Disaster - my "new" Reynolds 631 road bike has developed a crack near its BB shell after only 600-odd miles; as it's a second hand purchase from last September I have no real comeback on the item now. As such, I'm looking for a similar-sized steel frame, 57 or 58cm with a 57(ish)cm top tube to do a parts swap and get back on the road soon. Spec sought is roughly as follows:
At least 531c (or equivalent) tubing
Racing geometry (no guard eyes/clearance)
2 x water bottle mounts
British thread BB
Lugged/fillet brazed construction, not welded
130mm rear end for 8sp hub
Gear lever bosses OR Ergo cable adjusters
Head tube to suit 1-inch headset
27.2mm seat pillar diameter
For 700c wheels, not 27"
Allen key brake bolt fittings
These would also be nice, but not compulsory:
Vertical dropouts
Split rear brake cable guides
Braze-on front mech mount
If you might be able to help, drop me a line. Frame should be free of structural damage with no history of accidents, but would consider a tatty item in need of new paint, especially as I'm on quite a tight budget. Willing to pay P&P costs as appropriate or can collect in person within reasonable travelling distance of Winchester. Preferably looking to buy a frame only as I have a Time carbon fork I can fit to it.
Thanks in advance for any interest,
David
