Wanted: Small road frame (44-51cm?)

Looking for a frame for my girl, never much around in these small sizes that i can find. She's 5'2", and im ideally after a Road frame for conversion, as im not sure she cares much about weight or stiffness, chortle chortle!

I lent her my younger brothers 54cm and i think she might be into it, so id like to build her something that fits, and its an excuse to build more wheels.

Thanks, Robyn.

You'd would need to be looking at 650c frames. 700c frames stop at about 52cm, and they are both hard to find and goofy lookin.

Thats a good point, ill see what i can find, that frame is NICE. Might be a bit too nice if she decides its not for her though. Cheers ill keep looking.

I have a Bottechi 989 frame that I will be selling shortly.

It's the same frame as this: http://www.singlespeed.at/vintage-bicycles/bottecchia-989/bottecchia-989.html although there's no Columbus sticker on there anymore. I know they made them in Columbus SL and also Gara though. It's currently built up with a similar groupset too, but with Atlanta 96 rims rather than those red deep v's.

It's a 52cm ctt seat tube x 51cm ctc top tube. I am 5'7 and have a 130mm stem on and the seat quite high to fit me.

It's in good condition with just a few marks & scratched, but generally good in that lovely Ferrari red. I'll be looking for £125 for the frame & forks alone. I'm only selling it as I just bought myself a Colnago.

Let me know if it's of interest and I can take pics for you.

I have this frame for sale, seattube 51 cm c-t
Chrome of fork is okay
Chrome on chaistay signs of age.
Campagnolo dropouts

Sorry, forgot the price: 85 euro, posted

Interested in the Bottechi 989 if your not : )

Brig, your picture isnt showing up, care to PM me?

Also, youre welcome to that Bottechi as it is sadly more than i have to spend, its drop dead gorgeous though, if it was a 58 id have it for myself!

I have a vintage Gitane from 85 in red, size 50 with a headset and Bb, Vitus tubing, vgc especially the paint and chrome forks...

Here's the Bottechia on this thread I just put up: http://www.lfgss.com/thread63631.html

It's actually the Columbus SLX version so it's higher in price due it being a much higher-end model.

Did you sort a 51cm frame? I've got one in very nice condition if you are interested.

I havent, as most of the offers are a bit high end.. What have you sir?

Hey. I have a Bianchi Sprint on ebay at the moment. I know its ebay and that ebay is smelly rubbish but have a look and consider it!? Its 54 centre to top but, 50 centre to centre. Id say about the right size and its pretty cool! Celeste is cool! Item number: 180657389135

On my watch list, cheers .

I have an Orbit America

50cm C t T seat tube and 54 C to C top tube. It came with 7 or an 8 cm stem. I ve ridden it with a 10 cm. I think it might handle better with a shorter one.

Hilary had one for sale @ £160, i think, I can do this for less . It would include a head set and I ve some 38cm bars which might come in useful.

Do let me know and I ll send some pictures
