Carrera 56cm square road frames (late 80's)

Not much info, but a late 80's race frames (it got the race tag on the top tube near head tube).

The frame and fork is sound (as in no dent), paintjob is OK, lots of flaked/chipped paint, internal cable routing (sleeved), 130mm spacing, 73/73 head/seat tube angle, 56 c-t-c top tube and down tube, it's a nice frames and ride well.

Italian threaded BB, currently got Shimano square taper, headset is needle bearing, it work fine, but worth replacing.

Come with Thomson 26.8mm, I suspect it suppose to take 27mm.

Definitely take 28mm with modern brakes.

£120 ONO

Nice that.

Hi there

Just seen this - looks mighty fine! I have to admit I know nothing about single speeds as I trained for road racing as a kid...now being an old git I absolutely wouldn't be looking to race anything ever again, but I take it there wouldn't be any problems putting it back to an early / mid 90s front n' rear mech racer? and is it definitely 56 top and down? (I only ask as I bought my first decent bike in 30 years off a lovely bloke recently, only to discover after a 400 round trip that it was actually quite a bit smaller than advertised!)

Anyway, how do you feel about £105?

Kind regards, S

I reckon a normal groupset will work 100%, I had modern campagnolo 10 speed on it, as well as old 8 speed Dura Ace.

Hi! As I've just joined the forum I'm worried my messages aren't getting to you...cool with paying £120 if still available? (think the frame is my ideal size :)

Ps. Happy to do a socially distanced collection naturally / am in a social bubble with my parents (good for health, not great for fun obviously!)

Cheers, S

Interested if this is still available, sent PM

Is this available?
