Hi everyone,

purchased this a while ago complete (I just wanted the components) so looking to sell the frame. Really beautiful frame, was considering swapping the parts over from my Gazelle to this...

size is 55cm seat-tube (centre to top) and 53.5cm top tube (centre to centre)

The frame has no cracks, just a very very small ding in the centre of the chain-stay and someone has been at the right-hand rear drop-out with what looks like a blow torch. Mech hanger is slightly bent, I can get my father to bend it back unless buyer wants me to leave it, he's been doing metal work for years so will be able to get it straight and it will still be strong but just know some people prefer to do this themselves. There's also a tiny nick from what looks like a blade. Mech hanger thread still ok.

Once mech hanger has been bent back (probably 2mm off) the only remaining bit of someone's bodge will be the blow-torched burn to the drop-out hanger which could do with polishing a little.

Frame does have a few rust bubbles which are all very small.

I believe the original owner had this built up as a TT bike as it's only got a single gear braze-on and BB cable guides.

Looking for £200 posted please.

SOLD

So nice! Anyone wants my Venom frame so that I can take this?
I reckon 55cm should be fine with me :)

Formatting Help

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 >

Mention another user by @username

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

```

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
