• Got a guest visiting the UK for a few weeks in September and I'd like to build them up a bike to get around on.

    I'm after some sort of steel road/touring frame and forks (clearance for 32mm and canti mounts a big plus) to build up as a cheap beater.
    I have wheels and bits to build it with, but any parts bin extras a bonus too.

    In the region of 59cm square.

    Aesthetic condition irrelevant, but must be structurally sound with good threads etc etc.

    London pick up for cash.

    Cheers
    Thomas

  • It's not steel but it fits the majority of your requirements - I have a specialized tricross for sale in the relevant section. Plenty of mounts, including canti. Happy to post and discuss pricing!

  • Hi @Kalkhoff,

    Thanks for the offer, but it's definitely steel I'm after.
    Cheers

  • Resprayed Raleigh 531 touring type frame, not cantilever but I can supply calipers and will need posting, 59cm seatpost.

  • Fwiw, if this is built similarly to my Record Ace, 27”-> 700C will allow plenty of space for 32c tires and mudguards too.

  • Hello Harv,

    I'd like to avoid postage ideally.

    But If something doesn't crop up near by I'll be in touch to see what we can work out.

    Cheers

  • No worries, I'm away for a week now so give me a shout if you need it and any parts too.
