Iv just read this thread and I'm personally shocked, when I bought the frame I clearly was mis informed about the defects, my apologies if it seems as though im trying to be a rip off merchant, genuinly not my aim whatsoever.
My Mrs has been riding this frame without any problems for half a year, none of the issues in the thread link above have jeopardised the ride quality of the frame.
Just to make it clear I did not buy this frame from the original owner or off the forum, just from a mate who wanted to shift it, clearly Iv been had, so In that case I shall lower the price as it still stands I have no use for the frame as its to big my other half.
Would be nice to keep it within the forum and a frame builder renovate it and bring it back to its full potential.

I want too but gf would kill me and getting it fixed and painted is a pain.
Also would like to point out that it could be a different frame, the one in the other thread has a shim thing around where the chip is on the toptube and different forks, possibly removed I guess but who knows.
-
That's a good point, I missed that detail, there are no shims being used on this frame, but again I don't want to dig a grave for myself.
As I said my mrs has ridden the frame for 6 months with no problems so essentially If it was to fall apart it would have in the first couple of months. -
When I bought it the previous owner hadn't made me aware of any repairs done to the frame, when I went back and asked if they had anything done to it, he then informed me of the repairs that had taken place on the chain stays. This was only after I read the supposed 'original' sales thread for the Lo pro highlighting the crack on the chain stay.

Bill Nickson Lo Pro F+F

So my Mrs has grown a little less fond of her Lo Pro due to it being a tad to big, hence why it is up for sale. The specs are as follows.
FRAME:
•55cm Bill Nickson Lo Pro
•120mm spacing on the rear and 110mm on the 650c forks.
•Large chip on the toptube due to a crash by which the bars swung around and chipped away at the frame. Iv checked with numerous bike shops, this does not jeopardise the safety of the frame. Perfect to ride.
• A couple minor chips on the Downtube and chain stays, expected as this bike was used regularly by my mrs.
All the major chips are pictured below none the less. As they say honesty is the best policy.
• Comes with a brand new bb, put in days ago and not yet ridden.
•Headset also included.
•And as a show of good favour I'll throw in the 650c wheel when the frame is bought. I'm not sure of the hub or rim brand but the bearings are good and the wheels true.
Pick up in central or Stockwell as that's where it's located.
Other destinations debatable.
Usual dibs followed by PM's
PRICE: £120 > £100 > £90
