nope, did not text you, not me. ......call barry barron. ask him if he built it, he is a nice guy and very nice frames.

the seat stays look like my barron.

I know this is an old thread, but maybe this could be useful to someone.....
Little bit of DIY today. Needed a shorter stem. Had an old steel one knocking around. Got busy with the hack saw, drill and file. Would like to find a better condition steel stem at some point..... but it will do for now.

very very nice. strong work. i would love to spend an hour in your shoes.

i should have added, vintage lugged. any condition. thanks chris for the offer.

just as the title says: i'm after a steel quill stem, 1", 25.2 clamp, 90-100cm long........

vintage 40's- 60's.

anyone anything?

would consider alloy as a last resort.....

thanks.

Wheelset and chainset look great to me...

thanks buddy..... it will be staying like this till i find what i'm looking for.....but i am not sure what im looking for till it shows itself..... maybe something along the lines of airlight hubs, stronglight 49D chainset and a steel stem.....

I wish I had a skylight.

i put it in myself. me and a friend did it in 4 days.

thanks. i was toying with drops, but really like using north road bars.
i have just picked up a clamp on front.... but looking for those other bits.

I had the morning off so put this together this franken mish mash with bits from my parts bin. things top be changed, longer stem, cloth bar tape, new chain and clamp on front brake...... at some point, new wheelset and chainset.

radical!

ee by gum, that's a belt that! (best northern accent i can do).

ooohhhhh la la! very nice.

no rust, but i put oil down all the tubes anyway, give it a little more life........mind put at rest. Riding it like no tomorrow it is then.

thats exactly what i said.......we shall see....

my friend who built, then lost the bike is a canal boat person..........i'm sure if it was fished by a fellow boater she would have gotten it back no problem.

it seems like the bike was sold on brick lane.....foolish move to buy a bike from brick lane...... so the person who purchased the bike wants to be reimbursed....

This arrived today, it's been passed around the forum like a..... old....bike.....
Unknown track frame 531, 60's-70's, nice lugs, campagnolo ends. Tight for its age. WillPalmer, Rodolfo, benjybars and Hippy are just some of the past owners. I want to build it from vintage-ish components(open to offers for bits and bobs), but think i Will chuck it together with part bin parts for now and test her out.

Only issue, the forks look like they have been cut and shortened(frame number and forks have same number so am quite sure they are original)....My real concern is safety. I love the double crown fork, but love my teeth more. It has a second bar inside joining the two sections. Why would this have been done? Is it safe?.......Am i going to die(i know we all will one day)?

great price, really nice frame. wish i had space or needed another bike...... i would snap this up!

very nice build.

sussex1066 is bad bad news. total tosser!

not sure of all the details as yet. my friend found someone riding it, told the girl who lost it. i think the police were/are involved.

+1 to tidy up and test ride..... good luck. Tandems are so much fun. Have been working on mine for quite a while now....Almost done.......

duckkkk what frame did you pick up? pictures? did you find an on-line guide for the eccentric BB?

UPDATE: The bike has been found. It was spotted in Angel and reclaimed..... I think it will need to be striped, oil poured down the tubes and re-built?
