All PMs replied

160 anyone ?

165

170 anyone?

Standover height is 82cm aprox 32 inches. I am not particularly keen on spliting it into parts but may consider if you make a good offer for the parts you want. hope it helps.

another vote for bb. even though it looks alright it is likely to be a culprit here.

how about 175 ?
it's a nice ride, 531 frame...

180 for a nice carlton

price drop 185 :-)

details are as follows

FRAME: Carlton Ten 1970s Reynolds 531. 60cm seat tube , 56cm top tube.Original paintwork is a bit rough with surface rust here and there but in my opinion still quite good for a 1970s jobie. The frameset is structurally fine. No cracks, no rust perforations, no seized bits or any other issues.

a bit more on the frameset can be found here:

Collection from Reading Berkshire. Half hour train ride from London Paddington. I am happy to meet you at the station.

I am available for viewing on weekdays after 5 and most of the day during the weekends.

Any questions please feel free to ask via PM.

Thank you very much for looking

RIP Henry
Deeply saddened by the tragedy.
Condolences to family and friends.

that's quite odd. AFAIK most pugs got standard size threads on their cranks as long as the cranks are their original ones. have you tried another crank extractor tool? try maybe a local bike shop. they might do it for a fiver. The very last resource is an angle grinder.

why don't you look at wisp frames on the bay. not to bad for the price.

going to use this method, can someone please confirm for me that it wont damage my chromoly frame, bit nervous!

caustic soda will not damage your Cr-Mo steel frame. However it may dull your paintwork where it comes to contact.

shimano is a good and cost effective solution for your freewheel.

If this isnt already sold I will take this off your hands. Can collect pretty much anytime, I'm London based. Cheers

Sold to PocketFull :-)

If you wish i can put it back to all pink version.

hope it helps

not sure if those security quick release skewers have strong enough grip for fixed gear. there are special security nuts available though from good ironmongers stores.

I am convinced you'll be alright with that. Ride in good health :-)

top tube measures 53cm :-)

Comute /ride around town [London].

Is this difficult?

Thanks..

Not difficult at all. it just takes a few narrow spanners, a bit of grease, an old rag and a bit of patience. here is your how to:
