For Sale: Couple of cheap French frames

BOTH SOLD

Got a couple of cheap(ish) frames on the go.

1. Motobecane Sprint - £35 posted from NL - SOLD

2. Gitane Interclub - £70 or £60 collected from Kent** SOLD

**I can take more pictures of it in it's current state if you wish.

Quite sure this is a 58cm I can check and give top tube to if you're interested.

I'm really debating whether to sell this as it was a project for myself, although now it is one of many anyway. I got the frame from wired99 had it powder coated and thats when the problems started. The pc job was really crap and as well as coating the bb threads they generally just done a crap job. So whilst I sit for hours on end polishing bits to go on it I look over at the lumpy powder coat job and wonder if its worth it.

I brought new Gitane stickers for it but the pc is so lumpy that it just looks like there is loads of air bubbles under it.

I've just fallen out of love with this frame despite the sexy dropouts. It owes me alot in time and money. Price is for: Gitane interclub freshly, though poorly, powder coated gloss black, stock headset, threadless bb new and unused and Gitane stickers which will probably be removed anyway.

No offers on this I can still build a nice bike out of it just not the beauty that I had envisioned....may be inclined to change my mind about selling it!

Is that Motobecane £35 including postage? I'd be very keen on it if it is!

No, I was looking forward to seeing 'Project Bumblebee' in all it's glory. I hope this frame isn't destined to be one of those passed around without ever getting built. It does have incredibly sexy dropouts! Good luck with the sale mate.

I know I was so keen on getting it done it's just that orange peel finish on the powder coating has really put a dampener on the project. I've probably got enough parts to knock it together as a bike but really I just want to move it on. In honesty it will still build up nicely obviously the powder coating is nice and glossy and will last the test of time and as you say those dropouts are just awesome plus the chrome forks.....awe I may keep it after all!

Glasso yes thats £35 posted from NL.

Is the Moto for 700c or 27's? And does that include BB/headset?

Somewhat interested

bb and hs included will check on the wheel size, I should think 700c.

The words "gift-horse" & "mouth" come to mind.

The words "gift-horse" & "mouth" come to mind.

Understand the saying, but not the reasoning behind your application?

I thought the same thing.

Plenty of inquiries but no takers yet....

I have put some close ups of the paintwork of the Gitane on my photobucket link.

hi Tel,

The gitane looks good, why not send it off to argos or other reputable company for a new finishing job?

edit:

oof, that's awful, i feel for you

Motobecane is sold

Is the Gitane frame still for sale? do you sell the whole frameset?

Gitane is still for sale. Included for £60 (plus postage) is the frame, fork, headset, and new unused threadless bottom bracket.
