Summertime is calling and the bike is still there! Get it while it's available!

Thinking about trading my 75 wih BB and 49t ring for it... not sure though as I cannot use 3/32 chainrings

Pricedrop!

Again apologies for getting back to you so late. I just got the info's:
Top tube length c-c: 54cm
Seat tube length c-t: 54cm / c-c: 51cm

It is still available, viewings can be arranged at the weekends!

That's sad to hear. Two years ago I came across his shop (Sir Pete Bikes) at the end of my spring tour in Groningen and had a really nice impression of him. The guys inside were really decent and didn't make the impression of being no serious dealers. I would've never imagined that something like this could happen when dealing with them.

I hope this resolves otherwise I would be really disappointed..

Sorry for my late reply @Naru @dariusss
Right now nobody is at home so I could'nt get any measurements so far. I hope I can get you some data on monday.

@TomGuha It is still available but weekend won't work due to above-mentioned reasons. But you're welcome to stop by next week.

I really like to sell the bike but from a neutral perspective I would say this bike will be to big for you. You can ride it of course but it will feel stretched. If you prefer it that way it alright. Back in the days where I started riding road bikes I've ridden a size 60 frame. It was a blast and I had a lot of fun on it - until someone introduced me to framesizes and put me on a fitting bike.

I will get the measurements and post them asap.

I wouldn't mind shipping it, if you could arrange a courier or name me a cheap postage service where the bike can be sent in a box. I will ask my roommate to do some more exact measurements of the tubing.

What size are you? I am around 5'8" - 5'9" and could ride it confortably..

Interesting. I always thought that Gebhardt chainring are heavy but strong. But then again I comparably started only recently with track riding and have never ridden a Zen Chainring on a Sugino 75DD crank. From what I read this should be a total revelation in comparison..

If I would have the time to take it apart it would be an option. But I am not around at this time so I have to get rid of it in one piece.

Now for 260!

Interestingly I feel that there are two factions concerning BB standard. Square Taper for European track riders, Outboard bearnings for US track (and Omniums on fixed gear street bikes). I wonder why..

I hope you're wrong, I recently got myself a Miche 51t chainring and haven't got around to try it yet. Seems like Miche stuff hasn't so much of good reputation.

Tbh I still would prefer Pistard wheels over ellipses. At least their axles don't break so often and they don't charge so much for almost 2Kg of wheel.

Just curious: How much were the HEDs?

price reduced, open for offers

I saw a lot of people complaining about the Miche parts. But what exactly is the problem with them? Is it just bad reputation or is there actually a difference you can feel when using them? Do the pedal threads strip out quickly? Do they flex or bend or even break?

pm for the Campa Pista

I always thought the 75s are the stiffest but are you sure that the DD version is stiff enough, too?
And where to get them for 210? I just saw them for 299 including a Zen chainring..

I heard they are not compatible.

Suginos are another option, but so far I haven't seen any of them around lately.
Proper non-sram BBs are pricey, you think its still worth it? And whats the issue with rotor BB's and Miche?

Hi guys!

So, I am about to replace my stock noname cranks on my track bike for something nicer, with 144mm BCD and maybe stiffer. But I still struggle in choosing the right set. At the end of the month I will hopefully have saved almost 200 pounds so that I could try to invest in something nice - or even nicer when bought used. But which one to chose?

• My first considerations were Sram omniums, as they come with the BB and are relatively cheap to get. But after talking to some people and their experience I heard that many have problems with their aluminium crank bolts and the poor quality of the GXP bottom bracket, which both have to be replaced by more reliable counterparts. When considering costs through the life cycle they seem to be not so much of a good deal anymore.

• Also very nice but much more pricier would be Rotor 3D track cranks, sometimes people are selling them for much cheaper and noone complained about their BB or chainring bolts so far to me. Also their black aero finish would suit my bike best, but thats secondary at this point.

• Many favour Dura Ace track cranks. I am kinda attracted to their octalink version. Although they are a bit out of budget when new I would see if I could get some used ones and polish them a bit.

• Much cheaper are Miche Primato Advanced Track cranks. I saw lots of people using them. Are they actually worth it? I worry they might be considerably heavier than the rest and wouldn't be such an inprovement from my current setup. But then again as they are much cheaper this would mean to have more money left to spend on other things like a new chain, new tyres etc..

I am more of a sub-70Kg endurance rider and not really the quadzilla-sprinter type, so superstiff is not very much needed. But even I feel a certain wobblyness in my cranks when accelerating, especially compared to my sram force road bike cranks. That's the reason for me to invest some money in that part.

any opinions?

Kendas are gone.

For sale is my beloved coyote road bike that I built up myself 5 months ago for my year abroad in London. I used it as a winter racing training and commuter bike and I was very happy with it.

The bike is based on a size 54 aluminium frame made of Easton Ultralite tubing. A straight-bladed steel fork adds comfort, robustness and a classy look to it. Frame and fork come from the early nineties and although some chips and scratches in the paint they dont have any bumps or serious damages. The frameset is equipped with more modern parts.

1. Shimano RS80 wheels. These wheels have a carbon-reinforced alloy rim which makes them incredibly easy to spin up. They are also robust and stiff enough for some proper climbing as I found out myself. As I was running a 9speed system they have a 9speed cassette attached to them.
   
2. Shimano Tiagra 4500 Shifters.
   
3. Shimano Ultegra 6700 rear deraileur. Was brandnew when put on the bike.
   
4. Shimano Tiagra front deraileur.
   
5. Shimano Tiagra 4600 brake Calipers.
   
6. Shimano 600/Ultegra crankset and FAG BB. The cranks were already attached to the frame. As I was lacking tools for the bottom bracket and found the crank to spin easily and freely I decided to stick with it. 52/42 chainrings, 170mm length. A Tiagra chainset can be given along with it for just 10 pounds more. Attached to the cranks are Look pedals.
   
7. Campagnolo aero seat post. Although I cannot exactly tell whether is a chorus or record seat post it is a very classic part.
   
8. San Marco Rolls Saddle. Has collected some scratches and dirt during the years of use.
   

9. Cinelli Campione Del Mondo Stem and bars. 42cm width. The white bar tape fits to the saddle.

10. Continental Gatorskin 25mm clincher tires. I never had any problems with these tires. Superbe grip and puncture resistance. Lots of life in them left.

The bike is clean and comes with a serviced chain and well-working cables and brakes. It is ready to use and perfect for fast commuting and race training. I cannot tell the exact weight of it but recon it to be around 8-8.5 Kg. If any further questions arise just message me.
