Wanted: 57~58cm (ctc) classic 1980s steel road frame with SHORT toptube (53~55cm)

Wanted: 57~58cm (ctc) classic 1980s steel road frame with SHORT toptube (53~55cm), with nice tubing (ideally Columbus SL/SLX or Reynolds 531 or similar)

PM me please or send a mail to magnusjetski@gmail.com
Cheers

Could be hard to find one with these measures, no? I believe only tailor made frames have this kind of disproportionate measure. A square 57 with a 90 mm stem?

I had a Rob Telfer frame just like that, which was unfortunately stolen. Actually these "T-Rex" frames appear from time to time. Most extreme that I own is a 53x60,5cm

Holy crap, 53x60... ;)

Good luck!

Hi I have got an Arthur Caygill Columbus SLX seat tube 58cm centre to top and top tube 56cm centre to centre let me if it is of any use and I'll post pictures and more details.

Yes, pictures would be great!

I have a very clean Raleigh 853 56 CM not sure of the top tube length but I can measure? Why not a shorter Stem?

Hi, I have to be more precise: I am really not looking for a square (like 57x57 ctc/ctc) frame or something close to square, the top tube must be clearly at least 2-4 cm (ctc) shorter, i.e something like 54-55cm ctc top tube and 57-58cm ctc seat tube (and at least 15,5cm steerer tube).
My girlfriend had such a frame (the Rob Telfer, combined with a 50mm stem!) and it was absolutely perfect for her as a geometry to be used in urban traffic. As said, unfortunately it was stolen.

BUMP - still haven't found anything
