GONE: carbon frame/fork + extras for OH GOD WHAT NOW? project

I believe that this frame has had a very spotted forum history. Offered to the next rube who thinks they can do something with it! Collect in Tooting.

WHAT:
57 square Ambrosio Stelvio monostay frame - alu/carbon with mucked about dropouts.
Carbon fork 1” alu steerer.
short china carbon seatpost.
SMP carbon copy (lol) that has been sanded.

BUT:
1) The grub screws for the seatpost are stuck. Option to drill them out or angle grind and reshape the aluminium casting (and use a collar).
2) The dropouts have been hacksawed but you can get a wheel in straight and, after locating a mech hanger I reckon fashioning a plate for the NDS dropout will make any problems there go away.

The frame is solid and wear is all to the aluminium (wheel rub because dropouts were nadgered I guess).
My plan was to fill and rattlecan and ride as a single speed carbon fibred eyesore for lols but life. too. short. and I got a sweet Cannondale beater for that purpose last month, instead. So this must go.

What’s the head tube length?

Dibs pending measurements

14.5cms

edit fork steerer has 21cms

Can throw in bits and bobs (a collar that would fit after reshaping) plus removed downtube shifter lugs. Bottom bracket &c

This must be on about the 4th or 5th forum owner by now. Glad to see it still knocking about and still offered for free.
Not sure if I had this one at some point too or whether I'm just getting mixed up. I certainly had another beater one about 5 years ago that also came and went for free on here. Good bikes

ooh nice one ^
I would have stuck with it, but I’m relocating and have the ‘dale as a much quicker-to-tarmac build besides. There’s still lots to like about this one (as well as much gnashing/wtf-ing: Would really like to ask the LFGSSer who got the hacksaw out “what the hell were you thinking?”).

Also have a if-beaters-had-beaters level of Shimano WH-535 rear to throw in too.

Sadly too short for me

Cheers anyway and thank you for the bump.

Yeah pretty sure you had this at some point 🤔 I forgot about the yellow one though.

Edit* *zoom... *enhance... that’s the glitter nail polish stem you made!

what are the chances other bolt on dropouts would, er, bolt on? i had some on my 2011(?) Ridley that look similar.

If i was in collecting radius i would be all over this, could make such a fun and cool project...

best of luck

alas the dropouts bolt to the seat stays, but are bonded to the chain stays. I possibly didn’t make clear up there … the driveside is ‘fixed’ for alignment because I located a derailleur hanger. On the NDS, I was going to modify a derailleur hanger plate and bolt it on. I started working the steel, but life took over and never got to finish it. Similarly, bought an angle grinder disc suitable for cutting a thin line down the seat lug, but haven’t had the time to set up a jig to do the work (which would be hours of prep, seconds of cutting).

willing to travel within reason! I wore the frame and cycled back to SW17 when I collected it…

omg!

Glad to see this still knocking about.

GONE! Threw in a carbon-wrapped ITM stem that weighs as much as the frame and that WH-535 wheel. Hope to see this come around again in my lifetime.

Fingers crossed, thanks again🤞
