Wanted: Bike Stolen - Need Touring Frame!

Hi all.

My Dawes was stolen on Tuesday so now I'm after a replacement frame to build up for some nice long Summer rides. Please help!

A Dawes, Carlton or Holdsworth would be sweet, but anything steel, with braze ons for a rear rack and a bottle or two, in any condition so long as straight and true I'd be interested in. 55-57cm.

Thanks very much.

James.

i'll keep my eyes peeled for any frames and such ;)

no bottle holders though.
but you can get a strap on anyway.....

Dylan - cheers dude. I should buy you a beer for being so helpful and living about 30 ft from my house (I sold you that 105 headset right?). Spaghoops - No strap ons for me (I'm flattered). Love that frame but it looks like it's built for guards but no rack. Or either but not both. Am I wrong? I love it otherwise and it's the perfect size for me... black brooks and tape and bar end shifters... tempting...

was the cranks actually, but nvm i'll still have that beer ;)

Morning bump! Anything going out there?

And again. Anyone got a King of Mercia they want shot of?! Complete bikes also considered and cash waiting. Thanks.

if you are seriously thinking about the eg bates then the mercian was too small for you, no?

sorry if i missed something

Anyone got anything that's cropped up? Someone must have a tourer they want to shift? Now needed for a charity ride to Paris so all for a good cause. Thanks all.

Jimalex, this popped up on CTC this morning.

Unknown frame, looks promising and a steal at £100. In sheffield though.
