Hi All,
As the title says, I'm after a frameset or bike for a light restoration and conversion into a single speed. A full bike is not necessary, but a very good quality frame/folks (straight, no dents or rust) definitely is. I plan to source any missing components as required.
My ideal frame would be:
British made c1960-80 road/racing style
Reynolds 531 steel or better
54-56cm seat tube length (c-c) and sub-55cm top tube (square or under-square geometry)
Ability to take 28mm (or wider) 700c tyres
British threaded bottom bracket style
Accommodation on the frame to take both front and rear brakes
Like I said, condition of the frame needs to be as good as possible, absence of peddles, gear set, handlebars etc is not a problem.
Cash waiting and can collect within 2 hours (150 miles) of Suffolk.
Thanks,
J
