London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

290 is a damned good price but I couldn't justify the cash right now. It would have been 350 with postage and this month is already making me feel poor. I'm going to get the Sunday build out of the way first then start looking for a new fixed project. Should be around about March.

I've got a mountain bike which is begging to be made into fixed too (It has track ends). Likely a polo bike of some sort.
Don't suppose you've seen a 135mm fixed/free anywhere cheap?

I like the look of this, I've brought a couple of things from this seller before. Always seems to have a few really good random things

why bother with the US postings, it's a major PITA to get over here!

scrapper, don't know about that frame, he says has drops changed then says they are original, weird

yeah i just realized the name was only similar to the person i thought it was as well haha,
they say they are original again in one of the questions.
some idiot told them to put track in the tittle , damn it

It's not U.S it's Japan, And If someone wants a NJS frame like myself, your options are limited. Paying an additional $110 to have this shipped is not the end of the world.

random question:

How long should it take for someone to contact you about an auction you have won
I paid straight away.
Its been three days i think now

anyone?

I think ebay recommend you wait seven days before taking further action.

Just ask them if they've shipped and if they can provide tracking number/proof, then if they don't get back to you panic a bit. If you don't hear anything after 10 days you can report them

cool thanks

OK, japan is fine, US is just a mega pain and costly.

I would actually trust a Japanese seller more than a UK seller. No offence UK Headz.

Found my lights for this winter.

just for the uninitiated, the first rule of workstand club, is that you NEVER clamp the top tube.

the second rule is that you NEVER clamp the top tube.

you fit a seatpost and clamp that.

with a wall thickness of .4 - .6 of a mm with butted tubes it's a very silly thing to do.

Did anyone see this? Got up at 6am this morning to bid. Got it for £218. Has a Suntour crankset too. Under £250 inc shipping.
Never heard of De Santi or the tube maker. Camus Tubes Legers - Carbon Manganese. Judging by the lugs I reckon it's steel. Anyone got any info?

Looks nice though! ;-)

Think that'll mean the Paganini will be up for sale if anyone's interested.
I'm supposed to be saving space not filling it.

This is a fucking steal!

if your paganini was my size i would love to have it, it's got the coolest paintjob - decal combo i've ever seen.

Cheers Ed! ;-)
I do love that bike. It's 56cm by the way.

Agree but certainly one for the bigguns. Wasn't someone on her wanting a big frame...?

If I hadn't just sorted myself out with a bike last week I'd be all over that like a... something at a somethingorother.

tis nice, how did that slip through my ebay trawling :(

lets be friends...

Have you a piccie of the Paganini built up?????????

pretty pretty

Hi there, just joined after lurking for some time. Still not fixed, but I am on the lookout. I've spotted the above. Am I missing any howlers or would this make a good first fixed?

I have about £150 to get up and running... basically I'm after something simple with a flipflop. Doesn't need bells and whistles... one step at a time.

Thanks

seriously doubt that will go for under £200, could be wrong though.

thanks db
he's offered it to me for £200
...good deal?

very good deal, get it

Can he do that? There's bids on it already..

i don't know what the rules are with ending auctions early.

but its good to know that if the bidding goes up that high it is still worth it.

(nobody else is allowed to bid ok!)

sure he can, that's how i got my ellsworth so cheap...;P

good deal! buy it. it happens all the time ;) , especially if its a new listing, can say it had a mistake etc
