I have this 1984 (I believe) Conquest frame for sale, restored by Retrobike's Deadratz. Geo is below. Marks and scratches consistent with use as a tourer / commuter for the past few years.
top tube (horizontal) c-c 57cm
seat tube c-t 54cm
wheelbase: 107cm
rear spacing: 130mm
In the spirit of full disclosure I should say that the fork dropouts are about 5mm out of line. I'd always suspected this, as it self steers to the right slightly with hands off the bars. I took it to the shop to see if this was correct and they put in their jug and showed me that the dropouts were slightly out of line. I don't believe it's got any worse in the 3 years I've been riding it, I've not crashed it, and I don't suspect it has been before me, it may have been welded up that way.
Despite this, it's a lovely riding frame in 501 tubing. Rides beautifully unloaded on light trails.
Collection from Bristol or I can post at cost. Will be packaged properly for posting.
