54cm Steel frameset (rim brake)

Hi all,

I really fancy building up a steel bike as I’ve never had one... looking for something 54/55cm that will take modern wheels and calipers... not fussy about paint condition as have a chap that will refurb for me... or happy to pay for something nice.

If anyone has something they’d be willing to sell on please let me know.

Many Thanks

Is 56 square too big?

I think it will be to be honest

I have 2x Genesis Equilibrium framesets for sale in the classifieds. One with carbon fork, one with steel. Current Genesis geo size Small: 542mm top tube.

Great bikes. I've replaced them with one the same in a medium as I need more bar height and may need to use flat bars due to bad hip.

Takes 28mm tyres with guards easy (I managed some that measured 30mm) and 30mm plus without. Use long drop brakes (TRP or Shimano).

Weigh about 1860g, which is light for steel. Comparable to. Condor Fratello.

Check out my a listing and PM if interested.

There's also a Cotic Escapade in Small if you want something disc and more gravelly.

Did you get my message about the 54 cm Surly Long Haul Trucker ?

It's in mid blue, 26" wheel version as it's a 54 cm. In excellent condition. Complete frameset with quality headset, very nice Shimano Cantis, long mudguards & Surly seat collar.

I also have to go with it, A Shimano 105 front mech, Shimano 105 10 speed Shifters 3 x 10.

No dings, dents, scratches or corrosion to any of it.
