Wanted: Cyclocross frame

Hello all,
Im toying with the idea of venturing into Cyclocross. Im looking for a frameset somewhere around the 56cm mark. I think id actually prefer steel but ill happily have a look at any alloy ones. I dont care what condition the paint is in as long as it is structurally sound
I havent got a big budget either

thanks

I've got a 57cm cyclocross Alan/Guerciotti frame, but missing forks :(
let me know if you're interested.

possibly. any chance of a photo / price? Ill need to look around to see how much i can find forks for. thanks

I paid £50 for it, so I'll pass that onto you (might go down as little as £40).

Finding the exact forks won't be easy, but if you are not picky as I am there'll be hopefully plenty of cyclocross forks around.

Regarding the soldering of the headtube, is perfectly fine. I got the frame from London Bike Kitchen and they said it was safe, then I found the original owner sold it here on the forum stating he had it fixed and rode it for two years with no issues.
Check his original thread:

I also sent pictures to AlAn and got a response from "Al" himself stating the cracks on those lugs are perfectly safe as there's more to hold the frame anyway.
The response, in Italian, is here:

"Buongiorno,
purtroppo non c'è più alcuna possibilità di effettuare delle riparazioni su questi vecchi telai Alan.
Dalla foto la crepa è molto profonda ma, considerando che con la congiunzione superiore, il tubo sterzo e il cannotto forcella fanno tenuta , serrati dalla serie sterzo, per noi non dovrebbero esserci problemi di improvvisi cedimenti del telaio.
Ovviamente non possiamo garantire questo al 100% considerando l'età dei materiali.

Saluti
Alberto Falconi / Alan bikes"

as I reported on my sale thread:

I am trying to build it up as it a shame to have it hanging and will do if prefer, understandably, to go for something else:

Hello,
Thanks for the offer of the frame. Im going to decline the alan annoyingly as its a well nice frame, i especially like the engraved lugs. It would have looked lovely resprayed a burnt orange colour with those lugs. My worry is that as its a bonded frame, with a repair to the head tube, and i fully intent thrashing it down some forest tracks, the thing might give and teeth will be lost.

:) eheh hopefully I won't loose any teeth when (when!!) I'll build it up.

What is your budget?

I am thinking of selling my cx bike (2012 CAADX, 56cm, Tiagra originally but running 1x10 105 drivetrain now) because I don't actually use it much.
