In an effort to try to get things moving, I'm posting a couple of pics of my "to be" workshop. Right now, its just a corridor with a load of tat piled up in it. But someday soon it will be my workshop, oh yes! We have electrics (at the moment, just evidenced by one bulkhead light) - sorry, M_V. I'll either build or buy a good bench, and then start acquiring the rest of the bits I need.

Shimano Tiagra 9-speed, all working nicely but I treated my winter bike to something shinier:
Brifters, ST-4501 with a bit of a tear in the left-hand lever hood £15
Rear mech, RD-4600 in v good condition £10
Front mech, band on for 31.8mm, FD-4600, in good condition, £7Unbranded dual pivot brake calipers with shoes, £10
Or take the whole lot for £30. I'll give priority to anyone taking the whole lot.
All prices include postage. -
Price drop: £150
Any interest or offers before I am forced to take this piece of late 80s magnificence to the 'bay?

The frame is still available, yep.
Rear dropout width is 126mm.In terms of sizing, the seat tube measured Centre to Top (like the diagramme above) is 600mm, give or take. The top tube is 580mm, so its definitely a 60cm according to the diagramme.
I measure all my bikes CtC, hence the thread title - and its the first time I have seen that geo chart, so thanks for posting it.

Well, it turns out you can fit a 28mm in both front and rear - Clement Strada LLG was the one I had available, and I'll stick in a photo or three, but there's about 3-4mm at the chainstay, and 2-3mm at the fork.
Yes, its standard 365mm axle to crown. I did consider getting a pair of the older Peugeot chrome forks; the ones with the external lug have a good deal more space between the blades for wider tyres. -
Aw, thanks. Its lovely in summer. But the lane to get up here is a b!tch with a standard chainset. Compact all the way for me now...
I need to sell the climbing stuff. That was a lifetime ago! Its a bit daunting, to be honest. So much stuff to sort through... And I have to find somewhere to relocate it all.
