    Hi,


    Myself and my brother are building a franken-bike (road bike), just looking for a frame now.


    Not too fussed about material, it just needs to be 52-54..
    If anyone has something in their shed fitting that description.


    Thanks a mill.

    I have this, will include bars, stem and seatpost. It's 54 and aluminium. The fork was replaced and isn't quite matching in colour and the BB ring was hacked by a local 'mechanic' but it can be removed with a bit of patience

    Wheels not included - €60 takes it away

    My old hong fu bike (in club colours) is hanging in the attic and wont get used.
    Size 54.
    I broke a spoke a few months back and had no option but to rise it home. The wheel was hitting two places on the rear triangle and wore a groove in the carbon.
    Havent used it since.
    Free if its any use to you!

    Is it safe to ride? It won't be used for racing..

    Saturday is the 22nd - I'm doing a Ring of Kerry on Saturday but will be back Sunday evening.

    That's if Scott doesn't want it

    Go for it, I think I'll go with the other frame.

    Cheers
