  This frameset has spent years (edit: 7 to be precise) accumulating dust in my workshop, I never got round to making it into a beautiful bike like @Tijs' and there's lots of other projects going on.

  It's Tange steel, paintjob is still pretty good, it has a couple of scuffs on the rear triangle but I wouldn't paint it over and keep it like this for sure. Comes with original U-brake and stem, as pictured.

  Seat tube (measured center-center) 53 cm
  Top tube (measured center-center) 57 cm

  Looking for €125

  Shipping cost to be arranged later, depending on whereabouts of buyer, I expect around €45 to the UK should do. I have no idea of the amount of tax is added (in UK) for buying this from me in NL.

  Questions? Just ask!

  echoing the previous post, it's been 15 years of great fun and I'm very, very sad to see LFGSS fall victim to bullshit laws made by people with no understanding at all of what kind of place the internet can and should be. Thank you for making this place the best @Velocio (though I'm still hoping for a solution, this feels so unjustified).

  Space Karen's now banging on about Starmer's 'complicity in mass rapes in exchange for votes' in reaction to one Martin Daubney's tweet about '1000s of British girls who were raped by Pakistani gangs'

  I may have missed a news item or two, but this comes across as epic WTF material.

  Heads up: Wout vs Mathieu day today, cyclocross Loenhout, with probably lots of mud and drunk people.

  That's a pity. Was really looking forward to seeing him competing in the mud (or sand) again.
  At this weekend's 2 great races in a row for instance, Hulst & Zonhoven
