I built it up and thought I could get away with it but I was thoroughly kidding myself 'cause it's WAAAAAAAY too big for me.
I'm after a decent 54/55cm beater frame and forks so I can have something I can actually use! Something with nice lugs so I can make it pretty would be great and if it came with a seatpost too, I'd be thoroughly chuffed.
So, I have a cuppla options...
1 - I will happily straight swap the above pictured, freshly painted large Raleigh frame for something beaten up in my size 'cause I wanna give it a personal paint job anyway.
2 - I have a brand new, unopened Rapha Hardshell Jacket in Dark Red, size XL that I will straight swap for the same thing, a half decent frameset in my size - http://www.rapha.cc/hardshell-jacket
3 - I'll chuck £60 at anyone who has an appropriately sized frame but i'd rather not part with cash if I don't have to.
So I recently bought this frameset from the lovely Saxby's for a single speed conversion - http://www.lfgss.com/thread93427.html
I got it powder coated at Armourtex (RAL6027) and put some decals on it - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Bicycle-Decals-Transfers-Stickers-Set-1-/130686892997?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1e6d8bbbc5

I don't need a headset or a BB either btw.
Thanks in advance guys.
