Wanted 16-17" Rigid Frameset for 26" Wheels

I bought a '97 Rockhopper off eBay the other day and there's a whopping great crack in the seat stays. Sadly not quite worth a repair, so looking for a frameset now (all the bits on the Rockhopper were in amazing condition which is even more galling).

> Looking for ahead/1⅛" steerer as moving to 31.8 stem for comfort bars.
> Fork not essential so if you've got something sans fork, still let me know (but I would prefer matchy-matchy)
> Would prefer something with decent tubing, don't want a lump!
> No ubrake frames, sorry.
 
GT Pantera,7005 tubing. Have a fork I’ll include. I have a basic but good order black aheadset I’ll also include and swap out with the old cups on the frame if you want it.

I need to clean it but once you polish it it’ll be lovely, repro decals easily available if needed.

£40 plus post.

Oof, this is great but leaning towards a steel frame. Thanks for posting though!

I love it, really nice when the light hits it - it's just too small for me. £40 posted? Probably about half of this will be going on post costs and buying packaging to be honest as I have nothing to send it with ATM 😂 can also include seat post and clamp if you want them.

Will be selling my 1995 giant mcm carbon frame (17.5). Just need to finish stripping it.

H

Wanted Post in thread 'Any small frames about?'

16" Kona Fire Mountain any good? As you know they come up as small.
Frame, fork, seatpost, clamp and stem, £60 plus postage.
It's a 1998, no dents, repainted in cream powdercoat. Can do some coffee coloured Conti tyres to match. Looks lovely with a brown saddle and grips.

Let me check with the recipient - but if you're anywhere near London then we can probably work out something with collection to get you the most bang for your buck.
