Hi everyone, my girlfriend is looking to buy a touring bike for summer weekend rides and a big trip in the coming year or so. Aiming for 52-54 inch frame, ideally fully built but we would grab a frame if it was something special. £600 tops is the budget.

If anyone has something that might fit please let me know.

Thanks

Got a Nigel Dean 531 19in frame, has canti mounts, really needs a re-spray though as paint pretty knackered- F&F only, no h/set or BB but can include the fork canti hanger mount. Sweet little frame, can post for £40 all in if you are interested I can send some pics this weekend

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:

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

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

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