Bare in mind Phil, you probably paid whatever you paid for it in good faith, so you have also potentially lost out on the original purchase...

It was inherited from an uncle I hadn't seen for over 30 years, however the money will contribute to the costs of the funeral because he didn't have much money.

As long as you have described the frame accurately to your knowledge, I will consider that any old, and especially used, frame is "sold as seen".

When you buy a used, old frame, you have to expect all type of unforeseen problems that are difficult to detect even on close inspection and only come up once you start to taking apart or building the frame: a BB that has become "welded" to the frame, a wrongly installed headset which has damaged headtube, a hardly visible dent in the forks, etc...

If you don't want to take risk, just buy a NOS frame...

I'll pay £20 for the brake calipers, if they're going spare.

I have had a PM from the buyer, he will accept £20 refund and keep the bike as it is.

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

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

```

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.
