I am looking for a 6 speed freewheel. French thread and 14 - 24 teeth ideally.

Re: Ok Rod I will take them I just need your paypal address. If paypal is ok?

Re: Nice one Rod. How much are you looking for for the pair?

Re: If they are 32's then I would only need the rear. I already have the front. If they are 36 I may be interested in the pair.

Re: Ok I may be interested thanks! Keep me posted please?

126mm spacing with or without skewer. Hub only or complete wheel. Thanks in advance.

Wanted as per title. Doesn't have to be new but reasonable nick with decent pivot bolt hole threads.

Re: Ok just checked and the downtube is straight, no bowing. Same as seat tube.

Re: Yeah I suppose that is a possibility. The top tube cable guides aren't squashed or damaged either so if that was the case it would have been in between these.

Re: Yeah I get the idea that this bike has been left outside in the elements quite a bit in it's lifetime, hence the many rust spots across the frame. There is no creasing or denting of any kind to suggest a front end crash and the forks are straight. Original fork stamped with same frame...

Re: Ok so best bet is get it looked at by a professional framebuilder.

Re: Ok with regards to the paint, I have rubbed it down with sandpaper at these points due to some rust spots.

Doesn't look too bad here so will probably live with it. Should look ok after a repaint.

This is the photo that first made me think there was a curve

Apologies for the poor picture but there is clear daylight here with the straight edge held on top tube.
