Unknown bike frame single speed i paid $100 for complete bike can someone name this
CAN SOMEONE NAME THIS FRAME
JUST BOUGHT MY SINGLE SPEED / FIXED GEAR BIKE TODAY , I PAID $100
THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT CUSTOM BUILD AND IT WAS GARAGE KEPT.
BIKES INFO
58cm frame, powder coated red. Single speed setup wit a flip/flop rear wheel for fixed gear. Deep V rims 700c.
Brooks saddle, Brooks grips. Adjustable stem, mustache handlebar. Double action brake lever.
Center stand kickstand.
I PLAN TO SWAP OUT THE MUSTACHE BARS AND ADD THE BULL HORN HANDLEBARS
THE SEAT ALONE AND GRIPS COST MORE THAN WHAT I PAID FOR THE ENTIRE BIKE.
GOD BLESS CRAIGSLIST AND GOOD NEGOTIATING lol
he wanted $250 but wasn't able to provide the frame name ..
the ride is smooth , tires, brakes, and chain are all new.....

Can we get another non-driveside shot?
Multiple pictures of the same side and same exact same angle really help. Put some grass in the background for this one though.

My guess is 1995 Trek 520.
I hope I win something if it is.

Hahaha, postimage.org is blocked here. Must be some good pr0n elsewhere on that server.
Thumbnail pics aren't much help, so sticking with orig. guess for now.

yeah, i've never seen anything like that before but that makes sense.
if that bike didn't have hideous wheels and an ugly stem, I would dig it.

I actually like the bars. I think it fits the style of frame better than drops or bullhorns would.
I would just change out the stem and see if someone would trade some classier looking wheels for those loud green ones.
There's potential there for a very decent townie. Especially for 100 bucks!

that stem i've only ever seen on a giant TCR1 before.
therefore, by the powers of logic and deduction, it must be a giant tcr1!!!!!!!!!

You gonna eat that?
I'm hatin' on the ALL CAPS first post. Also, I hate the Ravens. Oh, and finally.... tell the guy you bought that from, "Don't steal bikes, bro!"

As long as the original owner isn't an ex-Navy SEAL....

bike as it stands is pretty ugly, but for 100 bucks for all that its a steal.
which makes me think it was stolen. nobody is going to spend....oh at least 500 dollars building a "custom" bike (100 for a brooks, 200 for deep vs, 50ish for brooks grips, then theres the frame and all other components), not ride it, then sell for 100. well maybe some people do.
