WTD: New frame to replace Whyte Portobello

Posted on
  • Hey team!
    My bike has jsut been vandalised by some idiot, it was locked outside and when I got back the frame had been twisted in to a knot. (see picture). When i got back it was upside-down wrapped around the D-Lock
    All of the parts are in perfect working order and so I was hoping juut to transfer them over to a new frame.

    It was this bike - https://www.flatharrys.cc/bikes/hybrid-b­ikes/2018-whyte-portobello-granite__2676­

    Does anyone have an old frame knocking about that they recon would fit these componets?

    Thank you in advance!

  • so cunty. I hope you find something suitable

  • Who would do that? These criminals should be staked out on ant hills!

  • I hope the scum that did that get what's coming to them and soon!

  • I don't have a frame but my mate is selling his near new trek Duel sport 3 size M Putney based only bought this spring moving onto gravel bike.

  • Damn that heavy. Any chance it was the fence owner?

  • Probably a thief twisting the bike around - trying to pop / lever the u-lock open. Frame went before the lock did

  • thank you everyone for your kind words!

    thanks @billygoat28 but i want to try find frame first just as I still have all the parts.

    Seems weird to me that a 'theif' would do that much damage without even taking my bike lights! but hey ho.

  • Your bits should fit on this:

    You'd need a different fork (or some crazy headset adapter) and the frame may be too small for you.

  • Thats no problem .you do get some people who are strange .good luck with bike build. By the way sometimes planetx do some clearance bike frames.
