Wanted: Road frame-set, size 56.

fat bloke

I've been looking the last few weeks and nothin', but I just know that as soon as I make a purchase there'll be twenty new threads selling tasty 56cm bargains. So. - Speak now.

Budget is sort of 250 - 500.

Yeah, I saw that alright SSB, but it's too big for me. I'd go down to a 55 (top tube) no bother, but not above.

Planet X are doing the SL Pro Frame for £299stg and the fork is £99stg. http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FRPXSLPC/planet_x_pro_carbon_road_frame_new_logo
Or this is nice if you want Aluminium http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FTPXSLTAMK2/planet_x_team_alu_frame_and_forks_mk2

Dolan sometimes have framesets at good prices too.

Due to a recent purchase I am selling a BH race one frame. 54cm toptube. its aluminium with carbon rear stays and forks. Looking for 120 will post pics tomorrow.

clog

Pics of the BH selling frame only will include headset and ITM stem

fat bloke

Thanks but it's a bit small. Been there and done that with trying to shoe horn myself onto a nearly frame.

Sold the Madone frameset over the xmas (finally):). Got the asking so it was over your budget.

Like the other poster Plastic above, I thought you picked up a frame recently? Go wan tell us the story.

Fair enough. Rather than report you all to the mods for cluttering for sale threads with idle chatter.... I've obliged.

Congrats on the sale. I looked long and hard, and not for the first time.

Top tube length is 54 but its a sloping frame so effective top tube length is is 56.

clog

TheDocMan

fat bloke

clog

Perfect docman pm to arrange.

Sorry for the intrusion to your thread fatbloke .

fat bloke

Just in case there's any confusion, (and maybe a mod could clear up the thread a bit now that this tangential transaction has been completed):

I am still looking for a frameset, size 55/56, if anyone has one or knows of one.

http://pistonheads.com/sales/3505140.htm Too dodgy to buy over the net?

fat bloke

Always dreamed about buying something Italian on Pistonheads. Never thought it'd be a bike though !

+1. Thats the best your gonna do at that price.

fat bloke

Job done. I bought something yesterday, picked it up today, put my crud racers on it and going for club spin tomorrow. normal service resumed, aaaaaaand breathe! <phew!>

So now that i've made my purchase, please close the thread before the inevitable "actually my Colnago C50's not seeing much use, it's a 56 and I could probably let it go for 80 quid. It comes with full dura ace on it as well actually, sorry, I hope you don't mind I just couldn't be ar$ed stripping it. Oh I see I'm only down the road from you, I can drop it over now if you like? My name's Maria, I get so lonely over here sometimes since I left Italy, gave up modeling and my boyfriend died... etc etc etc.

Plastik

Bumping this one back up as I'm after the same myself. Anyone out there thinking of parting ways with a 56 at the moment?
