Found A Cheap Track Frame (Cheaper Than Leader) - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

edscoble · 27th August 2008

I was mulling about on ebay and came upon a £75 track frame (inc. fork), thought there's a catch but so far it said it's 4130 Chromoly steel;

Eighth-Inch Scrambler track frame

there's dozen of them in different size on ebay, it look rather decent for a 4130 chromoly frame it has to be said, the carbon fibre fork is probably those fork that's have carbon wrapped around the metal.

5.2 lbs for the frame alone is heavy - I'd guess it's plain gauge tubing.

why does it cost a lots more than posting a deep v wheelsets? (they're about £15 to post), the frame's slighty bigger than the wheelsets.

I suppose that's the problem with the internet, it's harder to tell whether there's piss-taking involved or not.

BRM · 27th August 2008
