So, after purchasing this last year from Gravy Monster I got as far as pressing a headset in and loosely putting a fork on. I am starting to get a bit bogged down with unfinished frames and projects so in order to make some room and money this needs to go.

Original sale thread here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/vi...tdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=mountain+goat

And GM's excellent description (which I hope he does not mind me using):

"... 1992 and size 17 frame number is 1792w175 The frame is Tange Prestige & has a 1" headtube, Also has a mech inverter on the seatube

The Frame is in overall very good condition, The paintwork is lovley and shiney. Has a few chansuck marks , decals are in good shape but..... There is 1 area that needs to be conisdered, There are some small rust dots on the seat tube that visually dont look that bad, But under guidance from Chris there are 3 little pin holes within 3 of the dots, A torch shone down the tube brought this to my attention, the 3 dots and pin holes line up which is strange and could be a manufacturing defect ?. I have had a good look and to me looks and also sounds (when tapped with an allen key gently) solid and rings nicely not like an infected rusty area would , This area is in the last picture below"


I will add: 26.8 seat post required.

Further: I have had this checked over by a couple of people with some frame building experience and the consensus was that it is rideable, however its probably not going to stand up to too much abuse - the seat tube in general is not in a bad state (aside from the pin holes).

I will stick some of my own pics up in a bit but there are some of GM's originals on his thread.

Looking to get back what I paid or as near as so £140 posted, not including headset and fork)

I thought I had been reasonably clear, but just to be crystal, the frame is a good price because of the seat tube issue, clearly described in the main post - I am willing to ship anywhere but you will need to cover the cost of shipping plus insurance.

Ta!
 
it'd been clear, but I have not seen before images, I wanted to have a more precise idea of the matter :wink:
 
bontrager fork

Good price on the frame whatever the condition. It would be worth fixing.

Please excuse my question, but is the fork up for sale? (long shot!)
