ed. Resolved - he decided to use the frame he already has instead of looking for another one.
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a frame for a friend of mine. He wants to build his own frame, or more specifically, he wants to cut up an old frame and insert wooden tubes (toptube, seattube and downtube). It's not just any wood but he fabricates the wooden tubes from layers of different types of wood, reinforced with several layers of carbonfiber. I won't go into all the details since this is not the subject of this thread but if there's interest, I'll ask him if he wants to open a CP thread on here.
He already has a donor frame for the project and initially, he wanted to get the fork and rear-triangle chromed. Since the latter turned out to be more costly than expected, he asked me to keep an eye out for an alternative donor frame.
•The frame size should be somewhere around 56/57 with the top tube between 55/57.
•The frame should have chromed forks, seat - and chainstays.
•The frame can be brocken/cracked/ dented/ rusted on any of the tubes that will be replaced (tt, st, dt). However, the headtube, the lugs and the rear triangle must be in sound condition since they won't be replaced.
• must be shipped to Germany
•Tubing doesn't matter.
•Colour doesn't matter.
•Preferably cheap < 100€
Let's see what you got to offer!
Looking forward to your offers, thanks in advance!
