  • That's mud on the tyres, because I ride it over playing fields every day. It will be clean.

  • Hey looks good :) Any idea on tyre clearance?

  • what's with the seat tube right under the clamp?

  • Not sure what you mean. It's where the tube is slotted.

  • Not sure. Think it'll take fatter tyres. Can send you more photos.

  • Think it's the same model of Plug some forum member describe as "gravel" on here recently. No idea if that's a real thing.

  • Ok, hma has a point. I hadn't noticed but the seat post is definitely bent around its rear facing slot. It hasn't affected the ride for the few months I've been using it (upgrading to a steamroller). No idea how serious this is but no structural frame damage is good so prepared to make a significant reduction in price. £80.

  • See close up

  • Nobody want this at £70? Not being a metallurgist, I have no idea of the likelihood of catastrophic failure and resulting highly unpleasant internal injury. Perhaps one of the many know it alls on this forum could comment

  • I relish their commentary

  • Take a pic from behind so the slot and the bulge are visible, also ensure image is of descent quality - can't see much from the last one as blurred

  • This better?

  • If someone tells me this is fucked and dangerous to ride it's going down the tip

  • I'm no expert, but are they cracks on welds on seat stays?

    Probably repairable rather than skip I wonder for someone.

  • looks as if someone's put a too small post in there and clamped it up until it didn't move any more maybe?
    i reckon you could sort that out easily with it being steel.
    i'd take it if i was close by, but i'm not.

  • The seat post moves up and down fine

  • That's the problem, looks like it moves too easily and so the seatpost collar has been overtightened, probably because the seatpost is undersized.

  • What size is the current seat post? Think Plugs normally take a 27.2

    Is the bottom of the slot cracked? Could you remove the seat post and collar and take a couple pics of the top of the seat tube - just trying to assess damage etc.

  • It's been tightened with no seatpost in or a very too small seatpost at some point.
    It's quite easily repairable, not ready for the skip yet

  • Thanks. Helpful responses.

    I won't be repairing this myself. Anyone who wants it, make me an offer

  • Good price despite the slight damage. GLWS

  • Can you deliver to Hackney ?

  • From Camden?? No. You're welcome to come take a look.
