Am I wasting my time

I am selling my Polo bike - 55cm Claude Butler conversion with a custom paint job. its a proper beater that is out on loan but it's cheap if you need something to get you started.

but that will make a good polo bike - worst case you can build it, try it then if it doesn't work strip it and add the parts to a new frame that does work

Cheers Greasy, I'd be spending more time on the Guardian Soulmates forum if I were to buy another bike. Thanks anyway.

I'll persevere then and like you say, add to another frame if no good.
Just out of interest, how much for your beater?
