WTB: 57cm+ Audax for 6ft commuting and touring

My beloved fixie needs a lot of work. I'm wondering if I'm too old. I use it to run around and across London . Occasionally I go on bike camping trips and borrow a friend's road bike - i do a horrible botch job with a carradice for my sleeping bag.

Does anyone have an audax or tourer that would also be up for sprints across London?

I have a 60cm Dawes Galaxy frame & forks here. In Oxford but can post.

Would this work? I used it for the above :)

Do you fancy a vintage steel , my mate is selling his Eddy merckx professional size is a 56 with camoagnolo pantaza with zondo wheels . His after £950 . frame was restored .new groupset and new Finishing kit and new wheels were used for this build. max is around 500 miles since built.

Sorry for silence - bike shop was dithering and dallying but have rescued my fixie. It's good for another year or two. Thanks for suggestions though!

Ok fixie now officially dead so restarting this thread. What's out there?

57.5 Dawes Galaxy?

Looks beaut! Pm'ed

Lost to Lt's eBay so back on the market

I'm gonna piggy bag on this as well if that's alright (will yield dibs). Would love an older reynolds frame or complete build with canti bosses and space for 35+ tires. 57/58 cm. "Vintage" cyclocross, tourer, and the like.

Piggy bag away Puul!

Two hungry buyers for some old school steel. Reynolds Dawes Thorn Ribble Fratello Roubaix that sort of thing.

Would this work for you?

59cm seat tube 58cm top tube.

Hartfield of Blackburn (dont know the builder), has 631 sticker on but cont confirm if this is correct. 1” steerer, 2 sets bottle bosses, pump peg on stay, canti & rear rack bosses.

Rear dropouts are long with adjusters and take 135mm hub. Clearance wise very generous with 28s & guards.

Powder coated red with a few chips here & there but no rust.

I bought this on eBay about 12 years ago, not ridden much as it’s a bit small for me.

£75 posted.

I think probably a wee bit too large for me if that's 59 cm C to C. I could probably make it work, but I think I'll hold out for a 57/58. Thanks though.

I’ve had another measure and it’s 58cm c to c with a 57cm c t c top tube.

I have a Thorn Audax mk3 frame spare (new) in 55M size, this has 565mm top tube,if that might suit you (either)
