Bargain Local Pick up Saracen Kili Frame (Merseyside)

with a stuck seatpost and a crimped TT you would hope it goes very cheap

Seatpost should be relatively easy. And that crimp is hardly large.

is that why its still in there? Ive seen 27mm posts malleted into a 26.8mm frame in the past - frame was toast.

A bargain is where you get something worth a lot for little money. Cheap is where you buy something worth little money for little money. This bike should be cheap as it is neither high end nor without fault.

Im basing it on the ability to remove it using sheldon browns guide which hasnt failed me yet, but yep, see what you mean. Most give up though, so not always reflective of how stuck it is.

Ok, well maybe I worded it wrong. But potentially you could be getting a 5lb steel frame with a removal seatpost for less than a fiver. Think given the size of the dint in the top tube that it would then be a bargain.

See your point though.
