Wanted: "Nice" frameset (56, rim, road, mechanical)

    This is not a "wats ur laast pryce bud, can collect 2nite". But I'm packing my broken Bowman Palace frame up at the minute and shipping it away so I'll have the entire finishings of a nice bike sitting around idle and I'll be looking for something to hang them on. so if you've something to sell now or shortly you might think of me and let me know?

    As above, size 56, not disc braked, preferably a road/race frame though I'd consider a top cyclocross frame, and has to take a mechanical groupset so no Di2-only's.

    I'm open to considering anything, carbon/steel/aluminium but the higher end the better. High 3 figure budget, with probably a max of 1000 euro.

    Steel Ribble Endurance 725 frameset perhaps? 4% duty on framesets from the UK.

    Thanks. Looks nice actually but.... "Raw Frame Weight: 2100g (med) - fork 470g +/- 5g." :eek::eek::eek:

    Hi,

    Have a Genesis Volare 853 frameset in the attic. Medium, so 554 mm top tube.

    Meant to put it up for sale but keep forgetting...

    Sure if you're at a loose end and wander up into the attic at any stage, post up some pics and deets. :)

    I have my Principia frame from this post -

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=84341195

    Sean Kelly An Post used these frames for a few years so that either means they're a good pro level frame or he didn't have to pay for them!

    It's a "Large" which means ETT of 565 and headtube of 155. I drilled a few holes in it for the DI2 but it's done over 20k since then with no issues:eek:.

    A few scrapes from dropped chains but otherwise quite clean. Have new headset for it too.

    Wouldn't be for me Paul, but thanks.

    @Weepsie, work away if you're keen. Definitely more your size anyway.

    Do WyndyMilla sell frames? I've always fancied one of their bikes.

    Hi I've a Holdsworth Strada 953 stainless in medium. I've withdrawn it further down but you can see pics still. Geometry also can be found on Geometry geeks.

    Yeah, I don't understand their sizing though.

    A Medium is listed as a "50". The effective TT is ok at 555 but the stack at 525 is way off anything I've ever ridden - generally around 560
