Heres a diabolo 18" frame in the tricky to find reynolds 731 tubeset
Needs a clean up and respray as the paintjob is a heap of shit with some surface corrosion on the underside of the downtube and stays, nothing that wont clean up though. Included is a project 2 fork and an xt headset
Bought this recently with a view to getting it powder coated and dollied up to build as towpath monster to pull a tagalong but new things have come up meaning this has to move on. I'm sticking it up for sale quickly before I change my mind.
Will post some pics and make the add more enticing when I am a little more awake!
Triple s powder coat is just down the road from me as it happens, if anybody is tempted but wants a nice finish I think they charge about £40 ish for a frame only and do a jolly nice finish. I could tack it onto the price if it helps.
£125 posted within the uk
Thanks for looking
SOLD THANKS

Very good price, can't believe I missed it!

God purchase there Matthew, can't wait to see it when it's built up. Any ideas what you might do with it?

No, I think your price was spot on. I paid twice that for mine, with an almost perfect DY paint job.

If I can say, it is too good a bike to be just a hack, I ride mine every couple of days on and off road, luv it!
