I bought this lovely track frame on ebay, but since I won't be drilling the forks I'm rolling brakeless... to stop me crashing (again) I think I need some form of braking assistance!
I don't fancy those clamp-on brakes, much rather some nice road forks to go with the frame - I did spend a few quid on the rest of it so don't want to cut any financial corners just for the sake of it. They need to be 1" threaded, ideally straight or with minimal rake/trail and have a long steerer - since I have a 20cm headtube the steerer needs to be somewhere around 24cm I think - I'd rather longer so I can cut down if needs be though. I don't think I'm going to get a colour match to the frame, so I'm after silver chrome. And if I'm being picky a nice flat crown...
I've asked in loads of bike shops from Evans to Tour De Ville to eBay but not got anywhere. If anyone has anything they would sell, or can point me towards somewhere/one that does I would be very grateful.
Frame pics attached, I haven't got round to photographing it built up - been too busy riding it ;)

I expect you could get more..?
Indeed... £41?
;)
-
Definately interested - girlfriend wants a wet weather SS(!).
£25? -
I hate the fact that due to a dodgy cleat popping out of my pedal at a very inopportune moment I rammed the back of a transit van last week and now have such a bruised shoulder that I can't ride...
-
I have some Cinelli LA84s for sale if anyone wants something a bit funkier. 42cm wide, and look like this - but in much better condition:
£20

Have you considered all red? And please put a quill stem on it! From what I've read of yours on here you have excellent taste (in Italian road bikes) so I would expect that anyway!

I got stopped near the British museum on new Oxford street by a nice enough officer in one of those red cars (Diplomatic protection units, mostly retired officers so calmer). In a discussion I asked him if he had ever gone slightly over the speed limit or crossed a road when there was a red man he confessed to both and I told he RLJing was the same thing. I doubt this type of discussion is possible with most officers as most of them seem to be a bit defensive.
He told me that officers in red cars don't give out £30 fines, im not sure if this is true but maybe useful knowledge to someone
I had one of them stop me. He was massively pissed off, and waiving a f*cking machine gun around as well! To be fair I had just jumped a red light, but stopped when I saw them passing across me. They waited round the corner and gave me "a good talking to" I wasn't being helpful so they decided to give me a ticket....then realised they didn't have any left!
Generally I find it best to put on my poshest accent and continually refer to them as constable*.

That is enormous! A little too big for me, but I am looking for some forks with a 24cm ish steerer, so feel free to sell these forks to me ;)
-
I'll take the track pump please.
Is it classified as too small to hump into Holborn? Would be handy but understandable if not!
-
something that looks a bit like a pashley princess but for <£100.
Good luck!
Bound to be something out there, buried deep in ebay or gumtree or someone's shed. Check out Recycle in Elephant and Castle tho, they may well have something, at least a frameset to work with. -
Yeah. People need to harden up a bit. 3/4 of our team were skiving off. I didn't die in the war for this kind of shit
I've got friends who died face down in the mud...

23Cs on about 120psi - what a laugh! A few comedy falls, nothing too bad though. Fixed is definately the way to go, I was brakeless 46X18 and it was brilliant, loads of grip and traction, although a few skiddy moments going UP dog kennell hill!
My bike with uber deep section snow rims, and the Great Court at the British Museum from the inside - very dark inside due to the foot of snow on the roof...

1,000 thundering pythoons is what that bloke in tintin used to say. i used to say that when i was really young and got frustrated trying to do something.
"10,000 thundering typhoons" actually, but I kind of like yours more!

Well I have nothing for sale, but there are a number of bike shops around that make, and also post, wheels.
E.g.
BETD - 130mm axle black Goldtec hub on a black CXP33, with equivalent front wheel = £232 posted. Not cheap, but very nice and damn strong wheels.

Budget?

Levers, chainset, mechs £120

If Herr Otto drops out I would like to register genuine interest in purchasing the shiny camgapnolololo cranks.

Bianchi Pista at Evans for £295, thats cheap !
Bianchi training Bike With Straight Bars (Courrier)
"The bike is called the pista and i bought it for £295 opposite Waterloo"
Hmmmmm I bet.
More to the point is that the Evans opposite the station is the MTB one, they sell road bikes and 'fixies' in their shop along the cut, about 100yds away...
Cheeky bugger.

Key phrase: "from the information supplied to us by our client"
Also sounds a bit like a standard response, made in the hope you'll give up and wonder off. Stick with it, and fuck em in the courts.

Chopin works for me. zzzz

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.
Holy shit that guy has some tasty goodies! Seen a few forks he's been selling on ebay, but max 22cm steerers, always. Will email him and see...
Again, nothing with a steerer that long. Unless I go with a 650 front wheel...
