I have a friend looking to build a touring bike and wants steel, anything out there vintage or modern. She is on a limited budget.

Thanks

I've got a Dawes Galaxy cromo frame.
The size is a 53, but as I recall it's got quite a long top tube, like 56/57. If it's potentially of interest, I can measure up.

I've got a MK1 Thorn Sherpa; Reynolds 525. I'm 5' 8" and it fits me fine. 5' 6" to 5' 9" would be about the range of it. Whole bike and completely original. Asking @ £450 for it.

i've got a 1980's 531 ATB frame and forks. it's freshly power coated black and has a brand new heatset. 132mm rear spacing. Eyelets on the rear for guard and rack but nothing on the front. I'd take £50.

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:

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.
