WANTED: 56-58cm Steel/Aluminium Frame for SS/Fixed Project

[John Edmondson]

Hi, does anybody have a suitable (without vertical drop outs) frame for sale? Thank You!

@biggs682 , anything that might suit Sir?

 

[biggs682]

thanks @smokeysmoo . at the moment the only frames i have are both newer style vertical dropouts .

but that wont stop @John Edmondson from going single speed but will make it more work for going fixed route though

got a couple of complete bike in that size if interested let me know or might even split the Dawes Imperial i have for sale ?

I have an old gas pipe 58cm frame and forks. Would build up into a SS or fixie.

The Dawes imperial is interesting. Could it go fixed?

Old 25" Dawes something or other, Reynolds 501 frame - black satin powder-coated.
Horizontal (but forward-facing) drop-outs.
Ideal for Fixed/SS as no derailleur hanger or braze-ons for DT shifters.
Sounds big I know, but most recently ridden by someone who "ought" to have a 56 -58 cm frame in modern terms.

Currently in Durham built up with 2x6 and band-on shifters as my son's uni bike, so would have to sort the logistics of stripping it and getting it to you somehow...

Nice, thanks for posting. It looks in good condition, any rust? How much for the frame only?

Sounds great but I'm pretty sure 63cm(?) would be too large for me.
