best bike to leave outside a pub, whatever gearing is on it.
Use Cyclescheme to get a cheap(er) off-the-peg single speed for around £500-600 (less 40% of course) plus some extra security. See http://www.lfgss.com/thread9085.html for inspiration. Use this as a pub bike.
-
After some 75's, any condition will do - marked, scratched etc - with or without chainring.
Must be able to post up North too please, will pay reasonable postage charge.
Cheers

isn't it just an old Regina 5spd freewheel, I'd imagine Park FR4 and a vice would do the job. new s/s freewheel would be one option but you might have to seriously redish to get the chainline right

Flaming: harsh but fair? Discuss? Ok, £600 was never a particulary realistic price to ask - and he probably could have made an easy £100 flogging it on Ebay - but what is the business plan here? Even sitting on my lofty 'I work in an LBS' high horse, I would never have though that pedalling a combination of overpriced new goods together with dubious second-hand wares, especially when parts/resprays etc are likely being bought/done at retail rather than trade (I'd imagine, I'm open to correction of course), is really a viable model. Setting your prices to cover costs in this manner simply won't work because the market isn't prepared to pay what you will need to charge. Where is the benefit in this scheme and more importantly the profit margain? Plus, simply saying 'I didn't know about the second-hand "fixie" market, you're all being cnuts' isn't really an excuse becasue even 5 minutes of basic market research would have told you that you were overpricing to the nth degree. On the plus side, the website is just about on a par with Bob Jackson's and Argos in terms of design and they're both doing alright...
Secondly, I worry about what capacity you're really selling your bikes in? Are you going to guarantee the workmanship on the GBBF or is it sold-as-seen? Do you offer any warranty on the new parts, do you yourself have accredited mechanical experience, e.g. Cytech, actually work for Airnimal etc, or is this purely a whimsical cowboy operation? I wouldn't expect this of a normal second-hand seller of course, but I've had experience with 'bodge-up-and-sell-on' bike merchants before and since you seem to be intent on setting up an actual business here I think this needs clarification, if only for the poor nodders who might eventually end up with your finished product.
Oh and purleeese tell me that's a freewheel on that Perks...

dibs on NOS royce road, pm'd

Contact http://matuzmaster.hu/, they have a wide selection of NOS chromed forks in all sizes and will ship to UK no probs (even cut/thread the steerer to length for you if you ask). Look out for the tasty Moser flat-shoulder 700c, they'd look amazing on any bike.
