hi,

i recently started learning to braze at uni, and i was wondering whether anyone had any damaged/crashed or otherwise unwanted steel frames for me to practice on. the cheaper the better, i obviously don't want to be cutting up nice frames. i'm based in brixton but happy to collect from all over london - ideally I'm after ones which people want to give away, but i might be able to pay like 5-£10 or something.

edit: in fact if any one had any unwanted tubing offcuts that would be ideal too.

let me know - thanks!

Hi George, I have an old Peugeot frame with a badly dented top tube which you're welcome to. I just need to remove the chainset and bb, but the thread size on the cranks some old French standard so need to find a suitable crank extractor first.

Hey George - you can have my old Marlboro frame if you want; it's unrideable due to a lovely car door incident. Based in Peckham.

I've got a slightly bent old frame of unknown steel tubing, currently gathering cobwebs in my shed. Am just off Brixton Hill so probably easy for you to collect if you want it?

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

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