Wanted: small frame and forks (48 or 50)

Posted on
  • Need a pair of small frames for my roller rig so we can run it for kids.

    Ideally need a small frame (not vertical dropouts) and forks, as long as it is straight and can run 700c wheels.

    On a budget here so looking for something under £75 posted (in southampton) each..

    What have you got or what do you know about....

  • I have a 531 frame and fork - 50cm(ctc), 52(ctt), 700c, 126mm rear end with horizontal drop-outs - that i want to offload. It's been my winter hack for a few years and ideal for a sweaty roller bike to learn on.

    Not sure of the make (it had a respray sometime before I got hold of it but I'm guessing probably Raleigh judging by the cinelli bb shell, sloping fork crown and filed lugs I'd say it is.

    It is absolutely straight as a die, with no dents or serious rust and rides lovely. Other than some light crazing under the paint in places and some surface rust on the tt, it's just a bit dirty and tatty. It would be an Ideal candidate for a cheap powder coat if someone wanted to make a presentable bike out of it at a later date.

    It has a Tange Nova headset - surfaces in good nick, but needs new bearings.

    I was looking for £50 if you can pick up? I'm just along the south coast from you. Let me know if any good and I'll send some pics.
    Cheers
    Andy
