Do a quick spray job, put on some coloured wheels & chopped off straight bars, don't bother about brakes and flog it to a lanky hipster for 500 quid.
I thought I had better check the frame size before doing any work at all.
Based on using 700c wheels I wanted to check that I could clear the crossbar, so I tried to hold the frame with what would be the rear axel 350mm off the ground. Well at least I tried to. The highest I could lift the frame without doing myself a genital discourtesy was 320mm.
So... would anyone like to buy a frame?

Snap!
Thanks for coming back to me on this. I did cast the Dawes back into the pond and it was snapped up by another tall cyclist here on CycleChat.
So I bought this wonderful frame, which arrived this morning.

this looks like it could be interesting, progress pictures with the project?
