Any model considered (tequesta, karaokoram, etc). A frame is my priority so to worried if it comes built up or not. Ideally the rear 'u brake' needs to be included. An 18 or 20 inch frame.
Wanted - GT frame or bike from 1990, 1991 or 1992

Now updated to include 1992 models too. C'mon, someone here must be keen to offload some of their old triple triangles ! The frame is the aim so it doesn't matter what's currently on it or not.

Re:
Would you be interested in anything a little earlier?
I have a Karakoram K2 frame, fork &stem. Complete with rear u brake. I think its 88/89. Paint isn’t brilliant, but not sure it that’s an issue?

Re: Re:
The blue lower Avalanche is the right year but is the hanger not replaceable or was it broken off ?

Re:
PM sent with some pix, but here's one of it built up about 7-8 years ago.
The frames been in the shed for about 6 years maybe?

Re: Re:
the frame is ok. You just need to buy a hanger. (Richter's hanger does not match)

Re: Re:
I'm 6ft 3 so I think the 17 might be too small - even with a 400mm post. A shame as it looks nice.

Re:
I have a barn find 1989 Avalanche that’s done less than 2000 Kms. It even has the original Farmer Johns in great shape and tread. Catch is that I’m in Canada so postage will be pricy. But you won’t find a cleaner steel triple triangle. Send PM if interested. It looks like it just left the showroom. Splatter paint.
