3rensho keirin track frame and forks, 3rensho is a japanese framebuilder whom I should think needs little introduction

this frame rides really nicely with nice tight geometry its a really responsive ride, its been used before my time and refreshingly not hung up on a wall looking pretty, so it shows signs of use, a few marks in the paint, mainly around the downtube where the previous owner locked through the frame (which has worn the decals), a couple of very small dinks but no serious dings or anything overly obvious. headset (hatta swan from memory) is a little rough and could do with a regrease.

it measures 53 seatube c-t and 54 toptube c-c, with 120mm and 100mm dropouts and 27.2mm seatpost

collection / viewing in Peckham

thanks

generic touring bike question (I posted in the generic touring bike thread but realised that was more specific to trips and routes, so this is a better place for it!), just wondering about bike fit sizing for touring bikes vs road or track bikes, should they be longer (more stable) or shorter (more upright position) than what I would normally ride?

I normally ride around 54/55cm so assume similar top tube is what I would be aiming for?

sorry for newbie touring question!

yo,

a friend of mine was in an accident which bent his chainring, and a few other bits, anyway, whilst fixing his bike back up I had to drill out one of the chainring bolts, so now need a replacement!

not sure if it makes a difference but its a shimano double crank, have the other 4 so just need one, before buying a pack does anyone have a spare?

cheers!

S&B, thanks but likely to have too much orange for me! would mean excessive clashing most likely, a photo might help to convince me otherwise (or confirm suspicions). MRI thanks but not for me this time.......

anything else lurking about?

dibs! what is this, its hottt

hey all,

picked up a beater track frame and now in need of some forks, its 54cm (need to measure headtube) so something that will fit that with a normal sized headset, I assume this will be around 180mm steerer? maybe 185mm? around this or a bit longer should be fine as long as I can trim it to suit (i.e. enough of the steerer is threaded)

ideally after some 80s-ish track forks, older or newer probably fine, would be good if drilled or can be drilled, not after straight blades, or slack geo........track forks might be hard to find so am open to offers on decent road forks

cosmetically they can be rough (paint chips etc), but no bent / damaged forks please

thanks
