52cm square frame

Ello.

I'm after a 52cm x 52cm frame and forks suitable for a conversion or with track ends. It can be tatty looking, under £100 ideally.

Cheers,

Paul

It looks kind of similar to those Miche headsets. The black bit, does that come off? On the Mich ones, that would cover the locking nut.
