39 frame - great for commuter/ fixed / ss- needs smaller stacked bottom part of headset ideally i'll sort that later-

sorry distance selling will cost time - and entails extra work and risk

the frame is for c. 6' tall ishsorry all these items are for pickupalso, sorry i don't know how to handle dibs, as a general rule if something's either going to take time to clear or cost time to clear, the former is preferable.

can anyone guess the brand of these rims ? the S/8 looks familiar but can't place it
probably c. 70s / 80s i think - certainly japanese - off a miyata plus JIS symbol

head badge on the frontof the bike frame - the yellow one.

possibly -height itself need not be a problem - reach really dictates the fit of a bike
i'd suppose a longer stem (1" ahead style) and possibly longer / more laid back seatpost (27.2) might be needed -

but please see also top tube details in post 19 above - it's deceptively small as a measurement due to steep seat tube .

so whilst top tube length can differ on bikes with the essentially the same reach (and other stem / posts / bars can increase reach) - the real test of size of a bike would be the measurment horizontally from BB to crown of forks as this is fixed

layback added on seatpost/saddle takes you further behind the BB axis - which is what you'd need for longer thighs

also the distance of hands in front of the steerer due to longer stem/bars may affect steering
. but the current bars are of the style as to have little reach on drop beyond the tops anyway- a very 50s style.

a more modern bar with more reach within the bar itself may be used, giving more reach on drops but not having to increase reach on the tops. (so to increase reach on drops and tops - fit other stem, and to increase reach on drops only, fit other bars)
also remember the dropouts on the front are adjustable offset so you can dial in and out more or less trail to tweak the handling and so add more reach in front of the steerer than may be the case had we gone for traditional fork ends.

strangely if you look at a lot of off the peg bikes, the reach seems to remain much more constant than height (in some cases completely so) as the sizes go up. and even more so the wheelbase seems to be constant through differing sizes of a model of bike -

as this was built to be a micro wheelbase (in the 50s/60s they were obsessed by shortening the rear end of the bike- strangely enough without ever bothering to revert to smaller wheels which seems the obvious and easy option) if we'd built it for someone bigger , it would have been built pretty much the same with a higher top tube (and longer seat tube, steerer and possibly seatstays that would necessitate)

my mate of about your size had a short ride of it at l'erioca no probs - come and have a go if you like.

thanks for the suggestion, i'll leave the decision on that to the buyer

having just looked again, the front has 24 spokes - not the 18 given on the website,
so i now suspect this is a rear rim- which would explain the non standard hub and spokes.

again, i think this is the way it is because it's been built up by the BCF as a stronger front wheel for track tandem use.

here's the front
the hope hub - which i think is Ti, is almost certainly not standard to the original wheelbuild,
spokes are sapim non-bladed unlike the rear,
tied and soldered
front tub is not glued on here - also it seems you'll need to fit a valve extender on that.

i suspect, but can't confirm, that the front has been built to be stronger (with a 2 cross pattern) for track tandem use.
the original would have had a radial spoke build according to the corima website link above

no longer unridden -i had a super short spin on a flat road on this during l'eroica, with stem now above the spacers

it has toe overlap as i suspected (depending on front wheel placement and size of feet)
and the rear wing nuts catch heels ..........which never occurred to me, but the wing nuts were only for it's parade look

and on the track neither of these things should matter - you'd have to fit proper nuts (supplied)anyway
and you shouldn't be steering so much as the toe-overlap would come into effect.

here's the rear, pics of the matching front later

the table here shows spec - if they've not changed the model since - i don't think they have except the stickers
(i'll check the spec against wheels when i can ) :

hub reference

for rear looks identical, front has been changed for a hope ti body hub

not been able to find an rrp. reference again for these but had a figure for somewhere c. 800 to 1000 -maybe someone knows?

VGC carbon rimmed track wheels
both CX evo 320 tpi (rear tub is minty used glued on, front tub is the same but new and not yet glued to the wheel),
fixed threads on rear
these have seen indoor track use only - they are a type the BCF used/uses on track tandems (as well as them being suitable for single rider bikes) so they must be strong
349 pickup from woodley or i can deliver anywhere in the county for 10gbp

good for flat TT on the roads too and probably grasstrack - or just swanky fixie stuff

rear has a small speedo magnet glued on - i wouldn't like to guess on a solvent that'll take the glue off and leave lacquer untouched - so it's pretty much got to stay on there.
