Is this frame really crap or really good?

no one buy it the seller is in my town and he is an idiot its a mustang he had powder coated then argued about the price and went mental at the powder coaters brought it into are shop and went off the handle because we couldn't fit the bike to be built up that very same day so he could ride that night run run while you can the blokes a full on nutter good old lowestoft its a shit hole full of idiots that think everthing will last forever and that all the shops are only trying to rip them off at ever turn ow and the locals have IQ's no higher than 85 points

...and.... the bike stand

I wondered what that was for. I haven't had a bike stand on a frame since my Grifter so forgive me.

Used to go to Lowestoft quite a bit and it certainly does have a few strange individuals, quite liked it despite them though, has a certain character.

Do they still have the fish week festival with fireworks? Seem to remember a local beer that was nice too, Green something or the other I think it was.
Had some good times up there especially the evening powerboat racing on Oulton Broad, great fish and chips too.

Yep I like Lowestoft

If we've established it's a low-end Raleigh then the bike stand bracket marks it out as a Magnum - this was a Mustang with mudguards and lights, a rack and a stand. It weighed slightly more than the moon.

Should have been more specific, one in Carlton Colville (not the chinky bloke) one on the front near the car park and another in Pakefield were my favourites
Yep, agreed that one near the park was crap

 

[cannondale king]

if you can ever make it down here i live on victoria rd right near the park i can show you the best local chippy and have a beach ride if ya fancy mate

Cheers for that, would like to revisit as its been a while.

Strange how we never appreciate the place we live and sometimes takes outsiders to spot the good stuff.

Quite liked The Darkness too
