Got two frames, one a lovely Claude Butler, 531 frame and forks, lovely electric blue, some chips in the paint and normal scrapes and wear around the bottom of the rear triangle. Was going to convert, 128mm rear dropout. Currently has a B****D, M%&^^$*%&^(&*g crank stuck in it, WILL be removed soon. Any interest/ offers/valuation?

Secondly something a little funky, a 27" seattube (MASSIVE!) Nigel Dean touring frame in 531ST tubing. No idea what the bollocks to do with this, look at the size of the thing! My 6'5" Brother was riding it with the saddle as low as possible. Needs painting really but a shame it's not being used as I imagine someone that tall would have trouble finding a bike. Anyone know any really tall people looking for a well built huge frame? Oh, and there's a handcuff style bike lock stuck on it.

You probably dont want to be requesting values, someone might say something well low and then people would feel silly paying higher.

That dean is epic!

Go in names and faces, im sure Ive seen some super tall folk in there. (jammy?)

cheers for the advice re. valuations, I like the claude so would want to let it go for less than £65 but was hoping for slightly more. Nigel is MASSIVE, makes me smile whenever I look at it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
