For Sale: Sakae litage frameset

Mountain bike frame For 26" wheels
Unusual early alloy frame about 20" I think,I'll check and let you know.
Really nice condition I was going to make up some track dropouts for it(the dropouts are replacable)should be easy enough with some alloy plate.and have a nice alternative to a Pompino
Change of plan means it is now for sale.
only £70 collect NW London or I will post for £15

Replaceable dropouts sound a bit dodgy to me?

Anyone had any experience of these?

Also, how big is the frame?

You could probs get some dropouts cnc'ed for about £50. By the looks of it you can take off all the bosses too. You could build this into something very nice.

Replaceable dropouts sound a bit dodgy to me?

Sacrificial protection. The dropout snaps (and is then easily replaced) rather than the frame in the event of a crash/mech going into the spokes etc...

It is big!
21.5" seatube, 24" toptube c-c
I was going to make some dropouts of ali sheet the same thickness- fairly easy for track style dropoutsand just a bit laborious with a hacksaw and file but a lot less than £50.
Brake bosses are rivited on will so will come off very easily.or move the bosses up a little to take 700c wheels

Removable dropouts saved my Orange's rear arm once hence a few hundred pounds so I'm on their side..

80 posted? how far back would I have to make track dropouts go in order to fit 700s? or is it gappy as hell anwyways?

I'll put some pics. up tommorow with 700c fitted.

I badly want a 16" one of these. Badly.

Nice high bottom bracket,You will need to remove/move the brake bosses for 700c though.As I said easyily done.The fork is drilled to take cailper brake.
