Withdrawn

Bought this at a jumble sale in 2007, rode for about 6mo and to my shame split it out & has been in dry storage ever since. Was resprayed before I bought it, flam red with gold lug lining. Has round blade forks with big rake & super thin pencil stays, 120mm rear spacing, 27.2mm seatpost etc. Serial number dates it to 1950/51. Size-wise, I make it just under 24" seat tube & 23.5" top tube as per photos (Carpenter apparently did sizes to the 1/4" so maybe it's 23 3/4" x 23 1/4"?). I haven't ridden it in 10yrs, but I remember it being very lightweight for the size & riding quite springy / comfy (I got just cold feet about trashing it riding it around town & locking it up etc).

The bad - already had the tiny top tube ding before I got it, has lost a tiny bit of paint from being built up and from not doing up my track nuts tight enough one time (but nothing that would really be visible when built).

Anyway, would keep it but it's not been built or ridden in years & I need the space, so it's gotta go!

Includes headset, GB spearpoint stem & Maes bars.

Removed from sale, going to attempt to sell elsewhere!

Nice and that stem is worth few £ on its own, so good price too. GLWS

price drop bump £125

make that £100?

A very nice old frame! Looks like 73 deg head, 71 deg seat tube. You don't see that now!

What height are you?

Would you post or meet central or SW?

Too cheap!! Il buy for 100 any day.. get a box please :)

I'm 6'3" but it's not huge on me. Standover with 700c wheels is about 86cm?
I'm hoping to avoid time/hassle/risk/etc of posting, but could potentially meet somewhere central?

just borrowed some wheels for a quick measure, and yes indeed, as far as my phone inclinometer app can tell, you're bang on with 73° headtube & 71° seattube!
