Is anyone in the Cambridge area interested in any of the stuff below this before I offer it on the main forum? I’m up at Huntingdon but would be willing to deliver to Cambridge but preferably as a single trip. Prices are o.n.o. and if anyone wants it all then make me an offer, you may be surprised!
Unknown Road Frame
Seat Tube (ctc): 58cm
Top Tube (ctc): 58cm
Rear dropout width: 133mm
Wheel size: 700C
Front brake drop with 700C wheel: 60mm
Rear brake drop with 700C wheel: 50mm
Seatpost size: 23mm
I bought this frame as part of a complete bike from KINGCUTTER on the main LFGSS forum. Finish is NOT smooth and appears to be from a rattle can. Seatpost, bottom bracket and headset all seem to be in good condition, £40.

I bought this frame as part of a pair of mountain bikes from eBay. Finish is original but not in great condition. The seatpost is pretty much scrap, but at a push and with a little filing it could be used until a suitable replacement can be found. Bottom bracket and headset turn but their condition is otherwise unknown, £20.

good luck with it dude. Make sure you think long and hard wether its worth respraying the frame, money wise.
Thanks eddie, you've given me something to think about before I commit to spending my money. I'm beginning to wonder if I'd be better off putting up with the current paint and looking for a better frame...

I've just double checked and a 700c fits with good clearance, approximately 25mm. I assume it was designed with significant wheel/ frame clearance, although I suppose 700c road tyres are shallower than 26" MTB tyres.
