Frame collected today from onyerbike. Great to meet you and thanks for the inner tube trick, very useful indeed. Frame looks like an used frame does, some rust here and there but will definitely keep as it is.
Put it together quickly to see if wheels match the frame spacing and it's ok, but the brakes will have to be long drop, something like the alhonga ones. If anyone have some spare lying around, I can exchange for a pair of 'regular' tektros.
Crappy picture, sorry. Tomorrow will get bolt and nut to do the sheldon brown tool and remove the fixed cup of the bottom bracket. I can see it going wrong already. Good news is that the bottom bracket is threaded, so once the old one is out it should be pretty simple.
