  • I'm looking for a small road bike or frameset to fit someone 5'1". If you have anything, please let me know.

    Thanks!

  • PM ed you

  • I have a couple of vintage step through frames - are you looking for modern or vintage?

    I have a couple of vintage projects in the pipeline.

    Happy to sell as is or do up.

  • Hey Vince. If the OP isn't interested, I may be in the MBK...price for frame and forks?
    Cheers

  • @Wonkz

    The MBK Chrono in 49cm (the smallest they made), Columbus Thron steel with chrome forks

    Measurements are 49cm CTC for the seat tube, 53cm CTC for the top tube.

    I have a Campagnolo 2x8 speed groupset I was going to fit to the bike, along with an ahead stem adapter to use a modern stem.

    I would normally sell for about £250 complete with new tyres / cables / tape but happy to sell whatever you are after for a price you are happy with.

    I would take £90 for the frameset including headset, stem, bottom bracket, downtube adjusters and seatpost.

    I have rounded the quill stem bolt so it will need to be drilled out.

    Let me know if you are interested!

    89mm for the headtube
    126mm for the steerer length
    Seatpost is standard 27.2mm
    515mm seat tube CTT (490mm CTC)

  • Thank you for the reply and info Sir! 53 cm is a tad too long for my tiny torso. I've got a couple of frames more suitable I'm looking at, however if these don't work out and you still have it in a couple of weeks I'll be in touch. Would be looking at just frame and forks.
    Cheers!

  • 53 cm is a tad too long for my tiny torso.

    The issue with smaller top tubes is top overlap on 700c wheels.

    You might be better off with a frame that takes 650c wheels - loads on eBay at very low prices

  • 650c? How very dare you! Toe overlap is something I've grown up with and accept as 'normal'. I agree though 650's make a lot of sense for small peeps. I ain't THAT titchy, though!
