My bro's Raleigh has developed cracks in the right chainstay and headtube. It needs replacing and the plan is to build a bombproof but decent-looking single speed conversion. It needs to be able to handle a heavily loaded rack - hence the eyelets requirement.

Other preferences:
- 531 or Columbus SLX tubing
- Tight(ish) clearances with 700c wheels
- Paintwork in need of restoration, as it'll probably get resprayed
- Price - anything up to £150

I've got a 58cm 531 frame from a Falcon Strada in good nick - looking for £130 with Tange Levin headset and original BB.

I can get some pics this weekend if 58cm isn't too small?

Bike's in Cambridge, as well by the way. Currently a full rat/beater build so there's plenty more I can provide parts-wise should the need arise.

Sounds like a decent frame but sadly I think 58cm is a bit small. The frame it's replacing is a 58cm, but has a lot of seatpost sticking out the top.

I'm looking for exactly the same thing. Did you have any luck finding what you wanted? Any frames you could recommend from your search?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
