Yeah I hear you. Build looks great it's a shame if it doesn't fit.
Can be difficult to find frames big enough for our height. I'll keep an eye out for anything you're letting go. -

Sure no problem. I am commencing a clear out in a couple of weeks which will probably involve this frameset and a couple of other 64 cm bikes which I may split up the components from if there is separate demand.

So today was the day for a quick spin, and it didn’t disappoint. The bike was a joy to ride. My first time on 165mm cranks and combined with a 47x18 gearing made it quite responsive. I even took it into my lbs to show it off...

The bike is as pretty as a picture and if I was a bit younger I would keep it. Unfortunately I think the drop to the bars will take its toll on me if used regularly.
I’m putting together a mega sales thread starting tomorrow as I’ve decided to bite the bullet and go for a custom built frame. To fund it this frameset,a couple of other bikes and spares will be up for grabs. I need stuff gone so I thought £250 plus fees and postage for this frameset including the Campagnolo headset. More details tomorrow.

I can't see on my phone. Is it drilled for brakes?

Sorry Rolling it isn’t. Dia compe track brakes would need to be used

I have a spare, for round-blade forks. If needed.
Nice frame and good price @Yellow_Peril GLWS
Usually a 63 or 64. I think the problem here will be the reduced stack height with the top tube topping out around 57.5/58cm. I suspect the drop from seat height to bar will aggravate an old back issue. I could get a longer quill but it would look naff and the frame deserves better than that.
