| 52cm - 53cm Frame - Something Shiny! Crash Replacement :( Hi I'm building a bike for my GF as she was knocked of hers the other day and it's a total write off - the back wheel looks like a Pringle and even thought it was totally his fault the guy didn't even say sorry! Anyway, luckily she's alright and it was probably time for a new one anyway. So, maybe someone has something suitable they'd like to sell? The details... She's quite particular about what she wants - loves lugs, chromed forks and chainstays and is a sucker for a pretty graphic / colour / fade. The nicer condition the better, no rust. Budget is up to around £120 for frame and forks, would be nice if headset / BB were included too. I know this isn't a huge amount of money for a frame in nice cosmetic condition but I'd be interested to see what's out there for that price. She cycles a lot so we'd be looking to get something together asap. I guess either post any images or descriptions below or PM me. Thanks in advance for any help... | |

| | I have a Cinelli Unica for £125 its steel its bright yellow but has vertical dropouts....  1996 46.5cm (ctc) Cinelli Unica road frame with a 52cm ctc top tube. Rear dropout width is 130mm. Bottom bracket threads are Italian. It is built from Columbus Brain tubing. It takes a 27.2mm seatpost. This is a very beautiful compact road frame with a sloping top tube - it is roughly equivalent to a 50-51cm standard road frame. It has one very small dent to the top of the top tube just in front of the seat lug which can just be seen in the photos. The paint is in very nice condition with very few marks. There is a sticky coating to some of the paint - I have cleaned most of it off but some residue still remains. Hilary |
