I have a few track frames that I need to sell, they aren't bargains by any means, but they're beautiful frames so I feel they're priced pretty fairly. They're available to view/collect from London N1, or I can post these worldwide at cost.


Go Virginia Track - £425

Seat Tube: 59cm (ctt)
Top Tube: 56cm (ctc)
Rear Dropouts: 120mm
Seatpost Diameter: 27.2mm
Tubing: Columbus

You have to see this in the flesh to appreciate it fully, the pictures really don't do it justice. It's a wonderful track frame built from super lightweight Columbus tubing, with lovely chrome, amazing paintwork and fine detail all round. A very unique frame.

Saba Track - £375

Seat Tube: 56cm (ctt)
Top Tube: 55cm (ctc)
Rear Spacing: 120mm
Seatpost Diameter: 27.2mm
Tubing: Reynolds 531

I love this frame. It looks very similar to a Colnago Super/Mexico, and has a Reynolds 531 decal applied, which although it seems odd that the importers of Columbus tubing would use Reynolds for their own frames, there is no Columbus stamping on the steerer or anywhere else, so I assume that it is indeed built from 531. Anyway, whether it's 531 or Columbus, it's a beautiful, lightweight track frame in great condition.

Colnago Super Pista - £700

Seat Tube: 58cm (ctt)
Top Tube: 57cm (ctc)
Rear Spacing: 120mm
Seatpost Diameter: 27.2mm
Tubing: Columbus

This I believe to be a Super Pista, and others I have spoken to believe it to be too. The frame was restored by Colourtech before I bought it, and although I never saw the original paint, I imagine the colour scheme and decals have been changed. The work carried out however looks very professional and it looks very neat indeed. A tidy and very fresh looking classic Colnago, built from Columbus tubing. The frame is free from any damage, apart from the very tiniest kink in the non-drive side rear dropout, which was probably a result from having a 110mm rear in it, but this really is minor. The frame is ridiculously light and oozes quality, check out the pics to see for yourself.

Holdsworth? Path Frame - £75
Seat Tube: 60 ctt, Top Tube: 57 ctc
Rear Spacing: 120mm

I bought this on ebay a while ago and the seller was a little dishonest. It was listed as a Holdsworth, I have not confirmed the authenticity of this, however I do know the forks are not original as the numbers do not match. They look fine with the frame though. I could tell it was beaten up, but he failed to tell me about the dents in the frame. There's a decent sized one in the top tube and then a few more little ones to boot. One of the rear stays has also been stretched out, probably to squeeze a 120mm wheel in there. This is still a salvageable frame, I was planning on restoring it but I have far too many projects on at the moment so hopefully someone else can bring it back to life.
