  • So I realised I've pretty much got a full bikes worth of parts now so rather than trying to sell a load of small parts I'd be better off trying to find a frame to do up as a full bike.

    Got this off eBay for £40 posted to my very helpful uncle up north who brought it down to Dublin yesterday. I think the seller has sold this frame 3 times, the first two times to himself. Looking at his feedback the account who bought it the first two times was the same, and it had the exact same photos and description. The third time there were slightly different pictures and measurements in the description. I think he was trying to raise the price in the end and got it wrong. No one else bid on it this time though. £20 and £20 postage isn't bad. It looks in better condition than the courier comp and has rear pannier eyelets on the seat stay which is handy.

    I'm torn now though on

    1. Which bike to put the nice parts on.
    2. What I should do with the second bike, sell it or keep it as a beater commuter that I can lock up anywhere and not really worry about and lend as a light tourer with just a front rack if any of my (tallish) friends want to do a short tour with me.
