!!! New Winter Bike Bargain !!! UPDATED 24/12

[velofrog]

thought i would share this, he has lots of other frames going cheap.....

saw this Voodoo Wanga on ebay and couldn't resist!!
the plan is to save my Alves frame from being ruined as my winter/work bike by using this instead!
i'm running single-speed and the voodoo has sliding dropouts so no need for a tensioner!
and the best bit..... he accepted an offer of £80 so £90 posted for a brand new frame!
happy days!!



here's a link to a 17 inch version, you can check out his other items from this:

Re:

Been watching these aswell, looks like it'll build into something quite smart.

Nice deal. Also watched these but think a 19" will be too small like kona's are for me.

Re:

Right, I've put a cheeky offer on one of the Aluminium frames ( and I mean cheeky! )
Let's see how this pans out..(like I need another bike :facepalm: )

Re:

here are a few pics of some of the frame details.

the frame arrived next day, even to me up here in the cold and windy north!

sliding dropouts are great, perfect for my SS setup, cable guides are all neat, top tube one has one side with no stops to take a hydraulic line for discs too which is nice.

paint finish is nice, but looks like its gonna be easy to chip, but for £90 posted, i can't fault it!

only bugger for me is the head tube is 20mm longer than the Alves, so now my forks don't fit! gutted!!

gonna be perfect as my new work/winter bike though!

AND it's made from black magic, so maybe it'll just pedal me to work on it's own!! :xmas-big-grin:

Re:

might have to try and sell the forks now unless anyone can come up with a fix? one of the pics shows the steerer only half way through the stem! bummer!

lovely forks too, don't want to get rid

Loose the king headset and get a low stack headset which might get u a bit more fork steerer in the stem

Re:

bike now finished! had a local welder/fabricator add 70mm to the fork steerer!
still back brake to finish, but took it round the block yesterday and it rides really nicely!
highly recommended for anyone looking for a cheap work/winter run-around!
