Bike stolen. Starting from scratch. 58cm frame required.

Afternoon all.

Some twat stole my bike. My beautiful batavus....gone. It's been a month now and i have accepted that the Mancunian gods will not return it to me. I've checked all the usual sites and it's not surfaced at all.

So....i need a cheap as chips frame. 58cm ideally. Can be a cm either side i suppose.

Not too bothered by the condition as i have access to a spray booth so i can sort out any cosmetics, but it has to be solid. 531 as a minimum i guess. Anothe columbus frame would be nice. Will also go modern or retro once more.

So....what do you have.

Phil.

Hi Phil

Sorry to hear about your loss. I have a spare 56cm bike which might be too low-end for you.

I have a complete Motobecane Mirage 18 going spare. Light-ish 2040 tubing (equivalent to Reynolds 501) and Shimano Adamas parts.

£99 takes the full bike home

Hi Vince,

Your commiseratioms are appreciated. And yeah, i'm lookimg for a 531 frame as a minimum. Good price for a complete bike though.

still have this - another Dutch frame, cheap as chips:

Ive got a condor acciaio frame for sale. Probably not what you're after, but worth an offer.

Hey Phil,

I saw you modified your ad to a 58cm frameset.

Now I have something better in that size... Hopefully it'll suit.

Columbus frameset with a clover on the BB shell and Campagnolo dropouts. No serial number that I could see.
I have asked around and it is either a Colner, a Cornelo or a Guerciotti.

All the parts are high end but I plan on selling them on eBay so the frameset is going spare (Simplex seatpost, Dura-Ace FD and brakeset, Gipiemme Chainset, C-Record hubs, Huret Titanium RD, Supercorsa saddle, Cinelli bars & stem, OMAS headset, Galli pedals, Mavic BB)

Here it is in its fully glory:

Since you're keeping the budget low, I'd be after £80 for the frameset and a bit more if you wanted to keep some parts.

I just won De Rosa Vision 57cm frameset (frame, carbon fork, headset) but I just realised it's a surplus for me. Im planning to do what I never did before - dont pay for it. But if you are interested I can forward it to you.
