Sorry for the bump but these are the exact wheels I'm after, does anyone have some?
-
Pm'd! (provisional dibs)
EDIT: Undibs, bargain though!
-
Do you know what the tubing is Sash? Is it Falck? tretubi? (Basing this on things I've seen in the moser catalogue linked above!)
-
2nd Dibs, pending questions.

That respray will have cost about twice what that frame is worth.
-
I hope no one buys it before I get a chance to. It's a peach.
Those clearances.

I'm planning to buy a set of DA 7600 hubs from Phil The Power Taylor on eBay and am after some rims to go on them. CD's seem to be the most understated grey/black rims I can find for a reasonable price.
As they're £50 each new, I'm not looking to pay more than that but would happily buy a set of them laced to any decent track hubs, up to around £250 - which is what I'm looking at paying after buying hubs/rims/spokes.Anyone got anything?
Cheers

I go away from the computer for a couple of hours and this happens.

^^^^^^^
That! Where's a nice Islay Lagavulin when you're looking for one.The Balvenie's an alright drop.
No Lagavulin, mind. -
Currently debating whether those Record wheels work, or whether I should get some DA black ones instead. If I stick with the records,

http://i.imgur.com/2ysz2.jpgRecord ones for sure. Not keen on the others at all. Second build looks nice.
Yeah, those first wheels are junk, but work for my commute. They're heavy, and look like crap, but give me an impression of what black rims/hubs look like on the bike.
The real question is silver or black and low profile or deep rims.
I love the Records, but I'm not sure they suit such a late 90s paint job, I think black/graphite would look better. -
I'd split it to be honest, OP. Clean up the frame a bit and you'd probably get an alright price for it. Likewise for the crankset and wheels.
-
Prob the way it looks like the forks protrude above the headset and the way the seatpost stays up without a bolt to hold it...
Oh aye, didn't even notice that. I thought the forks looked bent, that clearance between down tube and wheel is weird, especially considering the rear clearance at the back. Although obviously the forks aren't original, so I think that's confusing me.
-
Dglshrn that in the first pic looks really nice, not sure the wheels work in the second though, black DAs would be sexy
Yeah, Black does seem to work with the blue colourway better I think.
On the lookout for a set of 7600 (or similar) clinchers, if anyone has anything.
-
French track frame bought off here for track and (dry) road use.
Pretty much NOS, made of SLX.
First picture with some beater Condor wheels for road, and second with Record tubs for track (yeah, that front tub is flat).Currently debating whether those Record wheels work, or whether I should get some DA black ones instead. If I stick with the records, I'd like to get a C-Record or DA crankset to match the silver...
Also, yes, short stem - I appear to have sold the 100mm one I had that fit the Criteriums. Seems to work on the short spin I've just had on it though, doesn't feel too cramped. I prefer riding further over the back wheel anyway.
And yes, needs a bigger chainring. I have a 52-18 set up on another bike that I can swap over when Herne Hill reopens to give me track gearing by swapping out the cog.

Look at these! FAB for a period project and cheap enough too:
Is this your listing?
-
Soz if reeps.
Nice "vintage" wheelset w/ tubs freewheel etc for £50 bin / £30 no bids 1 day left - seems OK to me.
They have been posted before. I think the issue is the non original rear skewer/QR. Still a good deal though, those tubs are £19 each new, so (crudely) £12 for a set of Record wheels?
Rims do seem to have a fair amount of wear as well.
-
What do you mean he 'didn't like the look of the forks'?
-
Man, that internal routing on the bottom bracket.
-
Yeah, fair point. I'm sure stolen stuff does end up in pawn shops though, they can't all be reputable.
I know they're usually hot on taking ID of people for frequently stolen things (I've seen people trying to flog PS3s etc with the "oh, sorry mate, I don't have any ID on me, my address is uh..." without success) but stuff must slip through.
Just sets alarm bells ringing for a bike that was bought a few months ago to have been sold to a pawn shop for, presumably, a massive loss (depends what JRKO bought it for, I suppose). -
sure! i've seen in flesh, how would i know otherwise? guy appeared to know nothing about the bikes...or pretends so...
Ah ha, I thought maybe you'd seen more pictures or something.
Either way, sold for £310, someone's going to be unhappy when they find out.
It's a shame you can't contact bidders on eBay anymore, feel like they should be told! -
Could it have been stolen? (Not suggesting you did, obviously, but does anyone sell stuff to pawn shops legitimately?)
-
Oh have you been to see?
