Is this any good?

that's very nice!

shorter cranks to avoid pedal strike would be a good idea - 165 or 170mm.

these are the specs for a unipack
DO NOT buy this bike.

Can someone put ap a unipack sticky? . . these hunks of sh!t keep coming back to haunt us

they have even gone up to £299 as well

i have seen about 10 of them around town

Good plan, it could go something like this...

Newbies, please read before posting

Tips for the masses:

1. If you are here to use a precious first post to ask "Any one have a cheap 'fixie' for under £70?", then dont.
2. If you are here to use a precious first post to ask "Are those unipack bikes on 'the bay' any good?", then dont.
3. [any more ideas?]

4. ride bike with loose sprocket/lock ring and complain that u stripped the threads??

...point taken, but surely when pedaling forward the lockring is self tightening? So why were the threads stripped?

international search brings up some classy stuff

Damn !

Missed another great frame !! :(

This went for £160

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Simoncini-purs...QQcmdZViewItem

bought by BLB no less.

with the cog and 'ring properly tightened, the threads are under a more constant stress which they can deal with. if the 'ring is loose the cog will perpetually unscrew and tighten again, putting the threads under repetitive impact loads, which they are NOT designed to deal with.

Analogy: Hitting a nail with a hammer makes it go into piece of wood. It's harder to push it in with the same hammer.

Ok, crap analogy, but it makes sense to me

Someone should try get this sent over from Italy.
I would if I had space. Had a BIN of about €400 when first listed.
It's great...
Chrome forks and stays too.

Hubba jubba. Looking at the prices of that Simoncini and Bob Jackson, I reckon I should be selling my frame. It's a Basso, same styling as the Simoncini but has been repainted by Argos cycles and is a 59 (fits me well at 5'10").

/me goes off to take some pictures

Bit of a strange one, but I have always loved Kleins.

This is an MTB frame, but with what look like track ends- if I am wrong I await the torrent of abuse that is bound to follow:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KLEIN-RASCAL-Mountain-Bike-Frame

I (did) have a Cannondale 1FG MTB which I ran as a fixed gear, and in the brief time that I had it thought that it was a great bike, with front suspension to take the edge off the London roadscape and enough top tube clearance to get you out of trouble knackers intact.

Cheers everyone for posting up all of those lovely lo-pro frames. I'm in the market for one and checking this thread is like getting a summary of the interweb in one easy place.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, and crank, if you are selling your frame let me know. Same goes for Joelounge, Todd and anyone else with a lo-pro.

don't do it andy!! By the time you get one we'll have moved on to kitting up women's frames or something... :P

gotta say I think my next one'll be a lo-pro too..I've realised they're the frames I now drool over.. bloody trendsetters, making me become a bandwagoner..

I'm just glad that simoncini would be laughably small for me. But the pink Bob Jackson...

aaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhlllll............

That pink Bob Jackson runs a 24" front wheel for anyone interested in bidding on it.

anyone after a novelty 26" front wheel for their lo-pro? just bought a carbon road wheelset and low on funds SOLD

That Ron Spencer is a bargain

Would love this but I think i ought to hold out for a new track frame rather than a conversion

people, be aware that this is a converted road bike and don't shell big £££'s ;)

it does actually state that dale!!
