Wanted: Cheap(ish) 56cm(ish) steel frameset (Reynolds/Columbus)

Hiall, looking for a fairly cheap 56cm-ish frameset to make a light single speed commuter/beater.

Ideally Reynolds/Columbus and ideally less that £100, could push to £150. Would be even happier if someone had something with headset/bb/anything else.

Thanks!

I might have something but it does not have horizontal drop-outs. If you want a very light Bianchi with non-original forks and non-horizontal drop-outs then let me know.

inboxed.

I recommend you this one:

Feel free to negotiate the price. I believe the seller will agree to let it go between 100-125 gbp posted.

However you will have to find the craftmen to investigate the rear dropout. Despite this flaw i believe the frameset is worth rescuing, because it is oryginal, well cared for, very light Columbus (the same tubing as Colnago Super from 70s) and unique (early 70s). I saw it in person. If I am not involved in other project I would take it.

Hey @strangeweight

I have a complete Motobecane Mirage 18 going spare. Light - ish 20-40 tubing and Shimano Adamas parts.

£99 takes the full bike home

Got a beautiful Henry Burton 56square in great nick with Campag HS I could post for £220. Thanks, T

Something like this would be perfect but I'm really looking for something that I can build up right away.

Have a look at the Reynolds shorter that I was selling a little while back.

this is the one: http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/262495/#comment12165833

Frame, forks, headset, stem, seatpost and handlebars included. Brazeons for mudguards and a rack so ideal for a commuter.

I have a set of cheap tektro brakes, saddle, a rack and some a bit broken but serviceable guards that I can chuck in as well if they are of any use. They all came off a bike i broke for the frame.
