London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

Miche-Mavic-Sapim clincher track fixed gear wheels set

Currently sitting at £37, but there's a while to go yet.

I get the feeling that whoever is selling this doesn't quite know what they're letting themselves in for...

Ok just ignore this - he can't confirm its actually a Harry Quinn. Fork crown does look a little odd.

Very sweet Harry Quinn 55cm Track Frame - £170 quid from Robert.

a bike should have a man's name written on it. (although I'd happily ride a bareknuckle)

if that was my size, I'd be tempted.

I'd like to see one with a woman's ;) :p

A nice Gazelle Champion Mondial Time Trial Bike / funny bike on ebay Holland

What bike do you wish you could ride ? Semi horizontal dropouts SS or FG

I like the idea of rebadging old frames with silly names like:

Harry Monk, or Alfie Noakes

I often see some bizarre names on bikes and wonder if they are for real. Look out for a Jock Strapp frame coming to London streets soon !!

I saw the frame in person. It looks good, the paint is really thick so the lug details kinda faded out. I was tempted but the fork is drilled.

does anyone know who bought that concorde TT frame?

<blockquote><cite> dexterflexter:</cite>does anyone know who bought that concorde TT frame?</blockquote>

no but i wanted that soooo bad but got confused about the end time of the auction. and it went for (to my mind) a sweet price.

This guys got a whole bunch of Japanese Keirin Race posters. Some are awful mind:

Nice track frame

http://cgi.ebay.de/REYNOLDS-735-fram...QQcmdZViewItem

Hey jos i thought that was your account, I really want that world championship edition rolls! Love those stripes! I put in the first bid, lets see how it runs! Good Luck!

Hi glow/max sorry dude I met many people for the first time that day, but was you the guy wearing mostly bike apparel with a rucksuck?

yeah i was hoping to get around 50-60 for it, they are about 60+ brand new.

Damn haven't listed anything this weekend, weather was too nice to stay in!

just bought this sweet gazelle frame on ebay gonna fix it up as soon as it arrives

http://goto.glocalnet.net/bluedot/

That gazelle is sweeeeeet! where did you get that from? Was it an ebay shop or a private seller?

The cable thingies on the top tube are strange.

What is that wingnut hanging for the top tube for?

Internal cable routing on the TT so the thingies are to stop water etc getting in. The wingnut is an attachment point for a race number.

Sweet frame!

Won it on ebay yesterday nervous last 5 mins as another bidder jumped in. After seeing that Gazelle track beauty in Brick Lanes Cycles and another nice one on the streets of London I thought it might be a nice one to fix up. I am tempted to remove any sticky outy bits with a dremel but I guess it would be a shame if ever it were to go back to a geared bike and could well mess up the nice paint job. Now just got to get the bits to get it road worthy. Any suggestions for a nice strong hub rim combo. I see quite a bit of Suntour Superbe Pro hubs on ebay .... worth the effort ? Nice kit ? I am not sure about the rear hub width will I have to get a free hub or will I get a track hub to fit ? I have relied on my l.b.s. to assist in builds in the past I might try and do this one all myself using Sheldon Browns site and the Fixed Gear Gallery Bobs Garage see if I can work it all out myself.

Dear Bank manager ..........

Such as these hubs

are they good quality kit ? Strong break / cog stripping free ? free ?

If I had £300 and could justify buying another track bike this would be mine:

Really nice frame dicki, i dunno much about superb pro but apparently it's the best stuff suntour make so it must be alright..
I've got loads of bike stuff in my Garage incase you need anything...

Those Suntour Superbe hubs (with the bronze circle) are the jam. IMHO better than high flange DAs or Suzue Pro Max NJS.

Smooth like butter, build into strong track wheels and they look great. They're all round lovely lovely hubs.

Not the best hubs for street riding as they're loose ball, but if you know how to maintain hubs you can keep 'em rolling for years. Its also hard to find parts for them (ie cones, axles etc) these days which is another reason to treat them well.

Used to fetch a pretty premimum on Ebay, so either they're going to get expensive or the market for NJS bling is cooling off.

^^ what Pip said.

The frame is probably spaced at 126mm so you could either cold set it to 120mm, use a 120mm hub and just screw the tracknuts down to take up the 3mm either side or add spacers (if the axle is long enough) to talke the OLN of the hub up to 126mm. The second option isn't ideal but will work, the first will require a bit more work than the third but they are both good.

Please don't cut things off that frame - it would be a real shame. If you want the clean look then buy a track frame.

Use a 130mm hub and remove one of the spacers from one side?

What do you mean? They're laced already! All you need to find are the four small tyres to put on them :)

None at all, but just wanted to say... best eBay username ever.

thats my e-mail address too having worked in the city i know what they are like

i also have mediawanker@hotmail.co.uk if anyone would care to swap it for a 144bcd campy chainring

Lol, that just made me seriously consider signing up for fixedgeartwat@hotmail.com

It's available too

I found this track bike on French Ebay if anyone is interested. It ain't mine...

He says 'Really good condition, only used 10 times!' in the item description.

And dicki, i think i have a 52t 5-hole campy chainring somewhere downstairs, unsure about the BCD though, i'm afraid. I'll bring it on sunday so'z you can have a butchers...
Ok - upon further reading the seller wants to buyer to collect ...

This guy always has some nice stuff on eBay

Check out this very nice Colnago frame chromed lugs but typical garish Colnago paint job he links a website for close ups of the important bits

His other stuff include nice classic campy stuff. He updates quite regularly. I guess he just buys a nice bike and disassembles sells the stuff for a profit sounds like a nice life if the profit bit happens !

Tiemeyer industrial looking track frame for sale small size though
