I have an abandoned project up for sale. Ive run out of room for bikes! It is a very nicely made Gazelle road frame with fancy cable routing, lugs and such. Its light, I was told it is reynolds 753 by the person I got it from but I do not know how to confirm this.
Minor faults on the frame are that;
1: It has been covered badly in paint primer (not by me)
2: The seatclamp area is a little bit crimped due to someone overtightening it onto an undersized seatpost (again not me).
With this in mind, I would be happy to let it go for a little less than a similar quality Gazelle frame.
Size is 54cm top tube, 51cm seat tube. (centre to centre). Can come with or without the pictured forks, which are very nice but not original.
I stuck on the parts just for the picture (I wouldve built it up as a very tidy geared roadie). The wheel on the front has a 19c tyre, and the rear one has no air in it. So You can see it is pretty "tight" and racey.

£110posted. for frame, forks, needle bearing headset and sealed bottom bracket.

So I this is a fairly good deal I think.
I have various wheels and other parts too if required.
