I was more referring to the fact it has 135mm rear spacing

Just frame, I'm afraid. I don't think they actually shipped with forks at the time but I don't honestly remember - can ask my flatmate. He had a Columbus Tusk in there which looked great.

Probably worth noting too that the frame is not actually supplied with the mech hanger attachment - you could just run it single speed with a singleator.
I don't think the bike looks that great but it'd probably be fun to ride and certainly a little more robust than a similar offering from another brand.

I can supply images of the Frame and Fork built up if anyone's interested.

Here's Spotter's old one as an example for now..

barring anti seatpost and hateful decals

big h (right?) looking like an absolute G in the balaclava!

Hello all!

A few bits to clear out here and I'll probably add some more as I trawl through the cupboard.

Any questions, please ask or PM. Dibs are fine but please PM too.
I'd rather not post. Items are in London.

Selling these first two bits on behalf of my non-forumenger flat mate. Here's what he has to say..

Leader 722ts (track specific) steel track frame, size 58cm in raw lacquer finish. Item is in good condition with a few minor cosmetic marks on it (shown in photos). Fits seatpost 27.2mm, has built in chain tensioners on dropouts and rear brake compatible if wanted.  I’m 6ft4 and have ridden this with a 120mm stem and layback seatpost, but ideally it would suit someone around the 6ft mark, give or take a couple of inches.
sold!

Miche Primato track chainset 172.5mm arm length, 49t chainring at 144bcd, also includes 68mm x 111mm generic square taper BB (only ridden once).  Minor cosmetic damage on each arm (shown in photos), but all pedal threads, chainring bolts, crank bolts and BB bearings are in great condition. Slight wear to teeth on chainring as shown in photos.
sold!

S&M Race Bar 5" handlebar, great for FGFS, your indestructible street bike or indeed a 26" BMX. Fitted once, never used. Great S&M crest decal on rear. Cut down to white marks in photo, come with free rubbish orange grips - not pictured.
£25

Proper BMX Acala Stem very beefy front load stem with usual 22.2 clamp, 1 1/8 steerer etc. Great black finish, vice like grip. Bought for BMX project and never used.
£20

@dbr I'm happy to come and aggressively shout lap splits at you? - bar Hippy's advice, losing the mudguards and perhaps swapping for clip pedals, I can't think of much else that might help.

yeah, it ain't that

Fair enough an old V1 going for £1000 is silly money but my brand new V2 cost slightly more that £500 even after shipping and customs. Think Indra got his for even less. With that in mind, I'm not sure that's a high price tag at all.

Admittedly riding 200 miles on it in one go was a bit daft as it's relentlessly stiff (HTFU) but it's probably still the bike I'd pick above all others I've owned. Looks daft and is practical.. Good combo!

death to roadies

Marina (?) on her Sannino briefly on Walworth road. Predominantly spotted because of the orange bag, of course.

Think that one's been there for about 18 months maybe two years as well. Basically may as well not be for sale.

Probably been nicked now ^

Does Dekker not get an extra few metres for looking a bit like Harry Styles?

Well done @dbr - where did you choose to do it? I just joined the Bike Show club and am plotting an attempt for tomorrow afternoon.. just need to find a road nearby that isn't a hill.

It is very nice indeed and as you've bought that frame - you are clearly a man of good taste.

I used to have a picture of that frame (from when Hilary Stone sold it first, on here years ago) saved to my computer as inspiration for what I wanted Chas Roberts to build me. At the time he was offering similar for £900. Now it's more like £1500 and I no longer earn enough to make that a viable purchase. You've got yourself a bargain lad!

Haps Beedz!

You're sort of outside your house.. but still inside it. Interesting.
