Wanted cheap frame (of some description)

Hi guys. This is a bit of a massive long shot but due to recent events I am going to be building my final ever bike build. I've gathered a selection of parts to make it happen but I'm lacking in the frame department due to blowing £100 on a pile of scrap :roll:

Not after anything amazing but good condition and around 19" frame would be perfect as it's going to be a very special bike for myself (not going to say why because probably get the urine taken from me but yeah it's sentimental, that's all you need to know)

Spec/weight wise I don't care as I only have £40 (posted - hence not actually expecting anything) it's more a matter of if I like it, I'll buy it. Although could do without Raleighs as sick to the bone with them now (just had to scrap about 20 of them). i only need frame and forks. Nothing else is required.

Please none of this 'don't be stupid, you won't get anything' because it' s hard enough not being able to do the plans I originally had (lesson learned, don't agree to help someone until you know what you're buying :lol: ) but am determined to carry on anyway.
 
Re:

What era are you looking for?

Re:

to be honest anything pre 2000 but open to suggestions. It's not so much a specific type of bike, just something I like the look of as only going to be used on gentle, more tranquil rides (it's got a specific purpose)

You're not a flasher are you?

Re:

Not sure if flasher is a term in my vocabulary but uh no I don't think so (definitely not of the streaking variety anyway, I wouldn't put anyone through that pain :lol: )

No in all seriousness, it's to recreate an idea I had a long time ago in the hope of re-inspiring myself. I used to be a writer and this project is linked to one of my first pieces.
 
Re:

I may have something...

I'm in Penzance, so you may be able to fondle before you buy?

Re:

Not sure how I would carry a bike on the back of a small motorbike from Penzance (admittedly I have done it before but of a significantly lesser distance). I'm sure I could sort something out though for the right bike.
 
Re:

I'll see what I've got in the morning.


Sure I can drop it around.
