Wanted: steel frame mtb suitable for touring

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,

I meant to add the sort of thing I'm looking for would be a Kona Smoke, Dawes Onedown/Sardar, I'd consider a Rockhopper as well. Something of that ilk, I figure I'll spend a lot fitting it out so it wouldn't be a bad idea to save some cash on the frame.

I have a 19" ctc seat tube Orange Clockwork 1993 frame. Its got rack brazes etc. No fork- but a decent steel touring fork is easy to get hold of. Im only after £50 collected for it ( it has a very small ding in the top tube)

Its matt black - paint has seen better days, but not too bad - stripped off decals (new ones on ebay for £8 posted though ).

Some crap pics available- can get better ones if needed.

eg forks

cheers for the offer, bit on the small side though so I'll pass

Anyone else? Forgot to mention at the beginning I'm in Ireland so it'll have to be posted. Hope it's not too big an issue .

I have a 19 inch frame 1989 rockhopper that is totally original..£65 collected as featured here

bob jackson 'expedition'

reynolds designer select (mostly 531st or the rarer 531 ATB (531st in oversize??? ) no doubt) custom made 26' wheel tourer (not MTB) frame set. - so built in geometry and tubing for fully loaded touring

all rack points on there and 3 bottle points,

• 57cm ish on the top tube.
  
  

any good to you ?

in Manchester but i can post it.

also may have other bits of use (such as NOS stx hubs), seatpost, racks, mechs etc. - how are you setting it up? how much have you already got - could set up as full expedition bike possibly...
