Anyone else? Forgot to mention at the beginning I'm in Ireland so it'll have to be posted. Hope it's not too big an issue .

cheers for the offer, bit on the small side though so I'll pass

I meant to add the sort of thing I'm looking for would be a Kona Smoke, Dawes Onedown/Sardar, I'd consider a Rockhopper as well. Something of that ilk, I figure I'll spend a lot fitting it out so it wouldn't be a bad idea to save some cash on the frame.

Right, I had an ad up looking for a traditional touring frame but plans have since changed and I'll be heading on a bigger adventure than expected along the silk route and to China.
Therefore I've decided a 26" tourer would be more in order for the extra bumps, general remoteness, lack of spare tyres, tubes and all that sort of stuff. In which case if anyone has a high class steel mtb or even better 26" tourer (although that's ambitious I admit) I would be interested in buying. Basically I want braze ons for a rack and mudguard mounts, and a large frame, 21 or 22". I'm willing to pay up to 150ish, over which I figure I may as well go for a new On-one or something like it. I very much like the idea of using a used frame, there are enough bikes out there already for all of us I reckon, which is why I'm inclined towards second hand.Thanks,

More or less decided to go for a 26" now. The plan is to hit up central asia and the silk route next spring and summer with my girlfriend and I reckon I could do with mtb wheels for the bumpy roads and general remoteness. So if anyone has a steel mtb frame or 26" tourer that's decent quality and with a few braze ons I'd be interested. Dunno if I should start a new post to reflect this
Amusingly overpriced and poor quality fixies from Ireland, the comments following the first one in particular are enlightening (was originally listed at 450 of our euros)
