Rocky mountain cirrus - small yet lovely estay - GONE

[ishaw]

Up for grabs is a Rocky mountain cirrus. I got it off here last year (I think) via a Karma style thread, but as it was in the states had to pay the postage to get it over here, which was around £60 if memory serves. Since I got it I have started to tidy it up, but have lost the love as it is going to be much too small for me sadly.

I've also bought some silver rocky mountain bars and stem and a non rocky seat post to fit the frame (it has a slightly unusual size seat post, though can't (black)remember off the top of my head what it is). I also have a rocky mounatil top cap in black.

I'm only after £90 posted for the package, to recoup my spend (postage will be essentially free).

The frame needs some work to get it shiny I have at various points started to sand out the worst of the cable rub, scratches etc and it will, with a bit of effort be a lovely looking estay once finished. Structurally sound (it is really well built I have to say), no cracks anywhere to be seen. I've been advised that the small hole in the head tube is not standard, but was there when I got it and won't do any harm, epsecially when hidden behind a head tube badge.

Size:

C to C - 15 inches
C to T - 17 inches

Post on here followed by PM to keep it open and fair. Happy to trade rather than take cash if a deal like that suits anyone, though no more frames - I have too many unfinished projects

it's a 17" in the catalogues, same as the two I have (one being for sale as well :roll

someone do something with this frame. this will be the third owner since leaving my hands in Canada and no one has hung a single part on it.

Not true - I did fit it with a seatpost and put some XT/Ritchey parts on it to try and justify to myself that it wasn't going to be way too small, but even then....

It is a lovely frame, and with a bit of elbow grease and a drill and polishing mops, this will be lovely. If only it were my size.....
