Budget is a good point. Not looking for something really cheap, or very rare/exclusive. Anything with nice tubing and lugs, or more recent TIG weld frames. Fair going rate for fair condition etc.
Brakes - Cantis are fine, centre-pulls are lovely, deep-drop calipers are OK too.
Wheels - if...
Looking for a base for a road/touring project -
Must have
* semi-sloped dropouts so it can be run single-speed
* clearance for 700 x 28 and guards or more
* steel fork
* 57 - 58cm TT
Bonus for
* band-on shifter mounts and FD cable guides i/o brazed-on
* dropout screws for chain tension /...
Re: Re:
Swap your silver 1 1/8 for my red 1 1/8? Would be a fair swap, yes. The red one I have has had some use but isn't scratched, bearings smooth, has been in a spares box for a long time.
Re:
I have a great cond 1 1/8" ahead original in red, swap for something else. Green, brown, black, turquoise?
Also a 1 1/8" silver ahead pretty much as new, fitted but under 500 miles on the bike it came off, that I'd swap for 1" silver ahead.
Re:
Hi
Possibly interested - could you confirm C-C top tube and C-T seat tube dimensions to be sure which size it is? Original 58cm spec looks good for me. Thanks

No rush, just a bump reminder : ) as it could be ideal.
Frame number might be useful also as Roberts could have the build spec on file (if you don't already have it)
Thanks - useful. I modelled the frame in BikeCAD and based on the head tube and top tube lengths given, plus those approx angles, the effective top tube length will be ~20mm too long for me. Works out around 590mm ETT or just over. I can send you a screen grab of the BikeCAD layout if it's of...
Re:
Hi - I'm looking for something just like that, what size is it pls? ST/TT mainly. Looks a bit small perhaps, I'm after a 57-58. Really nice frame though!
Re: Steel F+F Audax/fast tourer frame/set wanted
Hi Mat, that looks good, interested. Any references back to the original spec and geometry would be useful.
Looking for a steel frameset for rim brakes, somewhere along the line between an Equilibrium 853 or a lugged level top tube audax/light touring frameset from a custom builder. Full bike possibly of interest - wouldn't discount it if the frameset was right.
Frame or frame+forks, either of...
