I'm selling an Elswick Jetstream that I got as part of my payment from working in a bike shop one summer (the owner just told me to pick one of the second hand frames and it looked pretty interesting). To be honest I don't know an awful lot about the frame except that the stickers aren't original. I know there probably won't be much interest, but I decided to post here before ebay

The Frame is a 52cm and I bought new chainset, wheels, rear brake, and cockpit for the build, everything else I got second hand. The brake calipers don't match because the front brake didn't have enough reach so I changed it out, the pedals that are pictured are just so it had some on because I usually wear cleats with it (and look like an ass while I do), the rear hub is flip flop so it has a 15t fixed and an 18t freewheel, the front crank/chainring combo is 49 . Everything works fine, I've ridden it about 50 miles in total (just short trips to the shops and things like that) and it's pretty enjoyable but I don't know how it compares as it's my first fixed gear. I'm asking £180 including shipping to anywhere in UK (as I'm in somerset) so it will come to just under my build price. I'll post pictures below as something's going wrong with them.

Is this sold yet?

Where's the vivalo?

Re: that bike with the odd dropout.
festka do a lot of work with belt drive bikes, Like this one, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was what that odd thing is for.

thanks, i'll use this method if bmx_fred's spoke calculator doesn't work, thanks for the help.

thanks, this is the best i've seen yet, looks hopeful

I bought some tange hubs and hplusson rims (ERD 557) and I was hoping to lace them up with some dt Swiss bladed spokes In a two cross pattern, but I can't find any way of calculating the spoke sizes (due to the hub's irregular spoke hole pattern) the only way I could see is just trial and error with some oversized spokes, but knowing me I'd screw that up far too easily. Any advice?

I've had a shocker

opinions on cyclocross bikes?

Smooth

It's really not the prettiest is it (maybe if bike porn factored in the bike's backstory?)

This bike is being sold for the owner in my LBS and the guy in the shop tried to get some info on it, he called up this museum in Italy that apparently deals with a few sanvido bikes and they offered £1500 straight up without seeing the bike (as long as it was an original) have you guys seen anything from sanvido? Apparently sanvido was a famous Italian cyclist ages ago, who then went on to make bikes and I was told he had a team on them (a bit like merckx?).

The frame mainly, I love being able to see the brazed welds, I just like the look it gives it (plus the steels anodised from the brazing process). I was really just using this picture as a reference for the hubs because I'm building up a wheel set using them (tange star hub) and I couldn't find any other pictures.

Could do with a cranks swap

Hey I'm kinda new to the forum, so sorry if this has been explained before, but what's up with the chain slack on the fixed gear bikes? I always thought there had to be no visible slack but with about 1cm movement in the chain? Might be wrong there though.
