Wanted: Absolute beater

hello all im looking for a beater for my first restoration. some thing that now looks like shit but with time and effort could be nice. largeish would be preferred but beggars cant be choosers. i'm willing to make a trade of monetary units or beers, your choice.

cheers

There's one in Brixton.

haha

hmm not sure i want to be paying for it for the rest of my life

your avatar is a beater

frame or full bike? I have an old raleigh europa frame.. The copy of the old Ti team issue. No fancy tubing (pretty heavy) but has some nice Nervex Lugs. Has an unbranded BB and headset that run just fine. PM me if you want, sounds like you are after something a bit more classic though! Here it is anyway...

haha thats almost exactly the first frame i had. thanks but no thanks and yeah the frame weighs about 9 kilos

lol, does the job though... found myself growing strangely fond of it! Sure you will find something though, keep checking ebay. Have you seen this? You might just pick it up on the cheap, would make a real beauty!

I might have somethign you looking for.
However, it has already been converted to fixed.
If you are still interested I could take some pics.
It is basically a 1970's Falcon frame (Reynolds 531).
27 wheels, rear Formula hub double fixed.
