FS/SWAP: 19" Principia MSL Pro Frame - £200 ono

[dongward]

Very nice light frame and a bit of a rarity I think - In black ano with gold decals (half way through replacing the original silver for gold) and will not come with the black chris king headset or race face crank - If anyone is interested in the crank I may sell that with the frame. There are disc mounts and cantis are possible but I don't have the bosses for these.

C BB to Top ST = 19"
C ST to C HT = 22.5"
Wheelbase = approx 42" or 1070mm

There was one on sale on RB a while back:

Headset is 1"1/4 but shimmed to 1"1/8th to take the chris king. I will include the headset shims and seat post shim if required (seat post shim from 30.9 to 27.2). I'll complete the decal swap over, leaving the seat tube blurb in place.

Reason for sale/swap - it was an attempt at a foray into whippet/aluminium frame teritory and I'm just a steel man at heart Frame in tip top condition but does have a tiny ding in the down tube - not noticeable but worth pointing out.

Would prefer to swap for 853 reynolds disc or similar steel frame in 17/18"

Regards,
Donnie

New pics added of, might I say it, CLEAN frame minus parts. Deciding to keep the Chris King Headset so £200 ONO

There are a few minor marks where the ano has rubbed down to show the bare metal. Pics below.

I like these frames but it's too big for me.

You might have more luck if you gave it a clean...

...I'm going for the whippet thoroughbred look - dancing and skipping in the mud - too clean means a lack of imagination
