Frame 18in approx £100 budget

[keitht]

I need a frame fellas to build up as transport for my boy in his seat.

One I have the seattube is too short and the seat bumps on the wheel sometimes...well a lot in truth.

Doesn't have to be mint...nor overally special, or indeed properly retro....just needs to be in excellent structral condition...have disc mounts, a 1"1/8th headtube.

And approx 29" standover..I do have shortish arms so nothingto long across the top..

Steel or alloy....Kona, Spesh, marin, orange, etc etc etc...what you got

Got £100 to spend..and can throw in some trades as well

Hi,
I've got an 18" '93 Cinder Cone and TB P2 forks for sale? No disc mounts though. Can send you pics if you're interested?
Cheers.

hi ya keith dont know if this will float your boat, or if its too big, measured as a 21 centre to top, only 19 centre to centre though, think the top tube is 22.5 or 23, shorter stem and your laughing, a good sturdy bike cheap as chips

Thanks Charlie..ideal but sadly too big.


Got to sling my leg over it, and the childseat/child etc...can see myself doing myself mischief on that....

No to the Kona also...must have disc mounts..ideally IS.

Thanks anyways.

If it's disc mounts you'll almost certainly want to be posting in this other section
http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=39 not here in the retro up to 1997 area.
Hope that helps.

I don't like the split into two areas.

Feel free to move this post if it's in the wrong area.

Is a 17" centre to top Reynolds 853 Merlin Rock Lobster too small :?: a bit scruffy but no dings or rust

 

[keitht]

Not sure..will measure something else I have to see...

Scruffy is no problem...some pics please.

Not as scruffy as I remember it a bit of cable rub but most of the marks are sticky stuff from heli tape, a good clean and it would come up quite nice
