It's a beaut! I should know, I used to own it. A great ride for someone.

yeah i belive u good luck for you re sale so how much u want?

Open to (sensible) offers. Thanks for the interest.

that s must be heavy ! lol out of interest u forget the price!

Actually it isn't too heavy, but it's certainly strong. :-) I found it great for racing and seemed to fly up hills on it despite using a 53/16 gearing.

Halo Aerorage purple 32h clincher rim built on Surly fixed/free 130mm rear hub with silver Sapim spokes. Allows you to use any road frame with "normal" 130mm rear spacing as a fixed or single speed. Obviously works best with older style drop outs with a bit of horizontal adjustment.

I had this built in March this year and used it on a bike that I was using as a single speed time trial machine for a bit of early season races. Since then it has been used for the ocassional training ride. Overall it's used, but in good condition. The fixed threads have never seen a sprocket so are in mint condition. I can supply it with a Shimano MX30 16T freewheel (used) or a 18T one (new) or both if you're interested.

I'm converting the bike back to a geared winter hack, so this wheel is surplus.

Not sure what it's worth so open to offers. Based in Maidstone, but depending on location I may be able to deliver in person. PM if interested. Cheers, Damian.

Thanks both but I'm afraid it's now sold to a very happy new owner. Went for £500 in the end. Sorry!

Thanks. In fairness my lfgss ad had quickly slipped to page 5 and I assumed it wouldn't resurface again. I just assumed it was a bit specialist so thought I might find a wider audience on eBay. I was honestly trying to play within the rules and I'm happy to have this thread removed as necessary. I just want it to go to a good home ie to someone who will enjoy it. Apologies if I got it wrong.

Excuse me but I'd had it on both these forums for some time without any interest so thought I'd resort to the dreaded eBay. I'd obviously prefer not to and didn't realise it was bad form but I need to sell it unfortunately. I would have said I'd gone to ebay but mentioning eBay listings is against this forum's rules. Seems I can't win?! Not trying to offend anyone.

This is a beauty, my friend...

Thanks! :-)

This listing has taken best part of a day to be approved by the mods so went straight to page number 3, so please excuse the shameless bump. Thanks.

Simpsons references aside, anyone fancy buying the frameset? Thanks.

Now sold.

Sorry, I duplicated this thread in error. Please see my other listing of the same title for more info.

Does your head go right to the back of that helmet?

Only when I go really fast! ;-)

Ha ha! There's a pic of the man himself on the top tube under some helicopter tape. Will that do? ;-)

Here you go. A pic of the top tube...

...neighbour!

Ha ha! There's a pic of the man himself on the top tube under some helicopter tape. Will that do? ;-)

Hi. Seat tube is 49cm centre of bb to centre of top tube. Not sure on the tubing but it does have a nice smooth ride but feels quick. I had it set up for time trialling and won club events on it so it can't be too shabby. The rear brake cable is internally routed via the top tube and the drop outs have the words Gipiemme Patent written on them. Don't know if that means anything to anyone? The drive side chainstay is polished. No idea if it's stainless or not but it looks nice :-)

The headtube is a fraction under 9cm mark.

Cheers.

Hi. Thanks for the interest. It's 51cm ctc measured horizontally.

I might have just sorted the pics:

I love this frameset but it's surplus to requirements. I'll list it properly on here shortly, but for now please follow this link to it listed on another site:

http://www.timetriallingforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=54122

It's well used (even though it was new only 18 months ago) but still builds to a beautiful bike. Horizontal dropouts, but be aware they're 130mm. Lots of pics on the ttf site listing including a close up of the dropouts but I have more if you're interested. 1" aheadset arrangement with a shim to allow use with "modern" 1 1/8" stems. The seat post pictured isn't included as it's from my son's bike. It's 27.2mm btw.

More info on the link above but I'm looking for £140 delivered for it. Depending where you are I may be able to hand deliver for that price. PM me if you want more info.

Thanks.

Damian.

Last reduction before eBay. £575 plus postage at cost. Alternatively I might be able to deliver by hand as my job takes me all over the country. PM me if you're interested in arranging something. The bike really is immaculate and would make a bargain for someone. I'm gutted to be selling it having never actually had the chance to ride it myself but I just can't see me getting the chance to use it.

The effective horizontal top tube length is 52cm and the head tube is 130mm. There is lots of steerer tube on the fork. I'm 5'9" and usually ride a 54cm top tube road bike, but was told to go for a slightly shorter top tube for a track bike. The stem is 110mm and from sitting on it, it fits me a treat. Just thought that the "50cm" framesize might be putting people off, but it comes up bigger than you might think.

Thanks for looking.

Yes it does. Never noticed that before. I guess it has a purpose?

Would accept £650 for it if any of you good folks fancy a bargain. Will definitely be keeping it otherwise 8-)

Frame size is mentioned (although easily lost in all my other text) 8-)

It's a size "50", which has a 52cm effective horizontal top tube. Full geometry can be found here:

Thanks for the interest.

Would consider offers. Don't be shy 8-)

It is with regret that I'm selling my track bike. Why with regret? Because I'm selling it having never actually had the chance to use it.

I bought it in ~Feb time this year from a lady who had used it twice before getting a back problem that put an end to her track cycling. She'd used it twice on the Manchester velodrome and in fairness it looks unused. It could be sold as new.

I promptly set about upgrading it with a Thomson post and stem and some really nice Bontrager Racelite VR bars and R1 saddle. I also upgraded the chainset to a Truvativ Omnium type with GXP external BB. The BB was a spare I had and is hardly used, but I bought the cranks second hand and they are showing some signs of scuffing on the crank arms. It's only light scuffing, but it's the only aspect of the bike that isn't as new (hence me mentioning it). It doesn't detract from the good looks of the bike. The chainring is the Miche Advanced 50T ring that came with the bike. The sprocket is a 16T one and the chain is 1/8".

The frame is hugely oversized aluminium and I suspect brutally stiff for track use. Not having ridden it, I can only imagine though. The frame has a rear brake drilling should you ever wish to fit one. The carbon fork does not have a hole drilling for a brake.

The wheels are Miche Pistard WR. The whole thing is stunning. I just wish I'd had the chance to give it a go but I've had a reality check and realised that I've not had the chance to use it this year and can't see that changing soon, so it's pointless me hanging on to it.

The bike new would have been £1200 and I've substantially upgraded it from the original spec. Geometry is as per the size "50" on the geometry chart on the link below:

http://www.ridley-bikes.com/pd/gb/en-gb/6/...ness-track/oval

Let me know if you have any questions or want more info. Looking for £750 for it. Sold without pedals. I'd ideally like to keep the bars so would be prepared to negotiate on those. I have some Oval ones I could offer instead (but with no tape on them). Thanks, Damian.

As per title.

EAI Superstar 15T sprocket 1/8". Euro - Asia Imports, made in the USA. I'm told the finest sprockets available and run super quiet/smooth. Looks like new. With lock ring. I think these are £45 new. £22 posted.

Andel 16T sprocket 1/8". Brand new never used. £10 posted.

Truvativ 1/8" 48T chainring. 144 bcd. Made from AL-7075-T6 aluminium. Anodised grey. The anodising is slightly worn on the teeth but only slightly. This hasn't seen a great deal of use. It came off a Trivativ Omnium chainset. Nice! What's it worth? £20 posted?

PM for pics if required. Cheers,

Damian.
