Wanted Large 20-21" Nice Steel Frameset

[Skynet]

My brother is looking for a nice, large (to me!) steel frameset. Not so nice it's £1k+ but nice enough and preferably not in desperate need of repainting (although that might not be a dealbreaker) and includes rigid forks. Dainty rather than chunky. Non-rusty!

I don't know a whole lot about 80's mtb's but, if it is, he'll want to swap his stuff over from his '93 merlin so "normal" spacing would be nice but might not be an option for wheels.

So off the top of my head early Salsa, Ibis, Mountain Goat, Ritchey, there's bound to be others. Chatting with him he's not keen on a Kona, Marin, Orange, Trek or Specialized which narrows it down a bit.

Thanks

Thank you Luca, that looks like a nice build however he’s only looking for a frameset as he already has nice mainly nos parts on his Merlin which he’d like to use if possible, although he might need new wheels etc depending on the age of the frame.

Hi, no problem. Unfortunately I sell the complete mtb and not the only frame is fork. In case you think about it and are interested, this 1991 Nos mtb will be waiting for you with open arms. Thanks for the reply. Luca.
