Wanted: After cheap as chips frame or battered resto project

Afternoon people,

Well i think the title states it all. After my ever so close £800 coming my way for a bike, work jacked in the idea and boom up went my cash in smoke.

So im looking for any kind soul, seller etc who needs extra space or feeling charitable who has an old frame or bike that would be suitable for a resto project. Im pretty damn skint atm, so anything around the £0-50 mark would be great. Obviously this is a long shot, but hey i thought i'd try you guys.

Ive done the ebay hunting either get out bidded or swamped in a deluge of Leader frames , unicack, or a perfrect frame based in Wigan for 10 pence that the seller wont post.

Anyway any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

ohh im based in London..live N1, work Central :)

Ahh Tomasito..have seen that but im bit of short arse at 5'10 so i think that would be little big for me

I currently have a 56 cm Raleigh road frame and i'm in the process of upgrading. If I get the one I want tomorrow on ebay you can have it for £40.

It is a rattle can job and has a number of scratches now.

@burny & twist:

I have disappointing news for your two. I didn't win my frame.

I will keep bidding though and it is bound to happen at some stage soon. I will put the frame on the forum and give you two priority if you still want it.

thanks mate I would appreciate that.

I can get you a battered cod and chips?
theyre a bit more expensive than chips though.

I have an old bill cus 531 frame you can have for a 20, probably about a 52cm. its a rattle can job too, no forks thou. got some time carbon fork u can have for pretty cheap also cane creek headset on it, bearings are well used

I may have an old Sun bike, 27 inch wheels, 10 speed ripe for conversion. Yours for free if you want to collect from NW4, its a big one tho! Belonged to a 6 foot woman.

Am away on hols at the moment, home on Saturday,let me know if you are interested?

If you're not interested in the Sun bike (twist305), then I am.... I need a big frame! (6'4")

Yeah i'd be interested in that. (if your offering it to me!)

Thanks,
Sam

Will be back in London on Saturday with the Sun. Have a van till Sunday evening with the bike in it so could drop it off somewhere around North London. Bike was given to me but I have 5 already. So dont relay need another. A bit on the large side for me too.

nice to see a bit of a 'help poor/get rid of your clatter' marketplace happening inthis thread. Though as for frames I don't need 1st dibs as Brucey sorted me with a nice BSA frame yest so all go for it.

On a side note anyone had dealing with Chapel MArket cycles in Angel? Popped in there on my way home to see if they could give soem advice on BB - well like wtf rude bastards..

1) nah m8 that frame is broken - it's not
2) humm BB is threaded you'll never get it in or need a compresion tool - trys anyway in it screws
3) frames bent m8 - nah only thing bent in here m8 is your dodgey customer service
4) Well thats gonna cast you £300+ to do up - rep right matey
5) You might as well just leave it here O.o and get a new bike - proceeds to wheel a lime green unicack past me >.<

So was i just unlucky as i can't believe small independent shops have gone this bad or is the state of play atm?

Well anyway best of luck on frames guys
