That langster that 'sold' for £14,500 has got a very pissy owner. I messaged him in a moment of irritation explaining why it hadnt sold/why it was overpriced and he replied:
'Not quite sure what to make of your questions, or the point of it to be honest.....
If you read the item description you will note that it would probably cost in the region of around £850 to build this bike. I would suggest one starts with the retail price of the standard steel Langster - this frame is no longer even available let alone in the condition it is in. You can then add to that the cost of the components, all of which were bought separately. When I said new, I really mean it. New and unused. I built the bike for fun because I felt like it. The wheels and nitto risers and stem alone total around £300. I don't cut corners and don't use second hand parts. The only thing that remains standard is the frame and forks. £800+ is not that much, Jesus, I have two road bikes the cumulative value of which is eye-watering. So in the scheme of things £800 is nothing. If you really want to see an over priced single speed bike I would look at Brick Lane Bikes - that's a rip off !!
I've looked at the examples you have sent me ??? No comparison. Totally different bikes, frames, components and running gear. One is pure track and has no brakes at all.....
Unfortunately some twat disrupted my auction with a fake bid of £14,700 which ruined it for others. **What he didn't realise is that I am a Lawyer and have legal proceedings waiting in the side lines dependding on what Ebay do about him. lol Silly boy.
**
Anyway, I may re-list the bike once I've dealt with idiot aforementioned. I won't accept much less than £550 for it unless you have a sensible offer to make....... I'll sooner put it in the loft than give it away, it's not as though I am making a profit from it.......... Sometimes it's not worth my time to auction certain things on Ebay given the rediculous offers. We all want something for nothing........ -

Ye, I'm more after something I can strap a jacket or small bag to and the rest of the the time not really notice, the vavert one I put the picture of is only 330g so ideal. I thought about p clips but would like the simplicty of it going onto the axle. I'm really suprised nobody seems to make them, its such a simple design.
Verbs & nouns on here had this one which looks great, but I asked him and he said it was an old french porteur rack

I've searched around but not been able to resolve this. I'm in search of a front rack that looks like this
http://di1-1.shoppingshadow.com/images/pi/4f/e8/e3/131698200-260x260-0-0_vavert+vavert+advancer+front+rack+black.jpgI've currently got a wald basket but even unloaded you can really feel it in the steering. So a lightweight rack that unloaded would weigh very little seems ideal for carrying a few bits and bobs.
The problem being its going on my track bike and I have mudguard or rack eyelets, though it is drilled for a brake.So does anyone know of a manufacturer (asides from nitto - which a v expensive) who makes cheap, simple and light weight front rack that can attach to a sold track axel?
