Looking to build a klunker with 26" wheels, coaster brake etc (as close to this as possible: https://www.stridsland.com/id-rather-be-klunking/)

So looking for a frameset to start with. I'm on the taller side (6'3") but not sure how that translates into old MTB sizing. Not fussed about tubing or condition really, as long as everything is aligned and structurally sound. Only needs are horizontal top tube and horizontal dropouts (for coaster brake)

I'm in Manchester so would probably need posting.

Team Marin that’s been converted with track ends?

I have a 16' DMR Trailstar frame, long seat post would be ok?

I have been thinking about selling this GT.

I got it with cracked chainstays and replaced them with the stays and dropouts from my Surly 1x1.

It has a brazed on mount for a coaster torque arm mount as well (positioned for an extended torque arm).

Note entirely sure on size, think it’s about an 18”.

Will measure up properly if you’d be interested.

It came to me for free so would only be looking to cover the value of the stays and my labour so, £75?

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
