my old beater frame has finally died and I am after something low cost as a replacement so i thought i'd see if anyone here had anything.

It must have horizontal dropouts to run fixed and british BB threads, id like it if it had a useable seatpost / headset intact but its not essential, It would also be great if it was intended for 700c so i don't have to use a long drop brake.. don't mind brand, colour or paint work condition but it must be structurally sound.

hopefully sub £50 is enough budget..

Thanks

I've got an old carlton cycles frame, tiny crack on leftside of brake bridge and left seat stay is slightly bent, £5?

Cheers.. A small crack getting worse is what led to the death of my last frame though so id rather avoid anything with a crack if i can, is £50 too hopeful?

a good frame, certainly not 'budget' back in the day. I can drop to 75 euros as lowest price, that's about 68GBP

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
