Thanks for the replies lads, +benbrangwyn , thanks for the link! They've got some really good deals, in my budget! Is it like eBay? Any chance you could help me navigate? Do they often ship to London?

Hi I'm looking for a bike around 62 ctt or 60 ctc, something nice but not too fancy (Colnago etc way out of budget), just interested to see if anyones got anything cool thats not already posted. Looking for something with 700c's.

I'm getting a frame painted, and I've opted to do the lug lining myself, to save money and i think i'll enjoy doing it. Ive done some research and seen some people have gotten some pretty good results with decocolor pens and post pens, especially compared to the lug work on some factor finished frames.. when i paint my lugs i won't be applying clear coat on top, was wondering if anyone else had experience using these pens? Or any other pens? I hear that Posca is water based, will that wear off quickly, i know technically it should but even on their website they say its water resistant, and clear coat is only an added recommendation to prolong the paint, which it would be in any case.

Also, if your reading this thread to learn about budget lugwork, heres a pretty cool link..

Thanks a lot for your replies guys, i went for an old Mercian frame in the end though! Will be in the current projects soon.

Hi guys, I want to build up a frame with nice new shiny parts, and the one that I've got my eye on has Reynolds 731 OS race tubing, does anyone have any info on it, or more importantly, know how it rides?

I heard a rumour that theres a weight limit on the frames but don't know if thats true?

I'd be using the frame for long distance riding so anyone that has experience with these frames please share!

Do you have the seat tube measurements? Top tube 59cm?
