Hi..I bought the frame from Frogett a few weeks ago as a project but...i decided to buy a frame that did not require any work....i bought it from him for £60 posted but it came sans fork....i have obtained a genuine set of 653 forks with Campag dropouts....the steerer is 192mm and there is 47mm of thread....the frame is 56cm square with 126mm OLN and a takes an English threaded BB...the BB shell is cast [68mm] and the brake bridge is i believe by Cinelli......According to Frogett, he stripped the threads and Vernon repaired them...I have inserted a BB into the shell with no probs and removed it just as safely....[see pic of underside of the shell]...it is a solid repair.....there are no dings or dents in the frame and it has vertical dropouts.....originally it had mudguard eyes but i have had then properly removed......the frame and forks do not 'match'...so it needs a respray [more about that later]......but the forks come from a frame of similar size so there should be no problems when it comes to putting in a headset.......
As it is.......£70 posted
IF you want the rear dropouts replaced with track ends [they will be done properly by Harvey in Cambridge]........£115 posted
Any further questions just ask.....it is light and a good frame......there was a lot of muck on the frame which i have removed with Nitromors...so you can clearly see the BB repair....i am not hiding anything here.
