Wanted: Cheapish steel frame 59

hi, having trouble finding a whole bike so thinking of getting a frame and trying not to lose the plot when buying bits to build it up. Trying to make a hack / commuter so nothing fancy. Have a couple of ali frames so want a steel one as it's been a while and i can't really remember if it 'is real'.

Needs to be a 59 or there about and lugs would be nice. Paint not important as i'll probably strip it.

cheers all,

I've got an old 531 Claud butler about that size going, its virtually complete all it needs are brake cables (if you want brakes) and a fixed sprocket... the rear wheel will need redishing and they're decent sealed bearing 36h hubs too by SunTour.

How's this? Carlton Corsair tourer - 10 speed. 27" wheels.

Bought off Ebay about 6 months ago with a view to refurb. No time and now need to sell on to make room for a road bike.

I'd say 8.5/10 condition.

Size is 60cm ctt - seat tube. 57cm ctc top tube. 531 tubes and lugged & lined.

Have just recabled this evening and having taken it around the block, it's running super sweet.

Awful pic attached - if interested let me know and I'll take some more.

£170 - covers my costs and no more.

Located in SW11 for test runs and inspections.

Ta,

Col.

Raleigh super vitus, not in great condition structurally fine but looks kinda bad, although the chrome forks have brushed up pretty nice with some rust remover. £20 .

Oh yeah its like a 59 or a 60

Comes with headset and stem although the headset could do with a changing or regreasing or something.
