I could be wrong, but I think you're really better off buying a frame first and building it up.
Most things that will be for sale will have been built up by the owner and they will probably put a high premium on their time and effort in putting it together.

Plus it's more fun doing it yourself and sourcing quality parts (as long as you've got some patience)

I've got one. It's a 1930s Sunbeam - funky bars (could be Lauterwasser), Brooks Champion Standard saddle, Resillion brakes and all that - in decent condition, but I have to warn you that it's been given a (professional) respray in purple! I was intending to re-do it again in the classic black with white mudguards, but maybe you can give it a better home. Get in touch for more details, photos etc. if interested.

Hi Errol

I just wanted to make sure you got my message that I am interested. No big hurry in sending the info and the photos but just let me know and I will put my search on hold for now.

Thanks
Arol

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:

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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
