Sold!
Afternoon, this was a project which never really got started. I don't know much about the frame as I rescued it from possibly the worst build I've ever seen and since then it's just sat in my cupboard. From the little research I did when I first bought it I'm 90% sure it's a imperial petrel frame from the 40's made by a guy called Joe Scott- this is mainly based on the act that it's very unusual got the serial stamp on the lower heatube lug, i think he is the only one to who did this but I don't know for sure.
Seatube ctc- 21.5"
Top tube ctc- 23"
Anyway it could make a nice little restoration for someone. It has track ends, mudguard eyelets and is drilled for brakes so is just begging to be built in to a fixed commuting bike if nothing else. The geo is pretty slack as you'd expect of something with so much age. It has currently got a horrible rattlecan paint job but one resprayed could be quite nice. Included in the sale is frame, forks, headset and bb.
I have very little idea about price but I imagine** £120** is fair but please tell me if I'm wrong. I'm based in Bournemouth but will be in London Tuesday night and Wednesday if someone wants me to bring it up. If not its collection from Bournemouth or post at cost. Cheers.
