56.5 square.
I decided to build up my other frame, so this frame is looking for a new home. Blasted and powder coated a year ago by Amourtex in cream (used a bit since). I had one fork leg straightened by Mercian as there was a slight kink in it when I bought the frame, now straight and true. It rides well, no structural problems. The lug work is decorative, would look good lug-lined, there are nice touches including the curved brake bridge and pump pegs on the top tube. It is a 60's model built for 27 x 1 1/4 sized wheels but will take 700c fine with long drop brakes, as pictured. Spacing is 100 / 120mm, seatpost is 26.4. Fork-column base has 27mm sizing which suits the older headsets / JIS (correct me if I'm talking rubbish here) or can be milled by a LBS to take a standard fit. There are a few small marks on the frame (mainly dropouts) from use which I have touched up in a similar beige, so the frame isn't pristine but it'd make a nice beater / project, hence the price.
£25 and delivery would have to be arranged and paid for by the buyer as I'm in the Midlands.
Dibs / PM / Paypal. Cheers.
