Hi All,

Been trying to buy a frame on here for a while but can only check at certain times so get out dibbed often so I thought I'd go direct (after missing out on an awesome 80s Koga Miyata and getting outbid at the last second on a Gazelle Champion Mondial).

Does anyone have a decent frame around 49-54cm? I am looking to build my first fixed after riding an OTP for some time. Will pay decent money for the right frame so if anybody has anything to sell let me know.

Thanks a lot!

thats a huge difference in frame sizes, have you measured yourself and then tried riding different sizes?

Update:
52 - 54cm would be preferable
F&F are required not just frame
Looking to pay up to £200 for the right frame

(Tom's right that is a massive difference, I ride a 54 at the moment and the standover height is probably as high as I can go that's why I thought that smaller could also work but 52-54 would definitely be preferable, I am 5'5)

Thanks for looking!

Can you 'stretch' to 55 cm ? I've a Miyata 912 I could part with...

Hi Tomasito,

Track or road really, just looking for something suitable to build my first fixed.

Thanks,

I have a Nigel Dean 54cm road frame up for grabs. I have ridden it fixed for a few years so there are no problems with chain line etc. It's Reynolds 500 and in good working order (no dents etc) but has plenty of paint scratches. It comes with threaded headset, and forks and I can supply shimano tiagra brakes, saddle, tires and the original Bars and stem too if needed.

Takes an english bottom bracket. Colour is flo yellow and bright metallic blue. It actually looks pretty nice (Blue Schwalbe blizzards colour match perfectly). Let me know if your interested. Will post or meet up (I'm based in Bristol but come to london now and then).

This is the best pic I have of it but i'm sure i can borrow a better camera if your interested.

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 >

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

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
