  Had this siting in a shed for awhile, had plans to build up for a family member but I doubt if that will ever happen.
  So, we have:
  A vintage (early 90s) Trek Antelope bike. Tubing is steel (Prestige ) and the frame size is 14.5. So would suit someone up to 5ft 5".
  Has eyelets for racks and mudguards and there's a set of guards to go with it.
  Everything : stem & seatpost move.

  Spare set of wheels and I have some , other 26" tyres to go with it.

  Also have some other parts that may be useful.

  Yours for £30 + beers
  With the other parts available for more beer.
  A great project, can be restored, become a parent bike, or tourer.

  All of this can be found in E10.

  I think it will be too big.

  Have you tried Racer Rosa in Walthamstow.
  You may have to wait but Diego can find you such a frame for 2k or less.

  Otherwise have you tried Daccordi?

  Ah, this build takes me back.

  I had a Countryman brought from Bike UK whose first shop was next to Charing cross station underneath a building in Villiers Street. It was a very noticeable metallic pink. This was in 1983.

  Touring bikes hadn't moved to triples or cantilevers yet . TA and Stronglight chainsets were exotica that Chris Juden mentioned in the pages of Cycle Touring.

  A lovely bike which I commuted and toured on, including cycle camping or what we now call bike packing.

  Looks like a sensitive restoration, especially the Sanyo Dynamo.
