My Bike - Reduced Price

it's a sad day but I've got a track bike to build up so need to get some coinage in

Venom Sabre track frame - resprayed by Mercian in a pearlescent white [nice and shimmery] - 56cm comparative to road frame sizing

White Industries Cranks

Phils front and back, fixed fixed laced to mavic CXP30's

nitto pearl stem

nitto noodle bars

hand stitched bar wrap

campy aero stem

Brooks Swift saddle

Currently running as SS but hub is fixed/fixed - In pristine condition, not looking to split, 900 quid - now down to 800 quid

my pride and joy but Herne Hill beckons…

surely the obvious point is :

why not fit new bars to this TRACK frame and take the brakes off?

take off the bars,put on a new crankset for track ratios and take off the brooks saddle cos I would prefer a flatter saddle for the track then give it a good thrashing around the drome

You're right, what was I thinking! I'll keep it and you can let me borrow your condor on saturdays, don't mind if I drop it or give the bottom bracket a few whacks with a hammer to raise it up a bit if I go to the track in Newport?

Thank you for showing me the errors of my ways

sorry, i just thought it was a track frame, and you might have been able to use it rather than sell it and never see it again.
