Ok...now the catch. It is reduced because I have crashed it - there are scratches to the seat stays though these are only to the surface, and I highly doubt damage the structural integrety as the crash wasn't a bad one. The bit I am concerned about is the fact that one of the chainstays has "pulled" out of the frame slightly. I could have got this repaired, but was also offered a VERY nice full carbon frame at a dirt cheap price, so took this option :D. Anyway, I have asked around and this has happened to a few people with carbon seat stays, some of whom have had this repair. Apparently it is a relatively cheap repair that costs around £40, so even if this repair does cost as much as £40 then this is still a superb frame for only £60 in total!
I would really hate more this to be misinterpreted.
When I said the structural integrety is ok, I mean I believed that the carbon would be ok, that it would hold up. The fact that the seat stay is pulled out a little would by logic, make the frame more A-symmetrical and this cannot be good. I doubt I would race/ride long distances on this frame as it is without it being repaired. Also £40 is not a 100% quote, it is just what I know it cost somebody else to get this same repair done.
I have been brutally honest here - sounds like I don't want to sell the thing! But time to be more positive: IT IS RED!...and has carbon bits!...and is cheap!...and is red!..oh said that one.. -
Still available. This frame really is sold as seen - Sammy, it appears pulled to me, and for a crack to appear 360degrees around the frame is extremely odd - of course I can post up a million picture clarifying this.
Tenderloin you have first dibs I believe.
Can I provide any more info regarding this frame? -

**Raleigh steel frame+forks - £12
**-small...I think sized 52cm ctc but will confirm.
-bit battered but still seems in good nick
-horizontal dropouts (though one of these is pretty short leaving less room for adjustment)
-chainset attatched....Needs somebody a bit more willing than me to remove it. Basically the plastic cap on the cranks seems to have been hacked out but leaving some of the cap around the edges. This means that a crank puller won't fit in to remove the crank. I'm sure this plastic may be removed though. Anyway the chainset can just be merrily left on.- photo shows the raleigh with 27 and 1/4 wheels as I was showing my brother how to remove and put on wheels etc...I believe these wheels are too big for it and the frame was designed for 700c, but I can confirm
