I have a couple on my sales thread: http://www.lfgss.com/thread103905.html

wow. Respect to you mate

yes, all the wheels are 700c (except for the ones on the kids bike of course!)

I also have a pair of those Saucony running spikes in size 10, also £25 please! They're in great shape.

I have some tiagra cranks with a tiny chainring for like £20ish?

I have some sprint drops I could do for £15 posted

Will do, cheers :)

Texting radio 1? really? wow

@anagrama you're absolutely right on the frame number front. I am quite convinced of what it is now :) The thing is I've seen good condition frames like this one for £140 and just a paint job is more than that so it's uneconomical otherwise i'd love to save it

well if somebody has a racing/track frame around 56-58cm seat tube I'm all for a swap, but I can't see anybody else wanting to spend like £400 on getting a 531 frame done up when they could just get a brand new one

the email I got was from someone named Debbie, who didn't comment on whether Mr Yates built it originally. What I quoted was essentially the whole email, she was very brief.

Yeah well I have just heard back from dave yates on repairs...
"We can only give firm costs on inspecting your frame but guide prices would be £130 for a new seat tube (excluding any braze-ons) and from £168 for re-painting. It may well be possible to repair your existing seat tube, approx. cost would be £50. New forks are from £180. "
I absolutely do not have that kind of money, so I might just cut it up for my bamboo project anyway.

also have a 26.6 sugino seatpost, fluted so looks quite nice. some insertion marks, and a scratch on the rear side. £10

Not really a sale, but does anybody want to set me up with a job either in a biology/chemistry lab or a caring role (eg healthcare assistant etc) for about 5 or 6 months? I'm going to be on my gap yah after my summe exams and help would be much appreciated!

I didn't coldset, it is a bit too final/dangerous for me, I just pulled it apart with my hands each time I put the wheel on or took it off

I have stretched the dropouts on 531 frames many many times. Can be a bit annoying if you get a puncture and it is hassle to do, but so long as you have the strength to do it it's fine.

I have a bike, 2 frames and lots of parts for sale here :https://www.lfgss.com/thread103905.html

I'm in cambridge though so may have to post

My grandparents live near Bristol, I could see if they feel brave enough to meet up with you for me! Either one of the 56cm ones would be great, don't suppose you have a pic? Thanks ever so much!

the most complex tool I own is a file so I think I'll stick to bamboo for now ;)

yeah, the one I have is pretty crap, not suitable for me as the bottom bracket shell is an odd size and it is bent slightly. Probably not worth your while either tbh, I just thought I would mention it. I might see if ffm feels like posting but I doubt it, and I can't get to london!
Did you make that tube yourself?

sounds good! I have an oregon bike camera I could lend you, it's pretty easy to use

I have one with a cracked screen and a broken aerial, £300?

might have one, but it wont be particularly great. I'll take a pic in a bit.

still looking for a broken/crap frame from which I can salvage bb headtube and dropouts, preferably 56-58cm seat tube and with decent geometry :)

Hey, I've been donated a rather lovely frame which I think is too lovely for my first bamboo project. As such I will probably get it repaired, so if anybody has anything else that would suit me that would be fantastic!

If you want threadless, you may find it easier to find one that fits. Just make sure the steerer is long enough when considering headset, stem and spacers. A threaded one could be more difficult, I would go to a shop for that myself
