Hermit,
would you be interested in splitting? I'm only after a frame and fork. By the way, what's the centre to centre ( bb to top tube ) measurement please?

My adams apple?

Hermit,

Agency_Scum, it's not me selling the bike, it's a small company in Brighton that sell secondhand bikes, I posted the only details I have up there a bit ^^^ they state the size as being 26.5" try contacting them for more info and make an offer (01273 749049) I shouldn't think they get that many customers for that size so may do a deal? Worth a try?

 

[Agency_Scum]

Ooh, 26.5" is my exact road frame size!

Hermit,
I spoke to Gordon at G-Whizz. Bloody nice chap! We'll do a deal on the frame and fork if he doesn't sell it....fingers crossed!

 

[Hermit]

Tut! :roll: and there I was trying to keep G-Whizz quiet (only kidding) ... been a few retro bikes there in the last year or so, Kona, Breezer, Rockhopper

Be interesting to know if you get it and what happens so keep us posted

 

[Agency_Scum]

Cheers Hermit, I just bought it!



Now, should I respray or restore?

 

[Agency_Scum]

The restoration begins tommorrow!

The frame's great ( cheers Gordon! ). It's 26.5" c to c but it's ( triathlon ) short at 23" on the top tube...JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT! Unfortunately the paint's in a terrible state so it's all coming off and getting covered in a Motobecane stylee orange with ( eventually ) cream panels, white bar tape and a white rolls saddle. Nice!

Looking forward to seeing it when complete. Don't ever recycle it, the world metal markets would collapse!
