So I recently bought this frameset from the lovely Saxby's for a single speed conversion - http://www.lfgss.com/thread93427.html
I got it powder coated at Armourtex (RAL6027) and put some decals on it - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Bicycle-Decals-Transfers-Stickers-Set-1-/130686892997?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1e6d8bbbc5
It now looks like this:
I built it up and thought I could get away with it but I was thoroughly kidding myself 'cause it's WAAAAAAAY too big for me.
I'm after a decent 54/55cm beater frame and forks so I can have something I can actually use! Something with nice lugs so I can make it pretty would be great and if it came with a seatpost too, I'd be thoroughly chuffed.
So, I have a cuppla options...
1 - I will happily straight swap the above pictured, freshly painted large Raleigh frame for something beaten up in my size 'cause I wanna give it a personal paint job anyway.
2 - I have a brand new, unopened Rapha Hardshell Jacket in Dark Red, size XL that I will straight swap for the same thing, a half decent frameset in my size - http://www.rapha.cc/hardshell-jacket
3 - I'll chuck £60 at anyone who has an appropriately sized frame but i'd rather not part with cash if I don't have to.
I don't need a headset or a BB either btw.
Thanks in advance guys.

Iain, this is your challenge to do a little interwebs research and find a magic cookie trail of venues doing mulled wine or similarly hot and spiced drinks, leading from Kaff to Catford.
...is doing mulled cider for the winter.
There's plenty of railings to lock your bike to outside but they're fully cycle friendly and you'd be more than welcome to bring your bikes into the pub.
Oh... heated outdoor garden/smoking area too.
£1.50 a drink on Tuesdays after 6pm.

will armourtex be able to coat my headtube in a different colour to the rest of the frame ? like in a Raleigh track?
Based on having two framesets done and having a few conversations with the staff, the answer to that would be "it depends". The thing it mainly depends on is the complexity of the job you're asking for. Call them and ask? Take it in and see what they say following an examination of the task at hand?

Fuck.
I'd have bitten your arm off for this last week!
I ended up with this in the end - http://hilarystone.com/images/sale%20images/frames/Carlton-Pro.jpg
Someone is gonna get an epic bargain.
