If I'll keep it I'll probably throw some 700c keirin forks on it as the have significantly smaller a2c measurement in comparison to the Wound up. This time I won't be in a hurry to paint the forks though - leasson learned with the 24" fork :D
These had different fork then GTB or Pulse. The crown is verry different. You can google it and probably find a pic of the crown. In addition, I think that the GTB steel forks aren't that tight clearanse wise and would look very similar to the wound up.

The BB height was around 25.5cm which is quite low. Could be usable with 165mm cranks and clipless pedals but not ideal for tight corners and street riding. But I guess that a 24" forks ain't ideal to streets anyhow :)
If it doesn't sell now I'll give it another try with some 165mm cranks and clipless pedals and lets see where that takes me.

^At the time we discussed about this matter I still thought it was made for 24" fork. So yeah I didn't know about this when you were showing interest to the bike. Kinda impossible for me to tell about it:) I've ridden it twice with a 520c fork and on the first time I somewhat managed to drive it w/o pedals touching to the ground but on the second time I realised how bad it was after I drove a bit more and in more unflat environment.. The second time was maybe week ago and we discussed around one month back. But yeah sorry that I failed to tell you this info!
^^One gt pursuit owner said that his bb height is ca. 28cm from the ground and this is a bit higher with 700c wheels. I'm not 100% sure if the frame is made for 700c fork either as there's no way to confirm this matter. Could be made for 650c in the beginning.
apollo, zoom in - there's no cog;) It's a light weight build:D

So most of you might have seen this here before with a 24" wheel. I bought the bike with info that it was a 24" pursuit version. Built it up and shit... the angles were awkward and the bb-height was way too low to be driven - the cranks wouldn't spin if you tilted the bike even a bit.
I tried it with couple 700c forks and the angles are now sensible with a proper bb-height. The measurements are ST c-c 57,eTT 56,5 c-c and HT ca. 11,4cm. BB height 29,3cm and angles are AROUND ST 75-degrees and HT 74-degrees. Fork's steerer tube length 16cm. Please be aware that the angles have been measured by hand and therefore they aren't accurate!

The frame has scratches around it and especially the rear triangle isn't in the best shape. You can find some additional pics in my Flickr. Most of the pics are with 24" fork but you can see the condition of the frame probably and if you want more pics pls. just ask.
With the 700c fork the frame is unfortunately just too long for me and I've to sell it. Sold for 370€ locally. Donation will be made if it sells here.

My thoughts about the repainting. Don't put just lacquer or if you do it it's better to cover it up in some stone hit tape made for cars. My painter put like 6 layers of lacquer on it and couldn't take the finnish winter at all. Are you gonna use it as a good weather bike or all arounder?
The rust it has have been there in the same condition from early february. I was supprised that it stood put. On rainy days it will just drip that rusty water.
I was looking into clear coat powdercoat before I decided to sell it but found also some pics that showed this method turning the whole bike more in to a goldish direction. I didn't personally like that at all.
Build is looking good though!

I've some extra Mavic 3G hubs with 7spd screw-on freewheels.

Bearings feels good and I've no idea how to know if the freewheel stuff is in good condition - advice me and I'll check:) These came with wheels and I've no usage for them. The other one comes with a QR but I'll have to check if I can find more QRs.
Price would be 50-> 40€ per hub shipped as economy letter to EU. This price doesn't include any tracking, sorry.

I'm gonna ask here, hopefully it's okay.
I'll be moving to Birmingham in September. I've been looking for some rooms to rent, but any tips for areas to avoid - city center (inside A4540) okayish in general?
If you've or your friend has a spare room in Birmingham city center available starting from mid-September shoot me a message.
Will be dragging a bike with me so maybe I can join you guys from some drives and beers.

Secondly, I've a seatpost to go with the seat, Selle Italia Flite Carbon Titanium 27.2mm. The seatpost is in good order just some lacquer has peeled of which can be seen in the pics. This doesn't have any effect to usage except the outlooks. It measures 220mm from the clamp to the end.
65gbp for the post
I'd prefer pick-up from Birmingham but I'm willing to post at buyers expense.
