Right, I had an ad up looking for a traditional touring frame but plans have since changed and I'll be heading on a bigger adventure than expected along the silk route and to China.
Therefore I've decided a 26" tourer would be more in order for the extra bumps, general remoteness, lack of spare tyres, tubes and all that sort of stuff. In which case if anyone has a high class steel mtb or even better 26" tourer (although that's ambitious I admit) I would be interested in buying. Basically I want braze ons for a rack and mudguard mounts, and a large frame, 21 or 22". I'm willing to pay up to 150ish, over which I figure I may as well go for a new On-one or something like it. I very much like the idea of using a used frame, there are enough bikes out there already for all of us I reckon, which is why I'm inclined towards second hand.
Thanks,
