In never gets cold in my nether regions. Maybe the end of my knob as most.

aah well it must be warm in the city then, down the road here in stratford it gets awfully chilly!

just ride in the cold, problem solved

advice needed guys, SE draft lite for little initial dorrah but will need new cranks, wheels, fork and bar and stem, (and its hi-ten) or the lager for a bit more and only need to buy new bars and stem, maybe wheels in the future

no romance these days

that bike is a one off designed by Trek then scribbled on by Lance Armstrong, (like katie price does with perfume and books)..no place in here for it blah blah legend blah
Fixed OP

I agree I think I may invest in a bar stem combo to help it look a little prettier as I really don't want to put this on ebay, i'd prefer it to stay in the forum family

Stem and risers won't be for sale I'm afraid, selling the full bike. I'm open to offers of £500 posted

Ok, so maybe risers aren't everyone's cup of tea, here are some fresh photos:


Tight clearances all round:

Lovely lugs:

I can be down in a week or so for collection from Mill Hill Broadway NW7
or I will discuss postage options with the buyer Still asking for just £500

buyer will also get anything or everything they like from My other for sale thread and I should be able to sort out some other bits too, so come on guys please buy my bicycle!
all the best and happy riding

wow: 100% pure ebay anti

YouTube- Biking Fail

looks like the gear shifter, also the brakes look to be hydraulic, see the banjo connection to the caliper and those brake levers look like they have a reservoir for fluid just above the actual lever, thats just crazy and stupid enough to be a bit cool

cheers for the interest everyone, so far all PMs have been replied to, postage looks to be around £25ish however I am planning to be down in the next week or so, so pickup from Mill Hill broadway or train station would definitely be possible, (zone 5, overground from kings cross) cheers again everyone

I am 5ft 9 and this fits me perfectly, the saddle to bar drop is lovely as well, and to nuknow its not just a trip abroad, my sisters finding it really tough living overseas and were each doing what we can to help her out, I'm going over there to help her out for a week

I am a little weary of writing this, but here goes, I have decided to sell my Carlton, the bike is absolutely perfect, everything runs beautifully and I am regretfully selling it to fund plane tickets to visit my sister whilst she is living abroad.
deep breath...



Un-badged Carlton Flyer Track, (identifyed as a carlton due to the signature wrapover seatstay) Full 531 frame and fork with Campagnolo track and fork ends. 53cm seattube, 56 cm TT
Campagnolo Record Pista Front hub and on-one double fixed Sealed cartridge Rear Hub, both laced 36h to silver Rigida dp18 rims, (built by one of the UK's top wheel builders Russell Cashmore) wrapped in continental gatorskin 23c's.
Campagnolo Record Pista fluted Cranks with lightly used 49T ring and original camopagnolo BB with brand new bearings.
Selle italia turbo saddle
Currently running a 72 GI with a 49-18 ratio.

The bike has covered less than 100miles and as a result everything is in fantastic condition no dents, dings scratches or tarnishing. As you can see the frame produces lovely Tight Clearances and gives the bike a lovely lively feel, the fork is drilled for a brake and brake and lever are included.

As you can tell I love this bike to bits, I took my time to build it and have fortunately only ridden it in dry weather, I am asking for £500 collected from either Henley in Arden, Birmingham, Stratford upon avon or I can potentially arrange a time when I can be down for a zone 5 pick up.

buyer has their option of risers, black classic taped bullorns or I could find some Brand new Drops. If you have any Questions or would like some more photographs please drop me a PM or I can give you a number if preferred.

thanks for looking everyone
Blake

badass fork

nope its a BMX saddle by blank,http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Images/Models/Original/32126-1.jpg

did the purple guy spend all his money on his wheels and just went bargain bin diving for everything else? at least he has foot retention...

Pap idea. Get two bikes.

i'd say great idea, summer cross geared, winter cross SS, less washing to do in the pits mid race, my jump bike has a similar system so i run it geared with vertical drop-outs in the summer and SS with horizontals in the winter to save my gears

oh, whats that mic doing there?

the bottle cages are still available the mount is sold i'm afraid

I had a real problem with firefox insecurity yesterday, chrome blocks sites that potentially host malware or is hosting data that is hosted on a malware infected site, I used firefox for two minutes on stumbleupon and managed to get the desktop security 2010 virus, took me two hours to get rid of, grrr

everything in the list still available, 19T sprocket added, come on polo guys!

star wars run anyone?

I picked up this frame last year at a bike Jumble.

It has "John Atkins" written on it. It turns out John Atkins was Britains best ever Cyclocross Rider. Info here

The period of the frame seems to be right for the frame to be one of his, but it could just be a frame sold through his bike shop.

Snipped

It seems to be for 27" wheels, but the geometry is surprisingly tight & racey. It is 531 and the large parts where paint has flaked away have almost no rust. It has nice thick cast lugs too. If the lengths of the top tubes and seat tubes where reversed this would workout my perfect size. If I build it up I would need to use risers or an upwardly pointed stem. I do not want to do the former and dont have the latter. So this will probably not fit well if/when I build it up.

I am not planning to repaint this, I might clear coat over the the flakey bits though and just leave it with its aged look. Ill put centre pull brakes on it and some new 27" wheels which I have begun building. I have am unsure whether to have a fixed wheel or coaster brake however. I dont mind multiple types of braking as this will be a good winter bike.

I have ordered some panaracer pasela's for it too.

coaster brake FTW, should be a nice build though

I know right- but only plastic surgery can help me know!

don't be defeatist! it doesn't need to be taken that far maybe just to the....
