looking for a 61cm frame

Posted on
  • Hi,

    I was car-doored the other day and while I'm fine, my bike is not. I had a rather lovely custom frame (British built - Edison, 61 cm seat post ) but it is sadly no more.

    I'm looking for something BIG. I'm 6'5'' tall and have found it hard to find frames big enough for me in the past.

    Can someone out there help? My budget stretches to about £200, but could go higher if something nice turns up.

    best wishes and cheers for the help,

  • Hi Rich,

    I have a black 62cm surly cross check frames looking to off load for about that price. It's in great condition, couple of years old.

    Child number three on the way means I am down sizing my fleet.

    Any good?

  • Can I ask what the rear dropout spacing is on the Ken James? I need it to be 120 to use my bits.

  • If richmoore passes on your Ken James I'd be interested pending pics and a few questions.

  • Sure will let you know

  • Hi Rich,

    I've got a couple of 61cm frames hanging around. I don't have the desire/funds at present to build them up and besides I've enough bikes.
    1) Mid 80s Bob Jackson 531 SL, 57cm top tube. 126mm across the back. Comes with a headset (unbranded - but quality) The frame is in top quality condition. I paid £200 quid so ideally I'd like to break even.
    2) Tokyo fixed frame. This one has track ends and is spaced 120 across the back. I fitted a stronglight headset. The frame is brand new and has been dry stored for a year after I purchased it from Kinoko's closing down sale.
    A bit of an impulse buy really. I think £230 is a fair price. I won't be significantly out of pocket then.
    PM if interested and I'll try and get photos to you although, that will really test my skills.

  • sadly not...someone's called dibs on the bigger of the two and the smaller is going to be too small for me :(

  • Thanks Ian,

    Sadly I think those are both a bit out of my budget. I've also reaslised that it's probably best that I don't get something too nice. I'm going to need to leave it out in the rain and stuff.
