16" Tange Prestige MTB frame - for charity

Hello folks.

Still clearing out the cave, today's offering is:

A Tange Prestige MTB frame weighing in at 1.9kg

It measures:
Seat tube: 40.5cm C/C 45.5cm C/T
Top tube: 57cm C/C
Takes a 11/8" steerer
canti/v-brake only on the back
Takes a 27.2mm seat post
Cable routing for a top pull front mech

I bought this new and built it up with a 410mm A/C tripple butted Kona P2s that I still have somewhere. I raced it solo once at Mountain Mayhem (badly) and did a couple of rides on it before stripping it down. It's in good condition, no dents or chain suck. There are a few spots of rust but nothing bad, it's a champagey sort of colour (painted not plated).

So here's the deal. You collect the bike (Horsham, West Sussex, happy to meet you at the station) then you make a donation (you decide how much for) to the charity that has helped me via the just giving link here:

Long story short, I had cancer, it was seriously crap, the Olive Tree Cancer Support Centre helped make it easier. Now I'm a lot better I'm raising some money for them to carry on helping other people.

Full details of my story are in one of my other charity threads here:

I've moved on a couple of bikes and several frames already and the good folks of LFGSS have always been generous. So time to move on something else that I no longer have a use for.

Cheers,

Tad

Any 26” rear wheels in the bike cave?

Also, GLWS!
Love a LFGSS charity sale. Great cause and a great story.

Also if you read this thread but aren’t buying, give it a bump!

Thanks for the bump.

Sorry, I'm pretty sure that I don't have a rear, I gave the last one I knew about away with the stumpjumper this morning. I'll have a rummage in the loft though, there may be one lurking. The cave is beginning to look pretty sparse now.

Heave-ho and up we go.

Bump before the weekend. to comply with forum rules the frame now comes with a Chupa Chup lolly as there's no way of dropping the price.

If4 it helps the story, I was in hospital again today for a routine follow up, I popped by the Olive Tree on my way in & got a hug. Sometimes that's all you need.

A great cause, once more. If I was anywhere near, I'd grab this in a heartbeat. Have yourself a bump! Good luck with the (sort of, but not really) sale! :-)

@tadpole pm @velocio to check first, but as it’s for charity he probs won’t mind you bumping the thread a few times. In the meantime, have a bump.

I'm good with this.

Any sale that goes to charity is 100% find by me 😊. Only exceptions are things like raffles which are regulated and have a legal liability for me and the organiser. But that isn't the case here... Great cause too.

Lovely stuff

Bump.
Does the 57 top tube make it a bit long for drop bar monstouring?

@Velocio Thank you.

@sinthewood no idea, but if it's any help I rode it with a 130mm stem with flat bars. There aren't any braze ons for rack/mudguard mounts so maybe not ideal touring fodder. It does have a chain pip though, I do like a chain pip.

Bump

Back up we go. I've found a seat clamp to chuck in to the mix. Now comes with two Chupa Chups.

Buy this!

Tange prestige is light like 853 right?

On the kitchen scales the frame comes in at 1.9kg

Ok. Dibs. Will pm this evening, post work. In the meantime, suggestions for a light fork to match appreciated.

if @sinthewood decides against it gimme a message

Cool

For forks I rode it with a 410mm axel to crown triple butted Kona P2, they weighed in at 800g from memory.

Sure

Gone to a new home. Thank you again LFGSS
