Not brilliantly advertised, so may go cheap.

I've read the description a couple of times and it's still not clear if the wheels are included, but it sounds like they are.

Too small, else I would have been tempted (again).

I got it! 43£+20£(shipping) I hope it has the Shimano DX thumb shifters.

That seems like a good price - even better if the shifters turn out to be DX thumbies.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you'll start a build thread once it arrives.

My first impression is that this forum is a bit more friendly than the london fixed gear and single speed...lol....Ok, once the Solaris arrives I will post some better pics.

I can't answer for other forums, but this forum is friendly most the time

1. I used Interparcel and paid 16£ for the delivery of the bike. So the total came to 60£. Definitely a steal!

2. The bike arrived and to my pleasant surprise it's in a wonderful condition...very few scratches on the frame and no dents. The white paint has faded and there is a bit of bubbling underneath the paint in the aluminum joints.

3. The Solaris Titanium came with the following components:
a. Shimano LX hubs, Mavic M232 rims and Michelin tires
b. Acera Shimano rear derailleur
c. Shimano LX front derailleu
d. rusty chain
e. Shimano deore thumb shifters hahahaha! (collectible)
f. Rock Shox Magnesium (don't know anything about them)
g. Dia Compe 986 canti lever brakes and pads
h. Dia Compe brake levers
i. Tioga Oversized headset threaded
j. Crankset, 175, triple chainring (I'm guessing it's Shimano LX or DX)
k. Stem 1" ---unmarked, looks cheap
l. Handlebar, flat --unknown brand
m. Onza bar ends ---one is scuffed
n. Seatpost Dyna-Tech
o. Wellgo plastic platform pedals.

Just need to figure out how to embed images.

bargain hunter like myself

looks great

 

[kingoffootball]

It looks in good condition.

I wish it had been bigger!

It's too small for me as well and I already have 2 bikes. Will have to get rid off it minus a few components.
