Streamlining my bike collection so getting rid of a few old projects.

Collection from Bermondsey. For dimensions please see pics.

Pics: https://500px.com/pack-bobb

First up: Orange Gringo hardtail mtb/tourer frame w/ CK headset - £70/£40 for frame and £35 for headset

I built it up and mountain biked a bit around Swinley/Epping forest but it's a really versatile frame and could equally be used as a tourer/commuter. Deore groups in pics is also up for sale at £65.

Next: Blue 531 SS/tourer with rear wheel and Stronglight headset - £80 NOW £50

It's a Geoffrey Butler frame I bought and built up for my girlfriend about 3 years ago. We had it resprayed at Armourtex in a deep blue sparkle of which the sparkle has started to fade but is nonetheless pretty nice. Unfortunately the BB shell is knackered, I put a threadless BB in there about 2 years ago which has held tight since and comes with the frame. The rear wheel is a Sturmey Archer hub on a Halo Aeroworrior rim and has been dished and the hub realigned to give a good chainline with the BB. See pic for clearance with 28c tyre.

And then: Cheap, smallish MTB frame with wheels - Sold

Last price drops before eBay!

Also this is still available for £60 (frame and h/s only):

I think the frame is 531, it was a road frame but someone had track ends brazed on. A few small scrapes and dents here and there but a decent frame, I think the forks are a bit bent but I imagine the buyer with scrap those anyway. It's powder coated but I decided to sprinkle glitter over and rattle canned a gloss over the top for an NJS-esque sparkle. The gloss is pealing and you could probably get it all off with relative ease.

The frame does have two slightly more fundamental problems. I had to shim the headset out with a bit of coke can to get it tight, it's worked fine since but something to be aware of. Also the BB threads are a little bit worn and began to slip when I tried to fit a Hollowtech ii BB but worked fine with a normal square taper due to the extra threads.
