I was going to say there was a kind chap in Cambridge that has just offered me a dead frame for cutting up on my wanted thread....... but I just checked and its you! Marcfez lives just round the corner from me so I'm going to see if I can pick up his but feel free to contact ffm for his if it looks like it would be useful. http://www.lfgss.com/thread104576.html
Thanks for the offer, I've replied on the other thread to avoid derailing this one! Mines actually for another hardwood frame. Next generation from my last one after a years worth of riding experience and plenty of research.
Attached photo is a test section of tube that's off to the Oxford uni materials testing lab next week to be smashed up. Its not far off the weight of a Columbus Airplane alu top tube and should, in theory, have a similar stiffness and dent resistance. Full bike to follow......
