I'm starting a project with a total budget of £600-£700 and I will dedicated £300-£400 on the frame, however, I've been looking at a couples of frames such as Fort and Dolan but i don't actually know if they're 'good' or not. What should I consider when defining what a 'good' frame is?

Also, if you could also mention frames within my price range of £300-£400 i'd appreciate it very much. Note I'd prefer track frames over lo pro's

Thanks

So I need a new project to keep me occupied then I saw the listing with its rather poor photos and thought i'd take a punt, this is what the seller put up as a photo:



I won it by fluke as no one else bid and i'd only bid the minimum price, which was the princely sum of £40 (+£24 p&p). That £24 bought me the highest quality of shipping:



cling film and newspaper, both highly renowned bike protect devices. Luckily it survived its trip from france to me unscathed.

and this is what it looked like when i unwrapped it and took a photo with proper lighting:



quite a difference no?


I do currently have a road bike which i dont use mostly because i've never quite got the fit right but also because i dont like the look of it (shallow I know). So i need to get that sold so i can start the build of this. Once that's gone it means i'll have now Alu bikes left and my entire collection will be steel.
I'm thinking of building it with 9/10 speed non-carbon campagnolo. Not sure what i'm going to do for wheels yet, if i can get some cheap hubs i'll build them myself.

I know jack-shit about campag stuff so i really need to read up on compatibility of parts, as it'd be quite nice to save a bit of cash by older stuff and bodging it up to 10 speed.

I added the very first part today, the seat post bolt, i'm sure you can survive with out seeing a photo of that though.

Hopefully this will prove to be an interesting build.

For some stupid reason I'm building up another rat look bike with some nicely aged bits and I'm looking for some beaten-up bar tape to go with a tired old Brooks brown saddle. Doesn't have to be leather, but it'd be nice. Will happily consider stem and bars too to save separating.

Cyclist travelling north along green lanes, at the junction where the Brownswood Park Tavern is - car turning right across into Brownswood Rd going towards Finsbury Park into path of cyclist and bam.

Car, a VW, posibly a Sirocco, pulled over just afterwards, but then fucked off immediately afterwards while Nick's still in the road. If you noticed a VW car with damage to its front quarter, that could be it.

It's the night where the snow just started falling again so if you're reading this later that should jog your memory. Post here or PM me or Nick if you habve anything, his bike is totalled and while he seems OK, it's no fun being taken out by a fucking hit and run driver.

Bought from the forum less than a year ago. Ridden under 100 miles... Breaks my heart but this has to go to pay and make space for something else.

Bought from the forum less than a year ago. Ridden under 100 miles since. These photographs were taken in August time last year and it can't have gone 20 miles since then. I've kept it indoors at all times and haven't ridden it in the rain.

I can take more pictures if requested.

I measure it 56cm ctc square. I'm 5'9" and ride it as seen. To be honest, I think I've needed a shorter stem and the bike is generally a bit too big - the (aero) seatpost is as low as it can go and it feels high for me.

It's Shimano 600 with 105 levers and a DA freewheel. Campy headset and seatpost. 3TTT bar and stem. Simplex levers. Mavic MA40 with Michelin Hi-Lite Road 20c tyres. They seem a bit old, but they've not had a lot of use and roll perfectly.

The rest you'll see from the pictures in terms of condition. There are the usual chips, scratches and corroded spots that you'd expect from a bike of this age, but the chrome is perfect. No dents or cracks.

The bike won't come with the pedals in the picture, but instead will come with some MKS MT-Lux Compe's with MKS brown leather trimmed clips and brown leather straps. They are the exact pedals in this picture: http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4085/5...e9c5b3e9_b.jpg

The bike will not come with the Rolls saddle - but I will fit a cheap saddle which I rode once for 5 miles to get a bike home. It's black, synthetic covered and has a graphic on the side saying 'Velo'. I'll take a picture if requested.

If I have missed anything, just ask. If you want more pics or higher quality ones of these, let me know. It is available for collection from Stoke Newington this Saturday, Monday afternoon/evening and Tuesday and Wednesday evening next week by arrangement.

I'd like what I've put into this which is £430. First with the cash, gets the bike.





















I am also selling the Brooks-leather wrapped System Ex bars and chrome mudguards from this bike, and a Kashimax top tube protector. http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4154/5...01b56042_b.jpg

Bars-£25
Mudguards-£20
TT Protector-£15

These can be collected in SE1 most days, and N16.

Cheers,
J
