Wanted: track frame/road frame with horizontal dropouts

Clive van Hilten said:

I'm after a track frame with fitted fork (preferably drilled for front
brake), in either steel or aluminium, 54 - 56cm. Alternatively a road
frame with horizontal dropouts, with fitted fork. Willing to pay up to
£140. Please email cavh at dialstart dot net.

Save another £160 and buy a new Fuji Track. The forks are drilled for a
brake, and the geometry is sufficiently relaxed that it won't throw you
off when you hit a pothole (some of those [censored]-paper clearance track
bikes are a bit too frisky to ride on the road).

Do those Fujis have enough clearance to fit Kent Peterson style Coroplast
homemade mudguards ?

There is a road frame with horizontal dropouts in the bike shed at work; I
have never paid it MUCH attention other than noting it has horiz. dropouts
and is therefore suitable for a fixed conversion. I dare say it could be
yours for nowt; the man who owned it fell in t'canal and drowned (riding
while [censored]) a couple of years ago. Interestingly, it was not the first
time he did that.. (fell in while [censored] that is, not drowned).

Anyway, poor old Peter's misfortune could be your starting point. BTW it's
not the actual one he was on at the time of course...

Would you like me to make a closer inspection of it, with a view to you
having it?

BTW I got an hour in this morning on my very own fixed, they ride superbly
well. Do it!

bfn,

Tony B

Hi Clive,
I know two hippies who lie around smoking dope. Any good to you?

Not high Sean.
