I’m looking to buy a cheap second hand frame around 53cm c-c seat tube, for use as a daily commuter so nothing too fancy required. Anything reasonable considered, as long as it’s lighter than my current ancient Falcon road frame. (to be honest, most things will be)

I’m currently checking ebay and Gumtree, but if you have something suitable squirreled away in a shed or under your bed, let me know.

Cheers.

Too heavy. It's not so nice to ride. The Raleigh is much lighter, but now it's the polo bike.

to be honest rik, if i could get another similar Raleigh, i'd build that up as the commuter.

I'm pretty sure it's going to go for a penny. If you're after a conversion and are willing to put in a little leg work to get the stem unseized then it could be for you... Sorry to pimp but I want it out of the shed and it's going in a skip otherwise...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
