Wanted 650c frame
- Thread starter Springdank
- Start date
I was contemplating selling my Zunow Beradona. It's the frame i love most but the bike i ride least. It owes me quite a bit but i'd sell the frame, fork and Shimano 600 headseat for £550.
The top tube is 52cm virtual horizontal c-c.
I work professionally as a wheelbuilder and I built some nice 650b wheels for it. You can run them tubeless and they give you a much greater choice of better tyres. The frame will clear 650b x 25mm tyres. After £150 for wheels with tyres.
If any of this is of interest i can take more pictures. The frame is a work of art and is joyful just to look at. It is a hoot to ride.

I have a lovely early custom built Donhou track frame specifically made for 650c wheel size. It’s a very small frame, way too small for me. Comes with matching one-piece ahead stem and bullhorn bars. Chrome chainstay and ends, custom paint. Frame number 027 I think. I’ll send proper photos and sizes tomorrow. Meantime here’s some arty pictures of it built up. I still have the 650 rims too if they’re of interest.

Didn’t get a chance to take any photos today but did manage to measure it. It’s 48.5cm C-T seattube and 52cm C-C toptube.

Sounds like a good size for me and it is a really lovely frame. How much would you let it go for?

I saw you post this on lfgss a few months ago! Really is a beautiful frame but I fear if I bought it I wouldn't manage to get it out often enough
No worries. I think i might regret selling it!
Buy that donhou before i get tempted... again.

Here’s some better photos. It’s a 631 frame #26. Paint and chrome is still in great condition for a 10+ year old frame. Just one small paint chip on the TT as can be seen in the last photo. 1” threadless steerer and integrated bars/stem is lovely. How about £280 including UK postage for everything you see here?

Pictures look great - would you be willing to split up the frameset and the handlebars? I've never got on well with bullhorns in the past.
Also feel free to PM me, I'm still too new here to be able to start conversations...
