Winter bike or frame needed.

[d87heaven]

Im after a winter bike or a frame for a winter bike build. Needs to be able to have full mudguards fitted. Im 5ft 10 so a 54cm/med bike should do it. Anybody got anything?

what you after retro or modern and how much

 

[d87heaven]

Pretty open minded really although would prefer modern. Looking at a max of £300, less for frame obviously.

Cheers Norry, I might give that a look. How do they ride?

 

[Norry1]

Heavier than my Secteur - but feels pretty robust. Gears are pretty smooth. Takes full mudguards easily. So definitely not a speed machine, but seems like a capable winter workhorse.

Did you find anything?

Not sure if it'll interest you, but I've just refurbed a 23.5" 1980's Peugeot Carmargue (the racer not the flat bar type).

Set-up for Winter: full mudguards, new 28mm tyres & tubes, brake blocks, cables, chain and bar tape. Just need to fit new BB bearings and she's ready to roll!
