Looking for a nice old mixte touring bike or possibly just frame & forks for the missus as she's needs something a bit tougher to commute on that her '80s Falcon road bike.
Bike will be modified with a few bits from her old bike so don't be shy if yours has worn drivetrain etc.
Size in the region of 51-52cm seat tube c-t with c.52cm c-c top tube
Ideally 531 Reynolds tubing, made by good British brand (Falcon, Dawes, Raleigh, Butler, Eagle etc.) ideally with 1" threaded headset
Must have canti bosses and good deal of tyre clearance (35mm+) with mudguards and rack mounts please!
Don't mind 126mm or 130mm rear spacing but MUST have horizontal dropouts
