Wanted Steel Frame & Forks 80's project

[Thame Game]

Material: Reynolds, Tange prestige, Ritchey, True Temper, Columbus etc...

Size around 18" +

Cantilever mount

1" threaded head

Sloping Top tube

Mounts for carriers

Starting a Klunker project after buying a set of Mafac cantis.

I can collect NorthWest area or happy to arrange courier.

Thanks all.

Will need other era bits as well. I still have my 1994 BikePro catalogue from the US. So may get very exotic and out of control with my requests.

Are you after a typical beach cruiser frame or a mountainbike frame? In case of the latter: I have a 1989 Columbus Max frameset (in fact an Olmo 50th Anniversary frameset) that needs a new owner. It started as a project but I never finished it. Size 18", canti mounts, 1" threaded forks. Original stem included.

That's a lovely frameset. I'm just finishing my Ciöcc San Christobal restoration, so Columbus tubing would continue my theme.

I've been inspired a lot by Ronnie Romance over in Connecticut, to build something resembling the very early days of mountain biking, but making it practical for myself at the same time.

The only snag with your frame and forks is the lack of bosses for carriers and stuff. I'm sorely tempted to make it a side project.

That stem is a work of art as well.
If nothing shows up I will definitely have a rethink.

Thank you very much for your time as well putting that up.

I’ve got the frame/forks from this build in the garage still. It could make a good clunker build. Seat tube is 18 1/2” centre to centre. Ishiwata tubing, about 1984 Araya/S&G Cycles Muddy Fox.

It's nice that, I cant ride a straight top tube off road tho. I know I said klunker above, but the practical side of me needs a sloped.
Very kind of you. Thanks.

I have a nice Kuwahara Mondia Competition Pro Frameset incl Stem / Fork ...fillet brazed, handmade.....front and rear w / Rollercams

Would it have bosses for carriers? I know some Kuwaharas had sloping top tubes...?
