Alf 'Al' Webb Track Frame, and a saddle

Up for sale is my much hated/loved Alf Webb track frame. £80 ONO.



Would suit a rider who would normally take a 54 frame. It's a little too small for me and I'm 6ft.

This frame has super standard fittings, 27.2 seatpost, 1/18th headtube, 100 in the front and 120 in the rear, british threaded BB. Drilled for brakes front and rear.

Included will be the frame, forks, headset and stem. The headset needs a new star-fangled nut, at a cost of 50p, but is otherwise fine.

Advantages of this frame:

* Can be ridden on the track
* Big fat aluminium tubes = fairly stiff
* Cheap, and in good condition (seen very little use in the 8 or 9 months I've owned it)
* Paint job blinds children/thieves @ 50 ft. (it's purple with a metallic blue splattered all over it. I love it!)
* In need of a bike for the up coming polo tournament? Look no further!

Also for sale, seen in picture: White specialized alias saddle, fair amount of use, scuffs in the usual places, yours for £15. It's the narrow one, I think.

PM me offers.

I'm based in SE5, just off loughborough road, wouldn't be too adverse to lugging it reasonably central (say waterloo/south bank).

-Alex

...Oh, and it has an electro harmonix sticker on the side, and the headbadge is a spider with a smiley face, on a web. Cmon... worth it for that alone surely!!

Love the colour. That is a good cheap buy for someone.

I think that would look lovely with some plain black deep section wheels, now where can I get some of those... :-)

It was either take a picture of the no-name cranks which aren't for sale, or the fetching electro harmonix sticker that is. :)

Sureley thats a really sensible option for someone that had been considering a Langster or similar off the peg?

I wouldve bought that off you had I seen it a couple months ago.

Indeed it wasn't. I'm sure he loves his as much as I would love mine if it weren't too small.

DFP: that stings, I've been looking to sell this for months! Ne'er mind, I'm sure it'll find a loving home.

or just stick a six-fiddy on the front. the clearance is tight with a 700c, doesn't look bad at all with 650.

I forgot to mention - if a forum member sees you riding this bike, they will shower you with lotus petals. (At no extra cost)

:O!

That wasn't me! And the alf webb was here when i got home.. so.. does this mean there are two of these monstrosites bikes in london?!

The frame has a tentative dibs, by the way. Anyone who wants to get 2nd in line, PM me.

pj, I know your pain. Every day riding my sensible (um.) black steel frame, I secretly feel shame that I'm not the correct height to ride this work of cycling art.

i was asleep, then i woke up, then couldn't sleep again. i checked my email, then i checked this thread.

are you telling me this sweet, beautiful frame still hasn't found an owner? some fucking MUG took the diamante conversion for £85 over this?

this fucking country.
