Brand new Carrera Vanquish frame - black & white probably 2008 stock - £25 posted.
The frame (complete with hanger) came with matching forks which are alloy and weigh as much as the rest of the frame - so if you are really desperate those can be included at no extra cost. There are a couple of small flakes to the paint work from storage most of which will be hidden when the bike is built up.
To finish the frame off you will need a seat clamp and the various cable guides.
You will also need a semi integrated headset. I ordered one (a FSA No 11) off eBay but it was missing the compression ring and top cap. I will include the other bits of this headset on the off chance that you can drop on the correct compression ring -any old top cap will do the job. A new FSA No 11 is about £15 on eBay.
****The headset has a problem - which is probably why it was never built up by Halfords in the first place. Basically the inner diameter is too small by a gnat's whisker to take the integrated bearing cup on the FSA 11 - so you need a bit of emery paper or a small file to open it up a fraction -or you could file the bearing cup to fit.
