Wanted: 48/49cm frame or full bike.

Posted on
  • Hi Guys,
    I'm on the hunt for a bike for my girlfriend who's 5'3. I have an old mixte frame that I got re sprayed a while back but she's not that keen on a girly style of frame and fancies a classic road frame.

    I know they're hard to enough to get hold of but does anyone have one? Not got a huge budget but it doesn't need to be anything too fancy. I'm open to frames or a full/semi build.. I would say gears and brakes are essential for her! if you have anything at all let me know..

    Cheers,
    Tealemma

  • Christmas BUMP! Anybody?

  • This one is 48/49 cm, 531 main tubes. It's a Viking Mileater. It no longer has decals but I have do pics from before the powdercoating. (And a receipt from 1984!)

    The black plastic tape is just there to hold down the dynamo light wires - there are proper guides for the gears and brakes.

    Most of the components are the ones it came with so old but good quality. However I replaced the brake levers with ones for smaller hands and added cross top levers as well.

    As you can see it currently has mismatched wheels - the rear is the original 27", the front is a 700c with a dynamo hub.

    Happy to sell frame+forks, full bike or any variation. Obvs stuff like including the Brooks saddle will push the price up a bit. TBH you will probably want to sort out your own wheelset at least unless you actually want a dynamo hub.

  • I have more pictures but couldnt attach them.
