Wanted large steel frame

Found that annoying rattle this morning was one of my seat stays broken away from the seat tube. Anyone got a suitable frame for sale cheap, ideally:

23-25" frame (I'm a good 6'4" at 34.5" inside leg, so anything suitable for that kinda size)
Must be steel
With a fork would be nice
110-130 rear spacing (I have hub spacers :))

Must be nice and solid and preferably not a boat anchor (531 would be nice), something a bit nice would be appreciated (old holdsworth cyclone etc)

I'm in Guildford and would rather not have to travel all way into London but I can if its the right bike. I have my eye on a couple of things on fleabay.

I'm looking at spending £50-75.

bout to say there are some beauties on the bay atm.

I suppose you are gonna bid on that 25" Harry Hall 531c then? DAmmit!!!!
But seriously folks I only punted for a £50 bargain - if you NEED it then whisper me and I won't keep bidding! Argh! Bid now! ugh.. I feel used.

why dont you just fix it?

damn disposable culture

^ good point! I've got a soldering iron, and some old coke cans, wire, and epoxy resin. :-P
Actually, a shop quote (less respray) could be much less than what you want to invest in a new frame.

Provenrad, yep that is on my list with about 3 others (all more local though). I MAY bid on the Harry Hall, my ebay user is bill_abong so we don't end up bidding each other up!!

jv I probably will fix it in time, I don't have access to a brazing set up at the moment so it won't get done for a couple of weeks (Did think about trying to MIG it, but it would be ugly) and I need something to commute to work on (could use my rockhopper but it has tractor tyres and is no fun).

sigh yep, I am after a nice steel frame as well - and I am about the same height as you. Damn.

I won't bid on the Harry Hill though, 'cos you saw it first and I'm nice like that.

Anyone got *two * nice-ish steel frames that they want to sell?

Naah - it's all good Hutch - I've whispered BillB my max bid (53lbs). It will definately go above that!
Bid away - I get greedy when I see large frames. If I needed it I'd add another 20 quid, but I'm tight. ;-)

Got 'im :)

thank you kindly gents :)

for anyone still looking these also took my fancy:

Nice one! BARGAIN!!! 54 quid?! sheet... I am jealous.

Ahhh.. I just realised you would have paid £50 if it wasn't for me... Sorry.
Friends?

And Hutch "You are a true gentleman."

So what were the other ones you were watching, BillB?

Sorry Edited my post above to show the other two on my watch list:

The icing on the cake will be if a mate of mine who is driving up to manchester on saturday morning to pick up a slab of granite can collect it while he's there!!

I'll still be your friend Provenrad, I did consider letting you win it then asking you if I could buy it straight off you :) but though I better put a bit in cos surely it won't go for that, so I dropped £55 then £60 worrying that someone else must have seen it!

There is a big, 24", Claud Butler for sale on the ACF site if you are still looking.

Nope, I'm sorted thanks, a mate is collecting that Harry Hall on Saturday and if I can find a suitable headset I'll build it up over the weekend :)

Well, I've got the Harry Hall, its in better condition than the photos suggested, nice metallic blue with red detailing, couple of little scratches that could do with a touch up if I manage to find a good colour match. £15 for a shumano 105 headset which is now fitted, got my old bars on and the wheels in place, I just need to:
swap the BB from my old frame (chainline is a bit off with the supplied BB and there is some play in it)
get the cranks + chain on
cut down and flip my drops for that bull horn look
drill the back of the fork to get the brake to bolt on
find a 27.2 seatpost (a frined has a carbon one with the bottom 1/4 broken and I only need a short post)

so hopefully I'll have some pics up tomorrow sometime :)

EDIT: Good size too, the standover leaves just the perfect ammount of conker clearance :)
