Odds of it actually arriving are what? slim to none, especially if people are ordering 30 of them?

I’d say it’s highly unlikely my order will go through but as I said I’m not bothered either way.

What are you planning on doing with them, starting a track team?

Punting on eBay at £500 each. But I’m pretty sure the ‘ordered 30’ post was a joke, no one would be that daft.

Ooh, someone’s bought them all, not available anymore!

On one track hubs, open sport rims, probably get some finishing kit from on-one too just to get a matching set as I’d need new track bars anyway.

It’s that or drum brake and dynamo front hub and coaster brake rear for the most utilitarian race bike commuter mash up ever!

I’d be frankly amazed if it actually turns up, but they’ve got form for being a bit silly – I bought a Mobi Bike wash for £10 from them once, well that sort of thing, whatever they were called a few years ago, kept it for a year, sold it for £40.

I think I must’ve go the last one (just!)

Phew!

Sweet looking thing. I’m sure I can turn into a weird commuter bike object – if it actually arrives.

Phew just got in there before it disappeared. Collecting it on monday…

Or Halfords have noticed and the quickest way to stop more carnage is to zero stock levels.

I am braced for a tinge of disappointment.

If someone successfully receives a small frameset I’ll offer to double their profits a take it off them for a tenner! I have a full track bike set-up sans frame in my workshop, sort of N+1/2?

Collecting it on monday…

Bet you’re not 🙂

Yeah, who’s gonna risk 30p on something as serious as this ha ha.

Well, my £5 payment was taken from PP, but now there’s a note to say “needs approval” I suspect that won’t be forthcoming

Took a punt on a click and collect, I ride a single braked fixed to work on back, I’ll not be stripping the old frame for parts just yet….

Gary_M – yeah, I bet I’m not collecting it on monday either.

Still, I’m going to find a shiny 1 pence piece from down the back of the safe just in case. Though, I’ll probably hold off ordering a bunch of single speed parts for the time being.

Well, my payments been taken from paypal..

Took a chance on delivery, why the hell not, I’d be kicking myself if you lot all get frames for a penny

Fantastic. Just ordered £4k worth of wheels and finishing kit for my 5 frames.

I hope halfords doesn’t let me down.

Website is now showing the frame as “Sorry, this product is not available at the moment”

Well they’ve sold out haven’t they 😉

Arse missed it

If anyone managed to get one in medium and wants to double their money then i’d be interested 😀

😆 Keep dreaming everyone

I think most people are realistic about this and know that’s it’s about 0.001% likely to happen, but if you’re not in it you can’t win it.

there need to be a sticky on here for the resulting bike builds. I can see some monstosities appearing if these frames ever turn up…

And its a big ‘if’…..

just had a ‘your product has been dispatched’ e.mail….

I’ve not 🙁 (yet, still clinging to hope 😛 )

Was that to collect in store?

I did consider doing a search to see if there were any on display in stores nearby and trying to get to the shop before all the orders get canceled :-p

IF… mine turns up – I plan on getting handy with the drill (to make some brake caliper mounting points) and to fit one of these (pictured below) to attach a rear mech. Then I’ll turn it into some sort of flat-barred commuting monstrosity. Or maybe somehow bastardise it into being a tourer.. 😛

I wouldn’t think so, when you collect in store from halfords the store call you to say your order is ready for collection.

ah bollocks…the dispatch was for some wiper blades bought last week…

this is going to be an emotional rollercoaster for all of us.

I ordered a couple to store and a couple delivered. If it arrives then I’m going to try with a drill. I have 4 so I can have a few goes.

120mm rear hub, so the only option would be a (really) old 126mm hub, and take some spacers off it if possible to get it to fit. And you’d still only have a screw on freewheel, probably 5 speed to fit?

Some pics online show a fork with a brake mount but not drilled, so there’s potential to drill the fork maybe.

Even I’m biting my bottom lip for you all..

Fingers crossed, and legs, possibly ears, could do hair considering it’s a bit long ATM.

Had a dispatch email, top PSA OP

Frantically hitting F5 on my e-mail hoping not too many orders for 30, 4, 5, whatever were made before by greedy people ruining it for everyone*

*love you really.

wishing I’d gone for delivery…

the thought of turning up at a store with a penny is not a comfortable one.

Oh yes… track frame chainline. Forgot about that.. 😳

Did someone say ‘screw on five speed freewheel’! Oooooooohhhhh 😛

This could be fun.

Do 8 speed shimano STIs work with a five-speed wheel?

Hmmm… :-/

This spread like wildfire amongst my club and associated friends… there must have been over 150 frames bought at a value of over £70k… I just can’t see this happening 🙁
