  • In the market for a small touring frame - 53/54cm.
    Should have mounts for guards and racks.

    Many thanks.

  • Doesn't look like it's got rack mounts. Thanks though.

  • I have an Orbit Harrier lying in the back of the camper van.
    I think the size is a 52 but if you let me know the top tube/seat tube sizes you'd like ill check in the morning.
    It has mudguard and rack mounts.

  • Sounds like that could be good. Some photos would be great if possible. Is it in good condition?
    53/54 cm sq should be about right.

  • Ok. i'll check tomor and let you know. If it fits the bill i'll send you a few pics.

  • I need the same thing, 54 sq touring frame to build for a friend.

    I'll get in line behind sorethroat..

  • Doesn't look like it's got rack mounts.

    P-clips on seat stays and bosses where stay for guards are attached at ends!!

  • It's only got mudguard braze ons, looking for a frame with rack and mudguard braze-ons. Can go either way with cantis though.
    Using p-clips at the moment and they tend to slip after a while when you have a heavy load and going over lots of bumps.

  • This?

    no front rack mounts, though... and pick up only from manchester, but maybe someone on here can help with that.

  • Yeah seen that already, looks perfect. Manchester part is the issue.

    99.9% sure I've seen this in the flesh - it was for sale at a cycle jumble in Manchester on Saturday.

    Nice frame, was tempted by it myself. However, another trader at the jumble bought it whilst I dithered...

  • Well if you wanna make £ 15, could you collect, pack and post it if I buy?
    Of course I will cover postage.
    Long shot I know.

    I'm in Liverpool. If I was closer to the seller, I'd gladly assist...

  • Hmm anyone know of any cheap otp touring frames? Or ladies touring frames?

  • Is this too old?

  • Sadly yes, apologies for not specifying in the op. It looks lovely though.

  • I'm sorry i never got back to you sooner OP. The Orbit Harrier was quite a bit smaller than i recalled(possibly why it's been in the campervan for a fair few months.

    Not exactly super-cheap, but Dawes do the Horizon Plus and Galaxy in 43cm and 48cm, which is pretty small, and you can find the 2012 models at a hefty discount online at the moment.

  • That's a great discount. A little too small but thanks for the help babybat.

  • I have a Cotic Roadrat in small, has rack and guard mounts, disc and v brake bosses. Let me know if you're interested and I'll check the measurements

  • I have a 53cm dawes Londoner frame (531st)
    that it might be tempted to sell or swap.
