Hello.
I wanted to avoid a typical noob question, but have searched the forum for ages and can't find a thread that answers my question.
I just need to know if there is anywhere especially good to buy old frames.
I look on ebay a bit but nothing really seems to come up that often.
Do you buy second hand bikes/frames? and if so, where would you recommend that I start digging?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Carboot sales often have something too. The one at Battersea Tech. College is quite good. Otherwise the massiv one at Hayes in Kent starts soon - just the other side of Bromley.

If you want, i (or anyone else here) can give you their phone number - they have tons of frames that aren't online at their homes; i know for a fact that Jo just got a bunch of frames in, 30 plus.

My 2 pence.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

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

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
