FRAME NOW SOLD

Used black track frame 48cm C-T (19") seat tube, 54cm C-C top tube
(ex velodrome but now road ready, fitted with front and rear brakes)

Includes:
Campagnolo bottom bracket, Campagnolo aero seatpost (not pictured), Cinelli stem and handlebars
front and rear Campagnolo brake calipers and Tektro brake levers, new cabling and new Weinmann blocks

Columbus SL tubing

Decals were damaged in transit therefore have been removed on one side and are slightly cracked on the other side (pictured)
Easy to remove and replace if necessary.

Minor dents and scratches.

I have suspicions that the frame was once a road frame converted to a track frame, re-sprayed and rebadged by Hartfield, Blackburn.

FRAME NOW SOLD

Tubular wheels fitted with tyres (rear Continental Sprinter 250, front Vittoria Formula 1).

Rear is a Ambrosio Durex rim with a Miche Primato hub (complete with 18T sprocket), front hub is apparently an unbranded road hub (though the quick release is campagnolo, so maybe campagnolo?) with a Mavic GP4 rim. Maybe good as a spare track wheelset?

£30 ono collected from Nottingham or London.

now sold.

San Marco Concor reissue. Suede. Only used for a few months, no scuffs, looks great. SOLD

Still have the Regal with the missing rivets? How would I go about getting these replaced, would a cobbler be able to do it?

still looking...

oh, the "buy online" button was so small I managed to miss it. It seems they are only capable of delivering from your local decathlon, who I phoned this morning and can't get them in for a month. Kind of defeats the purpose. No worry, I shall spend a little extra and purchase from a local shop.

Re the Yashicamat. I had one for a few years and I reckon it is pretty much the ultimate TLR. The lens is stellar and the light meter quick to read and accurate enough for most situations. I only shoot 35mm these days, or I'd snap it up.

For the price, yes, one of the best TLR available. Now on ebay, if you're interested a search should bring it up.

Decathlon do mail order?

Nottingham Decathlon say they won't be able to get any in for a month. Anyone have any spare they can put in the post for me? Ideally two pairs. I'm too tight/poor to spend the £5 extra everyone else wants.

thanks!

yup, battery voltage is 1.5 instead of the designed 1.35 so at worst you may have to adjust for exposure. I've never used it (always just used my eye or a separate light meter) so can't vouch for it's accuracy.

Anyone interested in an Yashica Mat 124 G? I've only ever put a few rolls through it and they came out great, medium format is not for me though.

Will include 3 rolls of Delta 3200, battery and case (case is broken in two points, repaired with electrical tape though, includes front of case not photographed).

Will sell for £120 posted, a good price I think. They sell for £175 here minus the case, films and battery.

Still looking.

Possible swap for a concor if you're interested, if not I shall pay money. Will need to be posted. Thanks!

maybe interested for a friend. shall let you know asap.

edit: will be too big...

I'd prefer a lever I can put on the tops for quick removal and it'll be for 25.4 mm bars. The caliper will need to be short reach.

I have a recessed brake (Tektro RX-20) and lever (Salsa Cross) with cable I could swap if you want, can get photos in the morning.

Will need to be posted.

Thanks!

Have a Regal on my road bike and I get on with it better than the Concor, don't think I'm a fan of soft saddles.

It's suede, black, same as this one:

Done around 15 rides on it. Suede is starting to unstick a little at the back but I can glue it back on if you want, it's no big problem.

I'm not in London so chances are we'll have to post. I can probably get some photos later if required.

Looks like Nottingham won't be able to make it due to transport issues. Sorry!

my rat bike

Has anyone had a frame sandblasted, made up a stencil of the decal and put it in position, ran a blow torch over it (causing some discoloration of the metal) then clear coated. Would it work?

I know you can get big tyres into a Steamroller but not sure about 45c knobblies for that monstercross melarky?

45c fit, just. Wouldn't go any bigger though.

I'm confused, is the 52cm version the one with the 54.71cm effective top tube? I hate when companies use pointless seat tube measurements to size bikes.

I want to build one up into to a monstercross bike, but I think a 52cm is one is a size too big, shame.

If you set it up with an flared off-road drop like the on-one midge it'll probably fit OK. They're designed for low saddles (big frames) and a short high rise stem so you can ride in the drops almost all the time.

Ended up ordering the SIDI version of the same thing in the end, seems to fulfill the same purpose but cheaper.

Thanks anyway

The cranks are 140mm I think, maybe 145, not sure, great for toe overlap and clearance but not so great for leverage. The other frame was a Graham Weigh 853 frame that I damaged the original forks in during a crash, now being built up (slowly) for it's intended purpose.

my last frame was way too nice to use as a polo bike, only a tempory measure anyway. Here's the new one:

34X16 SS, 34X21 Fixed. Super short cranks, hills are hell.

Very much a long term project but I figure I might as well as make it nice and take my time over it.

I'm thinking respray (possibly clear-coat), wound up forks, Sugino 75 cranks and black open pro wheels. I need a job.
