Bought this from the guy that had it made for him. He said he rode it lightly and them got a more 26" tourer instead.

£200 (collection ONLY from SE London) - pics if real interest

Sounds blommin rad. Get some photos up!

edit: beaten to it

Assume it used long drop caliper brakes? What's the rear spacing?

Imagine so yes, but not too long.

135 rear.

So curious! Who was it built for and what were their 'dimensions'? (inside leg, height if pos)

Afraid I am not sure - didnt get that from the guy. When I met him he looked about 5"9/10... didnt get to check his inside leg...

But BJ might have that info - never thought to ask - just thought it could make it work for me.

Undibs - sorry

undibs- sorry - @FredTC yours.

2nd dibs

didnt get to check his inside leg...
