FREE - 20" Town/Hybrid frame (damaged forks)
This is from the bike I was riding back in September when I fell down a movement joint in the road.
I took the frame to be checked at Walthamstow Cycles and whilst the frame itself is fine and still aligned, the forks are twisted and need to be replaced. I have since removed the wheels, rack, and saddle - it has been sitting in the back garden and so is a little more weather-worn than shown. The full cockpit, cranks and brakes will be included.
Whilst I don't want to ride this frame again, I'd feel wasteful taking it to the tip. Would anyone be interested in giving it a home?
The frame is taken from a 20" hawk cycles 'manhattan' 1x6 speed that my dad never used - so it's nothing particularly special I'm afraid. It was good fun and comfortable to ride until I skewered myself on it. If anyone is keen to restore it to it's previous 1x6 speed glory you can also have the original wheelset for free too (the rear derailleur and shifter are long gone though I'm afraid).
I am 6'2 with a long body and short legs and the size suited me fine - I can measure it up if anyone needs me to be more specific.
Collection from Leyton Midland until I move on 19 March, I'll be Clapton-based beyond that.
