Should add I may swap for some nice Disc and tubeless compatible wheels. 700c 11 Speed Shimano/Sram

I've a niggling knee and hip injury caused by me breaking my hip a few years ago. Physio say its gears from now on so I'm selling my Dolan FXE. I've used it for short blasts as well as century rides and I'll be sad to see it go. It’s a great training bike/commuter.

There are a few scratches which I've tried to highlight in the pics. Heli taped where the brake cable touches the frame. I've also added some reflective strips to the frame.

Gearing is 42x16 which I've found fine for riding around Bristol. There is a freewheel included which I've never used. All the bearings are running smoothly with zero play. Lots of life left in the rims and tyres.

Size is 52cm and the geometry is located on the Dolan website. http://www.dolan-bikes.com/dolan-track-bikes/track-bikes/track-aluminium/dolan-fxe-aluminium-fixie-bike-black-gloss.html

Matt finish not Gloss. Click on geometry. I'm 176cm if its any help with sizing and I'm running a 100cm stem. Bars are 42cm C to C.

The bike is in excellent working order as you'll see from the photos. Very little wear on the drivetrain and lots of life in the pads. Rim wear is also minimal. Some damage to the saddle (its an old Fizik Aliante with carbon rails). Some scratches on the driveside fork leg from leaning against a wall (see photos).

Based in Bristol and would prefer the bike to be picked up. Please email me if you have any questions. My email address hwepangatgmaildotcom.

Looking for £375.00

To be honest it was kind of a gift, hence I don't really wanna take money for it, just looking for a trade. I'd say its worth about 160 or thereabouts, so offers of similar value. Ideally I'm after a plastic front wheel, or a decent crankset/bb, but would welcome any sensible offers.

What kind of chainset are you looking for?

Interested in the frame but not the fork. How much would you want for it?

Sold the frame for and headset for £85.00. Thanks for all the interest.

Good price & lovely frame

Thanks

nice job!! who did the powder coat? is the chainstay bridge OK? lorra lorra rust in original pic?

These guys did the powder coating http://www.realitymotorworks.com/
All the rust was removed and it was ok underneath. £55 for the frame and fork.. Masked it well and it came out really well. Pretty thick though so some of detailing on the fork crown is lost.

What length is the seat tube ctc?

Do you know if it will it take 28c with mudguards?

Will take 25's but not sure about 28s's.

Hi Guys/Gals,

Thanks for all the interest. I've promised the frame to a person who lives locally and I am meeting up with him next week.

Will confirm its gone next week.

Thanks again.

I am selling my winter frame its a Whitcomb frame. Before and after pics below. 52cm top tube. Has eyelets for mudguards. Could be a fixie if you like as it has horizontal drop outs. Campag adjusters on the drop outs. I can also leave the stops for the shifters. Requires deep drop brakes and I have some Sora ones if required. Also includes the stronglight seal bearing headset which is in perfect condition. £85.00

I am based in Bristol and happy to meet up if you want to take a closer look. Email is best hwepangatgmail.com Might exchange for a similar fixed wheel frame.

Finally finished the renovations on my 50's bike. All original except the stem which I replaced because it got damaged during removal. I had to fit the following new items-chain, tyres and bar tape. I had the cranks re-chromed here
S and T Electroplate

The Alpha Centre Armstrong Way
Great Western Business Park
Yate
BS37 5NG

They did a great job for only £50.00 + vat.

Sorry for the crap pictures. I'll get some better ones outside when the weather improves.

Agreed Teddy, just needs a rag over it. It's a beauty.

Only planning to lube and polish the bike. The hubs and bottom bracket still need lubing which I plan to do next week then I am going to use some fine wire wool to remove the surface rust before polish cranks, hubs, spokes, stem, etc...

No plans to change any parts on the bike as I wanted to keep it as it is.

Looks like Airlite hubs too ? Looks 1950's ish ? The Classic Rendezvous mailing list is a good place to get bikes id

Yes airlite hubs. Will check out classic rendezvous.

Cheers

That is very special. Chater Lea cranks, pedals and hubs. GB spearpoint stem, GB lever.. all top notch stuff. Is there a serial number at all, apart from the Nervex numbers? On the BB or rear drop out? What do you plan to do with it, restoration wise? Looks all original. Just wants a good clean and polish in my opinion.

Yes I am planning to clean and polish the whole bike. I have already regreased the headset and pedals. The hubs and bottom bracket will be done sometime next week then I plan to ride it although the super narrow bars are quite scary.

I'll post some more pics once I get it cleaned up.

Just got this bike to restore but I cannot identify the frame. Can anyone help?
