A lovely little frame that I picked up as a full bike off here for £200 a few months before xmas I think.

It was intended to be a project, have it powdercoated white and get some decals from gil_m to try and replicate the cool alpine stars fluoro paint jobs from back in the day. Sadly I'm no longer going to have the time for this. I should probably hang on to it for when my children get old enough for a frame this size (which is 12.5 inches centre to top by the way), but I need my space back in the garage and have decided not to hang on to things that never get built anymore (there are a few more to come).

It's a nice solid frame, various rubs here and there as you can see. With it being chrome (nickel plated according to research), it has some surface rust but it's a solid frame. When it came to me it was caked in mud, I've cleaned it up a bit and some areas seem to have been protected from the elements by the lack of care the previous owner bestowed upon it - there is no chain suck and that area is nice and shiny.

Comes with the forks, stem and odd headset arrangement which is a weird 1 inch threaded affair (proprietary called zero stack system I believe), but an ahead stem (the forks are threaded for the headset, but unthreaded for the stem). Research suggests that a 1 1/8 semi-integrated headset will fit (I bought a hope one for the project if you are interested). I also have the original alpine stars bars that it came with, but these were pretty faded. I'll include them too as they were original to the bike.

It's also got the canti cable mounts on the frame for the rear, like the old GTs. I was planning to go vs and 1x10 when it was done, not sure you can run vs and a front mech though, as there aren't enough cable guides on the frame for that.

I'm after £120 > £100 inc UK postage for the bundle. It owes me a lot more, as the majority of the parts that came with it weren't usable. Hopefully that sounds like a reasonable price for a frame that you don't see come up for sale very often, and in such a weeny size.

Re: Alpine stars cro-mega T560

Price drop, now £100 Inc UK postage. A bargain imho for such a small and rare thing. I'm losing out big time but I'd rather it go to a good home than languish in my garage.
 
Re: Alpine stars cro-mega T560

I would have bought this for my very short wife. But I already have something suitable.
Hope you get a buyer soon.
 
Re: Alpine stars cro-mega T560

It is indeed, it came with some too so it's no guess. I think I read a fair amount about this style of frame and even the T24 named variant was for 26 inch wheels??
 
Re: Alpine stars cro-mega T560

Is the headset complete, I got confused by the post. Guess that's my fault for trying to multi task!
 
Re: Alpine stars cro-mega T560

The original headset is complete and in good working order actually.
 
Re: Alpine stars cro-mega T560

Bump for this baby bike frame.

If interested, I can supply with a full lx groupset. It came with some trashed parts that I have replaced, it also came with some incomplete parts which I have also managed to find missing parts for. It didn't come with a saddle, or usable grips either, and the seat post was incomplete (missing cradle). I can throw it all together as a bike and let it go for £220 inc postage. Slightly more than I paid for it, but it will be improved, complete and a full bike.
