    I have an old Viking frame that you buy if you want. It has a few components left on it which I could take off. Paint is not in good nick but the frame is perfect otherwise, nice brazings on it as well.

    What size are you looking for?

    I have a 51-53cm (need to measure) Dawes Frame from 90's. Made from Reynolds 531 Lugged Steel. It has sloped drop outs and mudguard eyelets so it's ideal for fixie conversion. Seat post, stem, bars, Weinman brakes, Suntour derailleurs and crankset included. A few spots of rust on the frame and the headset needs to be replaced (corrosion) but the frame is perfectly sound mechanically and has never crashed. It will make a really classy machine with some fresh paint.

    I've been meaning to put some love and care into for a while now but haven't gotten around to it.

    It's the same as this but maroon.

    Will sell for 120.
