I had hoped to sell this bike whole but of course building one's own bike is half the fun so inevitably I've been forced to split it! Here's a picture of it built up (and a few more pictures here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread71009.html#post2444180)
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/Brother%20track%20bike/DSC_0863.jpg
- Brother 61cm lugged steel track frame and fork. Excellent condition. No dents, just a few light scratches. The top tube is very neatly taped to avoid scratching when locking it to objects. £235 (inc. Tange Levin headset)

http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1022.jpg
- Nitto Noodle bars (40cm) and BLB stem (80mm) with Cinelli Campion Del Mondo bar tape. Bars are in mint condition. The stem just has a few scratches where it's been inserted into the frame. I found this relatively narrow/short combo great for riding through traffic in the city. £40
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1010.jpg
- Sugino 75 170mm cranks. They have gone shiny where the leather of the doublizers on my pedal straps have polished them and the '75' has rubbed off. Otherwise they're in great condition and the tapers are perfect. Complete with chain ring bolts. £135
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1020.jpg
- Shimano Dura Ace BB-7610 NJS-stamped track bottom bracket. Perfect threads and tapers and buttery-smooth. £30
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1004.jpg
- Cinelli Unicanitor leather saddle. The leather has taken on a lovely patina and looks great. There is one tiny rip on the back and there is a little scuff on the side where it's been lent against walls. This is one comfy saddle! £20
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1002.jpg
- SR Laprade fluted seatpost (27.2mm). Nice post which will polish up even shinier. 19cm from the limit to the rails. £10
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1005.jpg
- Campagnolo Super Record 57t 3/32 chain ring. Shiny and teeth are hardly worn. £20
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1000.jpg
- Gipiemme Sprint pedals with MKS double strap toe clips (deep, size L) and Exustar black suede double straps with Cadence leather doublizers. Tough and very comfy pedal set-up. One pedal is missing its little flip tab which never made any difference to me. Pedals are scratched but solid. £35
http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x397/clack_clack/DSC_1007.jpg
- Dia Compe BRS-101 brake and Dia Compe Gran Compe Shot twin-blade track lever with cable and Kool Stop brake pads. £30

I will add the wheels, tyres, cog and lockring with prices in the coming days.
Dibs followed by PMs please. All parts are in Brockley so can meet for cash on collection in Brockley/New Cross area.
Thanks a lot.

Yes I do live near Honor Oak Park - well spotted!
The forks are indeed oval. There is a mount for a rear brake if you wanted to run it SS with a freewheel. And it is a track frame, but with slightly non-standard geometry which is more suited to riding in the city. It's a really great ride. There is some more info about it here - http://www.brothercycles.com/store

I am going to India at the end of the summer and so must reluctantly sell my dear track bike to fund my trip.
- Brother 61cm lugged steel track frame and fork
- Campagnolo Record Pista high flange track hubs laced to Mavic MA3 rims, 36h rear and 32h front, with Campagnolo track nuts
- Michelin Dynamic 23c tyres
- Shiman Dura Ace NJS bottom bracket
- Sugino 75 170mm track cranks
- Campagnolo Super Record 57t chain ring
- Phil Wood 21t cog
- Phil Wood lockring
- BLB 80mm stem
- Nitto Noodle handlebars 40cm
- Cinelli Campion Del Mondo bar tape
- Gipiemme Sprint pedals with MKS double strap toe clips (deep, size L) and Exustar black suede double straps with Cadence leather doublizers
- SR Laprade seatpost
- Cinelli Unicanitor vintage leather saddle
The frame's geometry is fantastic and the bike is a sheer joy to ride. It's light, stiff, nippy and comfortable. If I could afford to, I'd keep it for the rest of my life!
It's in fantastic condition, has been well maintained and stored indoors. The top tube is very neatly taped to avoid scratching when locking it to objects. The frame does not have any dents, the teeth on the chain ring and cog are virtually unworn, the wheels are straight, all bearings run smooth, etc. The only remarkable signs of wear are the few superficial scratches on the right seatstay and the scuffed pedals. The tyres and 1/8 KMC chain are new.
I can also include a front brake – a Dia Compe BRS-101 brake and Dia Compe Gran Compe Shot twin-blade track lever, both black, with cable and Kool Stop brake pads - for an extra £30
I'm pretty disinclined to split this bike so for the time being please do not dibs particular parts.
The bike is in Brockley
£695

This is my old bike which I am now selling as I don't use it anymore.
It features:
Lugged steel frame and forks - unsure of frame size or manufacturer - in black with gold detailing on the lugs
Sugino Super-Maxy cranks with Sugino chainring
Selle Royale Sprint brown suede saddle
Nice Japanese Sylvian-style pedals
SR japanese seatpost
SR japanese stem
Dutch chromo bars
Unknown wheels with cool skinwall tyres
Shimano brakes and levers
Shimano gear shifter
Primo BMX grips and Cinelli Italian flag bar tape
Shimano rear mech (new)Front light is included but mudguards are not. I can included a rear rack and basket for free if you'd like.
It has been left outside for several months and is looking a bit weathered so could do with a clean-up. It has rusted in places, which for the most part could come off with a scrub, has some peeling paint (revealing mirror chrome underneath!) on the chainstays and is generally dirty. As it is it is rideable and I rode it around London in this state without any trouble but I think it certainly needs a brand new chain and probably a new rear cassette as they are heavily rusted and are keeping it from being a smooth ride. Please also note that I haven't managed to move the angle of the saddle as the allen key hole is rounded and I can't move the seat up or down, but a bike shop or someone who is willing to put the effort in could probably get these moving.
This is a cool city bike that just needs a service and some love to return to its glory days. Would make a great single speed conversion.
You're welcome to come and view it in Camberwell. Here is a picture -

I'm afraid the wheel set is no longer for sale
