Its a really sweet bike.  Open to reasonable offers.

if by 'sweet' you mean inappropriate vert drops with slack chain, obtrusive welds, strangely chopped bars, bizarrely confusing rear sprocket, and generally heinously ugly and senseless 'fixie' conversion, then i'd have to agree with you.

what colour is that hub it looks more like a mouldy yellow?

  I agree to mostly all of it.  Now do you want to buy it?

1- nice use of colours in your build

2- i would set a price or you will get silly offer/no offers at all

3- if all fails then try londonfgss they might be interested.

4- what are the spec of the build tubing, size ect ect

5- welcome to the forum

im not interested in buying but just suggesting ways to help with the sale.

Thanks for the advice.  I can sense the hostility already.

Its small size originally Raleigh, ali frame.  54 cms from bb to the top.  Alloy rims, Michellin kevlar 700 new tyres and tubes.  Radius brakes.  Aero brakes levers which I picked from ebay.

just so you know, if you do go to the london forum, expect waaaay more hostility than pj here, (forget about him, he is trying to come to terms with the fact that the raliegh T.I is a ticking clock on countdown to ebay). it is generally considered bad manners on that forum to try and sell something on your first post, especially with little or no info about the bike however sweet it is. take your time to have a look through the threads on there, the popcorn thread is especially good s it puts all the threads with arguments in one place so you can see how things develop and how people (often new members) react to the abuse so easily dished out over there. it'll give you a taste of how people get down and what to expect. that forum used tobe so so different but now with more and more members its like its so much cooler (and easier) to dish out abuse to people for any reason whatsoever. get your spelling and grammar correct, use the search, read the rules, and lurk about for a bit and get the feel for the place and attitudes. remember a hell of a lot of people know each other on that forum (as do on this one), mick taking is a lot more aceptable between friends than total strangers. ride whatever yo want to, cometo the rides/races and meet people if you like and become an active member of the community. it has the potential to be more than simply a place to sell your stuff. all cyclists are snobbish in some way or another. but also we are particular, so we point out things like the vertical dropouts and the rear hub that doesnt appear to be a true fixed hub. we know these things, peole that are buying (and sometimes selling) dont always know these things and there are safety issues to be concerned with you know?

trying to be helpful rant over.

good luck selling your bike.
