26er - 650b conversion I picked up a Velo Orange fork with loads of mounts on eBay a while back and been wanting to do a bike packing build with it for ages. Been keen to try a 26er-650b conversion and picked up this Genesis altitude 853 frame for £70. Managed to get 27.5x2.0 tyres with...

Yeah Klein looks nice! Think has modern race face, tempted to pick it up for £200 if that’s a good deal, little unsure as I don’t know much about Klein. Not sure on the white cow spots, guess this has been added?

Hey, think I’ve just found a similar Saracen at the local garage! Do you know if the head tube is 1 1/8? Thanks :)

My local garage have a couple of bikes in their yard, wondering if anyone can identify them? Looking to pick up one or both! Think I’ll defiantly get the Klein as always wanted one but I don’t know much about Saracen.

Haha gona say you can always shrink!

Hi, bike frame is available again :)

Having to move house very soon and got a frame that is just too big for me that won’t make the move! Size 19” large a very nice Orange 651 steel bike that takes 26” wheels. Very very little use, i never got round to fishing the build but looks like the person I got it from previously hardly...

This was kindly gifted to me by @iveto1983 and I used it for the past 8 months as a regular commuter but I’m moving to something a bit more relaxed for my hour+ commute! A very very nice frame with a fair bit of paint wear but holds up great! I will be removing the BB, headset, down tube cable...

26 inch wheel set with Disk mounts - £30 Rear hub is Shimano deore XT, front it blank by the looks of it. Rear wheel needs a little trueing as they seem to be well used and hubs a little sticky. I bought these for a build that never happened and doing a little new year clear out! Collection...

Hi there, was wondering if you still have your frame? Thanks :)

I havent had a chance to ride one. I have only seen Seabass Cycles in Peckham and a welder in Holland put them together. But they have build a fair few of them as people seem to like the cheaper alternative. Ill try find the persons blog who rides this bike I shared. I saw that she has recently...

Winter is approaching and looking to work on a new build whilst its so damp! I've wanted a cargo bike for a long time, being able to take the dog on rides and head out in the woods with him would be ideal! I've seen a lot of these modifications crop up with a surly 29er fork added to older 26er...

Hi, just wondering if any of your frames are. 1 1/8? Thanks :)

Hi Joni, wondering if you still have your frame? Planning on building up a bike and this would be perfect! I’m based in London as well :)

Hi Gary, have you got any of your orange jerseys left? Thanks :)
