    Hi all,
    Had this for a while. I was hoping to get round to building it up for my girlfriend but haven't had the time or money (and she probably wouldn't ride it anyway)...So if anyone else is interested in it, and has time and some money its yours.
    Ive got everything for it.(everything in pics + wheels, front and rear derailleur, seat post etc)
    its the full bike pretty much except for the axle on the back wheel is broken in half.

    So far i completely stripped and cleaned the bike including bottom bracket, headset, and the other day put fork and bottom bracket back on and greased but think it might need new ball bearings.

    heres a few pictures. (excuse the cranks!)

    More pics here

    Problem: its got a non driveside crank arm on it with stripped threads.
    there's info on here and elsewhere about removing crank arms without pullers!

    FREE* PICK UP ONLY
    Pick up and viewing NW3
    Any other questions feel free to ask.
    thanks for looking

  • Hi there,
    how big's the frame?
    oh and provisional dibs! will know whether i can have it in an hour or so (and depending on size)
    cheers

  • Ah sorry, Looks to be roughly 56 square centre to centre

  • righto it may be a little on the small side... do you know what year it's from?
    oh and what make's the groupset you've got for it?
    thanks

  • Front derailleur says Huret on it. not sure about back. i can take pics if you like?
    Im not sure of the year. did a bit of research when i got it and i think its late 70's maybe!?
    serial no. looks like 036384.

  • Im offering this for free if someone wants to collect.
    cheers.

  • for free? interested

  • just the frame or everything?

  • perhaps he should stick a tenner down the headtube, just to sweeten the deal?

  • everything
    got the wheels as well. dont know how much use they will be though (bit rusted)

  • dibs mate

  • Did you read the bit about stripped threads on non driveside crank? Threads are completely stripped. It's a strong light crank, I've got the driveside with chain ring as well. And the original non drive side.
    Original drive side in pic has bent chain ring.
    Hope this makes sense!!
    It's gonna need a bit of work, got Swiss threaded bottom bracket.
    I would ideally like to give this to someone who will restore it and keep it together and whoever can arrange collection as soon as poss.
    Pm me.
    Cheers

  • Frame has just gone to a new home!
    Sorry to anyone who wanted it.
    needed it gone as it was taking up space in a house that isn't mine.
    Shall i close the thread? How?
    cheers

  • wait did it go to me or what?
