Wanted: Big steel frame

I'm looking to replace the carbolite one I already have. Trying to move up in the frame world without spending much money. Basically I'm on the hunt for something around the 60cm mark and preferably 531 but anything decent will do. Finish isn't an issue as I'll be removing braze ons and respraying. An old road frame would be ideal.

I'll be trawling ebay and the classifieds but if you spy anything please give me the heads up, cheers.

dunno if suitable but I have a 63cm 753 raleigh, it does have a crack in the seat tube just above the BB but a frame builder can repair/replace it (not sure of cost) really light weight and a hideous green. can supply some pics if you want.....

Check the carlton i have for sale in these listings.

531-check 60cm centre to centre-check £120.00 cash or paypal. Or cheque.

Unkle.

Cheers for the offers but they'd both be out of my budget, especially with the repairs on the first one.

I have one which might be pefect.. just gonna measure it..

its an Elswick Chinook.. old steel frame, 61cm. No dents in the tubing. Needs work though - needs the b/b removing etc...braze ons filing and what not. And it needs shot blasting and respraying.

julio and rik, do you have pictures?

harry, what length is the top tube?

Top tube looks to be just over 57cm c-c.

I have a 60cm Lejeune rd frame. It's a really nice light 531 frame. Forks are nicely lugged, and have a sloping crown. Seat stay bridge is quite pretty, can't really describe it but i can take pics...
Problems; very small dent in the top tube, french threaded BB. Comes with an old stronglight headset. Couple of pics on my page, though they don't do it justice.
Not looking for much cash, so if ur interested, make me an offer.
Jamie.

thanks for the offer harry but I'll pass as it will be too small.

BALLS! This would be perfect if it wasn't a french BB, have a truvativ powerspline crankset and BB that'll just be swapping over and I can't possibly afford a new BB and crankset. Thanks anyway.
