1981 21" Witcomb frame, in Dyno rod orange/red, 531 tubing (i'm assuming this based on the seat post size being 27.2mm and thats a typical tube set for these), Campagnolo drop outs on the frame and fork, comes with a shimano bottom bracket but i can't say if the BB is any good or not having never used it.

the seat post is stuck in, i tried gripping it with pliers but didn't get very far. will probably need more force and knowledge. could do with a good clean too.

I havnt done anything with this frame, i only bought it for the headset.

It has chips which can be seen in the photo, the worst 2 have dented the top tube slightly, see pics.

£100

I am in Brighton, can meet anyone at the train station (50mins from Victoria station) or could maybe drop off in London at cost of travel.

You haven't broken anything.
An assumption of vandalism is fallacious.
Nice frame btw They don't make those anymore.
Good luck with the sale.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

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