Mid/late 1990's Parkpre Pro Elite titanium frame with Pace RC35 fork, XT threaded headset, Ringle quill stem, seatpost clamp & under bb cable guide for sale £320 collected, £330 posted in UK.
Frame measures 18" centre of bb to top of extended seat tube, 22" top tube. Lovely condition natural finish ti. Scruffy/missing decals but no dings or scrapes to the tubes.
Pace RC35 forks have scruffy upper decals but lower leg ones good. They need new elastomers as only move with hand pressure.
Smooth XT threaded headset with some locknut flats a bit worn but nothing serious.
Ringle quill stem in lovely condition, no decals & quite long @ 135mm.
Now - the only issue is I can't remove the stem. Haven't tried brute force but the expander wedge appears stuck. Reluctant to take the lump hammer to it. Have dribbled in a load of penetrating oil for now.

Goddamitt, curse my poverty :evil:
I'll write my letter to Santa and see what happens :roll:

Anyone sent anything sizeable from UK to Denmark or Europe? Royal Mail only list prices for up to 2 kg so how to send a frame?
Thanks, Jim.
