Still on the hunt for something along these lines!

As above, looking for a beater frame or frameset in Bristol around 56cm sized. Ideally with semi-sloping dropouts. I have a nice 1" threaded fork kicking about if you have a fork-less frame you're looking to get shot of. Nice extras but, as this will be a hacky commuter, can obviously work...

That's really interesting, thanks. I know of more than a few frame builders who would love to take that stuff off of your hands – let me know if you ever dig out!

That's really helpful, and kind of what I expected – thanks very much! The braze-ons for shifters is a good point and something I hadn't considered.

As above I am looking for a classic negative-rise 110mm-long quill stem with a 26mm clamp. I am not too fussy on condition provided it's not unusably rough! I am based in Bristol and happy to organise a courier. Cheers!

Re: That's my frameset. Happy to answer any questions about it here!

Re: Re: Exactly what I was going to say — would rather a RetroBiker picks up a bargain on the 'bay!

Re: Re: I'm 6ft on the dot with a 32" inseam and standover clearance was passable, not generous. And the price does not include postage, but more than happy to arrange this.

For sale is a totally unique ALAN 'cross frameset, likely from the late nineties (frame marked 11/98). The bike is a strange hybrid of regular welded construction and ALAN's signature bonded construction — the fork in particular features bonded legs and dropouts with a steel steerer. I have...

That does sound perfect — do you have a price in mind? DM me if you prefer (:
