Wanted: Fully built beater... - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Dr Crippen · 13th October 2008

Looking for around the £150 mark. I know I'm asking a lot, but had to sell my other bits for my current build and I can't get my other 2 from Sunderland this month so, about a 56 and not fussy about the rest.

Has to get me to work and back for a few months! Then quite tempted to use for Polo??? Is it worth it?

Just on the off chance anyone has some spares or an old girl laying about!

Thanks all.

Realise your probably looking for something in London but i have a beater that i was about to put on the bay. might be too much of a beater but im only looking for aound £50 and i reckon it could be quite a good polo bike with a little work.

i had it on ebay a while ago and it got to round £75 i think it was but the winning bidder turned out to be a total chump and couldn't pay for it.

Thanks mate,

Let me know when you can.

mechanical_vandal · 13th October 2008

Ok, found a reeeealy long ruler and the frame measures up as 18" centre of b/b to top of seattube.
I feel i should point out that the back wheel is a suicide hub with a b/b lockring holding the cog on i was going to jb weld it on but as I'm barred from the nearest halfords i haven't got around to getting any yet.
