Road or off road?All I can say is, I go up every NY (my daughter lives way up north, now) and have been able to ride probably 70 per cent of the time. But you have to be prepared for snow, ice, awful weather and possibly abandoning plans, or revising at any rate. If you’re alone, make sure someone knows where you are and where you’re meant to be. We often go to the west coast, and the main roads are generally kept clear. Whether or not the weather is too grim depends on your tolerance and experience levels, and I don’t know what they are.

Should have said the frames are 58cm seat tubes

Does nobody want these? They are absolutely free. Just arrange to meet me at our container and pick them up. If we had the space, time and a bit of spare cash we’d definitely not let them go. We’d spend a bit of time and money freeing up the stuck parts and turning them into basic beater singlespeeds probably. Unfortunately, the people to whom we provide cheap refurbs don’t generally want fixed or singlespeed, so it's not worth Lewisham Cyclists while doing it.
If transport is a problem, I could drop them round to someone in our cargotrike, as long as it’s within a three miles radius of SE23. Would just really like someone to make use of these frames.

Also a wheel and a rim. Nothing special. If you take both, you can have them.

Lewisham Cyclists had a clear out and we have a couple of old steel 70’s or early 80’s frames that are in need of too much work for us to find the time to build up. First, a Raleigh Europa, quite a bit of surface rust, in need of a fair bit of work with some steel wool and with a stem that feels pretty seized. I have released something similar with weeks soaking in lemon juice, although can’t guarantee it would work with this. Second is a Falcon, possibly an Olympic. Quite nice looking and in better condition than the Europa but with a stuck seatpost. Free to anyone who can pick up and takeaway

Haven’t read this whole thread, so this may have been posted already, and I expect a lot of you have already seen it but Emily Chappell’s article in an old edition Casquette has helped a lot of women I work with understand their own particular needs much better. https://www.casquette.co.uk/know-how/2017/4/22/saddle-lore
