Located in Dalston, N1.

£150.

If you pick up tonight/tomorrow - £100!

yes to the first part...
NO to the 2nd part. you'll ruin a good woman. fix it, tell her shit happens, and not to get so upset next time.

I think you should sand it really thoroughly, then danish oil. About 5 treatments.

And tell your beloved you love her, you'll make it better, buy a bunch of flowers, and a meal out.

both sold and paid for

H.. I'm sorry but no idea about advantages. Just style I guess.
I think one should mix components as they wish. Providing that it looks good :)

cinelli unicanitor black
rolls san marco black
20 quid each > 18 quid
cinelli has some scrathes on the side as shown in pics
san marco has some scuffs at the back on both sides as shown in pics
otherwise both are in good condition
I reconditioned the leather with some mixed leather wax.

Too late I guess.. Never mind :-)

thanks, yes i think ill give it a go. like the looks of the frame.

34 inseam and reach i just measured fingertip to fingertip is 195 cm. my height is just about 190 cm.

yes I think so… as he is recommending it for light touring, i expect it to be fairly comfortable geo?

I may have found something that suits:

I'd really appreciate some advice.

This Woodrup frame was almost certainly designed as a multi-use frame – club riding, club time trials, light touring etc. Its in excellent condition and dates I think from about 1980. An ideal frame for use on Sportives and randonneurs.

This one has so many bits stuck to it.

Ok so lets skip the weight bit and just focus on other points... Also was talking about 531c, which is thinner than 531 standard whatnot. It's more about finding a comfortable frame which looks good (raleighs dont) without touring brazeons.

yes i look just like him... just the extra ham is around the midriff rather than the thigh region :-)

531 should be fine unless you're an undiscovered Forstemann

I would like to build an everyday commuter which is still very sleek looking out of an old steel frame.
im a bit on the heavy side, 6 ft 2 and 185 lbs. ive got a 531c which looks great but i think this tubing is a little on the thin side for everyday so i would like recommendations for vintage frames which look nice and have a bit sturdier tubes.
has to have relaxed comfortable geo
has to be lugged
has to be 531 st or butted tubing or equivalent.
must not have pantos on.
should not have too many braze ons as i want to ride single speed for this one.
must have pretty wrap around seat stays
i have been looking at some touring frames like dalesman and such but i dont like centre pull brakes and theres too bits i would have to remove.
any suggestions which old make/model would suit what im looking for?
thanks
