rhyme?

And it was staring me in the face all this time!

Oops! Hope I'm not stealing anyone's thunder! I need a new title word that rhymes with slime? ;-)

Is there a threaded steerer somewhere under that powdercoat job?

The steerer was actually taped up with some sort of foil tape. All threads free from powder and work fine as the headset is fitted

Dammit's not gonna happy...

Any particular reason why?

First off I've no idea what the relevance of the time machine part is in the title of this thread other than it rhymes with slime green......

Anyways... I got given this frame a few weeks ago by a friend, it came in a nasty silver to dark blue fade, sadly I never took a pic of it. The first thing I done was hand it to a local powdercoat place for them to work their magic on it! The results were quite pleasing

My friend was unable to tell me much about the frame other than it was refurbed by Bob Jackson at some point (It had a sticker stating so on the seattube) Can anyone help identify it?

The basic plan at the moment is to built it up with Campag Centaur that I have all ready

Quill adapter sold

Track bars sold.

Priority will go to selling things complete. However if there is enough interest I will split

dibs frame if split becomes possibility + wheels pending price

Can you confirm which frame and wheels please?

Hi - provisional dibs on the handlebars
i'm afraid as i'm still quite new to the forum I can't PM you directly, but these would be great, so if you drop me a message with how to pay I'll get the £15 over to you

OK I've PM'd you

beautiful Vitus 979.

Yea she's a beaut! I have too many bikes at the moment though so she's gotta go

Nice bits - GLWS.

Have a bump!

Thanks very much

are there mudguard mounts on the FR320?

No there are no mudguard mounts. It's a full on race bike with tight clearances and race geometry

Any update on this?

I'm pretty sure that this is the final setup. Thought please?

£650 sounds fair?

Specs are Hope headset, hubs and V twin; Velocity A23 wheelset; 4130 frame with Kinesis CXD full carbon fork; Thomson finishing kit; Rival GXP cranks with BB; Marathon supreme tyres.

Thanks but thats kinda above my budget just now...

If you diverge form the vintage steel line of thought why not try a pompino. frame set costs £150

or I can part with my (now?) vintage original wishbone styled Pomp XL???

Thanks guys but I don't really dig the Pompino, its not my favourite bike out there. Plus an XL is way to big, I'd probably be a medium

When I thought the frame was salvageable I bought a set of 1" carbon CX forks so I've limited myself to a frame with 1" headstock unless I use a headset reducer.

Just out of curiosity... What's the price as is then?

I do

That's a really nice bike. Thanks for the offer but I'm kinda of hoping to stick with canti brakes and the "vintage" theme

Cheers for all the advice fellas. I'm no expert on frames hence the questions...... So who's got a SSCX frame for sale? Or can anyone recommend a good starting point?

Cheers

Ok so here's my dilemma, I bought this cheap Gazelle Cross Trophy frame on an impulse without fully reading the add. Turns out it had a front end shunt at some point, as you can see from the picture the tyre is almost touching the downtube and there is a small crease in it. My idea for this project was a cheap SSCX racer, built mainly from the parts bin. My question is, if I were to buy different forks with greater clearance would this work ok? Or do you think the geometry be too far gone to be a rideable?

Ok so I've been building a SSCX bike based on a Gazelle Cross Trophy, as you can see from the pictures the clearance are quite tight.... I'm currently running 32c tyres and I'd like to know what tyres any one else with this frame or similar run?

Also I've got froglegs on this and the rear is fine but the front is very tight! There is a set of Koolstop Thinline pads on route, are there any other tricks to get a good setup on an old frame with modern canti's?

I'll take the wheelset if Ali G doesn't want them

Dibs the stripped SLR saddle if you'll post?

Looking for a Campag 10 speed rear mech. Something middle range, centuar, chorus & Athena etc.... Decent condition preferred please.

Cheers

I'm afraid not, sorry

No worries, thanks

Would you be willing to send this by courier?

The geo comes up a little big. Thats a 56 and I kinda wish I went for the 54. I had to fit a 90mm stem compared to my normal 120mm

Little update to the Chinese FR320.... Now she's running 11 speed Ultegra Di2 and some Chinese carbon clinchers. I kinda like this look and will probably keep it this way for a while!
