Very small road frame, Columbus Nemo tubing

[Jones]

I'd love to keep this as it rides really nicely but its always going to be a little too small for me :?

Its a really nicely put together frame but the VERY close tolerances will scare a few people :shock: especially between the seat tube and rear tyre which is no more than 2mm with a 23c tyre on :shock:

Its hilly around here so if it was going to flex and touch I'm fairly certain it would have done by now

Top tube c to c is 52cm, seat tube c to c is 49 so its small

Looking for £100 posted for frame/fork, headset and stem which I think is a bargain

Looking at the proportions I think this is actually a micro-TT frame, although minus the aero forks. The idea of the micro-TT was to shave off every last gram of weight of which one of the ways was to bring the rear wheel to within almost touching distance of the seat tube, like this bike. They're often hard to sell as people always assume they're for children or midgets but are actually designed for extremely long seatposts and about two feet of aero bars. They make perfect point-to-point town bikes or polo bikes when fitted with BMX bars as the short wheel base gives them snappy handling and stunt abilities. On mine the long seatpost means the saddle is almost behind the rear axle so just by leaning back you can pull a wheelie.
If this didn't sell 5 years ago then £80 for a Nemo tubed frame is an absolute bargain.
