This is about the only frame I can afford in Aus, so I need to know whether its worth getting.

Decent framebuilder, nothing spectacular. That is newer than the PB frames I'm familiar with though. Quite short!

One just wonders why it's freshly powdercoated. The dreaded c-word comes to mind... I'd think about whether the seller is reliable.
I mean, why choose an arbitrary colour and powdercoat it when you're gonna sell it as a frameset, not complete? Unless it's been crashed and repaired and I want to cover that up, I'd leave it as is and let the buyer decide what colour they want.
It looks nice though.

A lot of framebuilders paint their frames before selling them.

The seller is certainly reliable. He's a regular poster on these forums.

You've never seen a repainted vintage frame before? There's any number of reasons why it could've been powdercoated, and while hiding crash-related sketchiness is probably one of them I would say it's less than unlikely in this case with this particular seller.

OK then.

WRT "A lot of framebuilders paint their frames before selling them.": I hope they all do. But I was under the impression that this is a used frame.

Whats an aheadset?

Threadless headset

It's a brand of headset

Appreciate the knowledge droppin'

people often use aheadset to refer to a threadless headset even though its just a brand name. similar to the way people say band-aid when they mean a self adhesive bandage, or kleenex when they mean facial tissue. Its kind of a pet peeve of mine for some reason.

I'll have to remember to say self adhesive bandage the next time I take a big chunk of skin off my hands at bike church.


Also, how is aheadset pronounced? a-headset? ah-eatset? aheat-set?

a-headset. I didnt mean I hated all brand name dropping... just that one in particular, for the very reason youre asking about... when you pronounce it, it sounds like "a headset" which on the fly is much less descriptive than "threadless headset" especially when I think youre just saying "hey you! I need a headset" and im like "what size? threaded or not?"

ahead-set

well we should change it to new aged gimmic that looks like a pile of **** set.




That was a joke don't get all horney about another threadless vs threaded headset arguement now folks.

mr white is legit. if you have any questions about the frame, ask him, he'll give you straight answers.

it's a Not-Chris-King-Head-Set

for the record, I am a big fan of threadless, but only ride threaded.. whatever that means. THOUGH.. I do have a threaded to threadless adapter, so maybe im just a poser.

You are definately a poseur.

You live in south philly not france, if anything spell it "posah"

I would SO ride an Al Bundy track frame

with a threadless headset

Only if you had a matching white belt

Yeah, everyone, google that and you'll see he's right.

I have a Peter Bundy as well. Damn it's a fun ride!

The guy was actually discussed here on the forums (I know, I know... but a simple search for the builder's name would have solved this).

+1 on the seller being a 'good bloke'... somewhat of a scallywag, but definitely a straight shooter. Ask him about the frame if you have any questions.
