FS: 58cm Bike Mielec frame, polished Alu, £50 (suitable for 1x only)

Hi all,

Commissioned this off Bike Mielec last year, and he buggered it up. Was happy to fix it all or rebuild from scratch if necessary, provided it was returned, but Brexit meant it sat in Polish customs for 6 months before being sent back to me. As a result, it's priced to sell!

Problems with it are as follows: rear spacing is for a 130mm hub, so while it has disc brake mounts, it can't fit a disc hub - it does have a calliper mount, though, so it'd only be usable for rim brakes (hilariously, this was to make fitting mudguards easier, but he also forgot the mudguard mounts!) There is also no routing for a front mech, so you'd only really be able to run this as a 1x.

It has internal cable routing along the TT for a rear brake, and along the DT for a rear mech and the non functional disc mount.

Finish was raw, and I polished it myself (the brushing was a bit rough in areas though, and I struggled to get the areas around the welds to a good finish).

Geo is based on a 58cm Bowman Palace, but with a 175mm HT rather than 185mm and a horizontal top tube.

Figured this could still make a fun build for someone, though perhaps a little bit of a niche one. Pick up from West Norwood only.

you can get 130mm disc hubs :) (pretty rare tho)

Any rear derailleur tab or do you know which one fits?

Yep, it's got a derailleur tab, but you'd need to speak to Mr Bike Mielec (Robert) to find out which one it is if you ever need a replacement!

(Edit - just realised it's not attached in the picture! It's in my tool box - took it off as I didn't want to knock/bend it while I was polishing it)

If I still lived in London's famous London I would be on my way to you right now.

Anybody want to pick this up for me? 🙏🏻

What kind of tyre mudguard clearance does this have?

I asked for clearance for 28mm with mudguards, though I reckon that would be worth testing first.
