WTD: Light 48/50cm frame for Geared Hybrid Build

Posted on
  • Partial or just F+F
    Colour unimportant as long as in decent condition.
    Max price £120/£150 if really on the money!
    So nothing too fancy but preferably light steel or aluminium.
    Size 48/49/50 maybe 51, building it for a 5'3 lady so yea..
    Located SE London, local collection preferred but could travel if need be, postage considered also if feasible financially.

    Show me what you got pls!
    Cheers

  • Shame you're wrong side of Lndon as I've my mums old Giant Expression step through, I bought her a new bike for xmas so it's currently in my garden needing a bottom bracket to be a runner. The BB has already been removed (the one I fitted though the correct length seemingly is as loose as the one I removed so won't be in situ).
    Would then just need the chainset putting on and the chain guard. the chain is a bit mangy/rusted from sitting in the garden but works. Gears and brakes work fine, saddle is great and the wheels run straight without catching the pads and no crunchy hubs.

    £40 gets it but I'm in letchworth garden City North Herts (2 mins J9 A1) so a bit of a trek for you, the offer is there anyways before I put it on fleabay tomorrow.

  • HI Mr. Bump

    Appreciate the offer, but I am looking for something slightly more racy!
    Good luck

  • Hi, I bought this fixie from LFGSS 4 years ago, original listing here:

    https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/306141/

    I've owned this bike for 4 years now, has a couple more dings and scuffs here and there but otherwise it's super rideable and ready to go. It was a really good intro to fixed gear riding, also a 5'3 lady :)

    Only changes are new bar tape, a different saddle, and some Gatorskins.

  • Quite appetising actually, but since I am building a hybrid geared bike it’s probs not the right frame for this build as geared wheel hubs are wider than ss dropouts, plus wouldn’t have cable guides for the rear derailleur..too bad, sweet ride otherwise
    Appreciate the shout

  • Soz for not getting back to you sooner...appreciate the link, but it is outside my budget unfortunately. Thanks anyways

    And for anyone else, Im still looking!!
