@lotsirb Thanks!
@MisterMikkel if only those came in gumwall. I'm adamant to keep the classic gum look on this. Might have a lead on some nos conti knobbys with an orange strip going down the middle that I think could work.. kinda?
@billygoat28 Thanks! I think I will eventually switch back to the nitto's but already bought the Ti bars especially for this so gonna stick with it for a while. Will keep an eye out for titanium riser bars for a lowkey bit of bling

Finally got this frame built up and rideable.. ended up taking off more of the paint as the pink was starting to annoy me. Mad Max kinda vibes but enjoyed the ride home last night. Stem cable guide needs some work but kinda works for now.
Waiting on some titanium flat bars and some black inner cable housing to wrap the exposed cables. Gonna also get rid of the slick on the front and fit the matching rear tyre soon, but can see myself enjoying the slicks in the summer when it's less wet out.

Just realised I never replied back to this but thanks for your help.
This is the second frame I've done with the first not really being my cup of tea so won't be showing it! Few things is I thought I had done enough clear on the first coat but its seem like I haven't. The fork is perfect though. Couple more questions @general_greyharbour can I go over the clear again without sanding with wet and dry once its fully dried. Been over a week now since I done it.
I noticed that the Metallic Montana Golds sit on the frame way way better than the solid colours, which is good but limiting in terms of colours.
Lastly, I've been given a load circa 40 can of Cellulose spray paint, all new unused but from the research I have done the 2K lacquer won't sit well on top of this.. maybe 1K would work better but have you got any advice?

Been meaning to get this sorted for a while but I have to clear out the storage my pal has kindly let me use for the past 6 months. They are all back at home where I basically am having to sleep on top of them so I believe they are priced to sell quickly and not really looking to take offers unless you really think I am way out on pricing. A deal could potentially be done on purchase of multiple frames.
If you buy something I'd like you to donate £10 per frame to the forum and or a charity supporting the Palestinian people. I will be taking cash only on the frames which is why I ask you to donate directly when you get back from collecting.
All measurements are CTC - All frames take 700c wheels - All frames are cash on inspection-collection only - All frames are used and have minor imperfections.
Please do not ask me for photos of wheels in the frame. Its a mess in my room atm and bringing them back out with wheels etc is long and might cause them to be knocked/dented. Expect tightish clearances for ~25mm tyres on most of the frames.
I have tried to state anything critical but all should be worthy of at least building up into a beater if not a respray. I wouldn't have kept them otherwise and most of them would've got resprayed by myself if I hadn't lost my workshop.
Collection is from Archway N19 - postage is not available atm due to not having boxes.
I will be around most of the week except for Thursday and Saturday evening atm. Please send a PM with what you are interested in and when you can make it to Archway ( I am a 2 minute walk from the tube) along with a contact number. So that I can try and get collections all arranged during a certain time of day so I can sort things out with work. This avoids needless back and forth messages too. I will get back to all messages by midnight at the latest with an update on whats going on.
