WTB- Small vintage mountain bike

Hi all,

Bit out of keeping with the forum but I’m looking to pick up a vintage 26” mountain bike to chuck some racks on. Ideally looking for something 80s-90s ish. I’m 5’9 so looking for something small, around 17-18”. Been keeping an eye out for specialized, muddy fox, trek, that sort of thing.

If you’ve got anything, I’m looking to spend under £200.

Cheers!

I've this frame that I've still not got round to putting on eBay https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/388209/#comment17068555
I'm 5.9 also.
Edit, although no rack mounts.

This is a really lovely frame, but like you mentioned m, no frame mounts! Not quite what I’m looking for at the moment, but I’ll bear it in mind!

Thanks for the interest

I’ve got an aluminium specialized hardrock if you’d be interested in a little project. It’s missing a few bits but you could have it for £40 if you want it

I’d certainly be interested in taking a look! Could you possibly dm me with some photos?
Cheers

rack bosses on rear dropout

Those were taken when I built it for my brother in law - it's had a few changes made since (downgrades imho) so I'll need to dig it out of my shed for some up to date pics

Sorry, just saw that you'd said DM - will sort you out with some current pics soon

Thanks for these! Not quite what I’m looking for really though, looking for steel ideally. Thank you

no worries, thanks for the prompt response

After a shuffle around I now have some steel forks that would be perfect if you can only get a frame. Free to a good home!

I'm not sure if I am allowed to post this here, but I'm selling this Cannondale on retrobike.

Are you based in London?

I’m not, but am there fairly regularly! Feel free to PM me if you have anything to offer

I've got this Claude Butler Hammer LX
Frame is 18" needs a good service and gears adjusting. You can have it for a couple of nice beers if it's any good ?
I'm in KT4.

I've got an early '90s Specialized Rockhopper, which is stashed in South Wales at the moment, unlikely to get used again. Might be a shade large though as it's 19", probably a bit small for me at 6ft though.

This is appealing! Could you dm me any photos and information?

Cheers
