As per title, I'm after a 20.5" Marin frameset (i.e. 20.5" ctc). Not really fussed, but would prefer something mid or upper range and preferably steel, must have rigid forks with the frame (too much bother sourcing some otherwise) and preferably looking at late 80's, early 90's. I have a soft...

@Mike Muz - yep, tall mutated frog! @Karlos, Sent you a PM last week - as mentioned, I'm interested in the frame, fork, headset, stem and BB if you decide to split.

If you end up splitting, I would be interested in Frame, Forks, Stem and bars for the right price...

@stewlewis - I will check those measurements against other bikes in my stable and get back to you.

Yes, you are right to stomp off muttering :lol: I am a "mid-range" brand snob! However, I would be tempted if it was the Quattro e-stay, so in my defence, I'm not a complete brand snob!

@paddlingpool - Thanks, right size but a bit pricey for me, I'm afraid. @Antstark - Thanks, I'll bear it in mind, but probably a bit too "slack" angle-wise for this build - I have plenty of "comfortable" bikes at the moment!

Thanks for the offers, folks....replies as follows: @skolioza - Thanks, but Giant's are normally my thing, and ideally wanted something with rigid forks. @shed - already have a Zasker in the stable, so looking for something a bit different. Cheers anyway. @LGF - Carerra isn't a brand that...

Looking to build something out of the spares I have lying around.... So, I am after a 21" or bigger (preferably bigger - I am 6'4"!) frame and fork set. Bring those old "gates" out of hiding - even those 23" ones! Ideally, I'm after a steel frame (but may consider Alu) - a Marin 20.5" would be...

That's why I love this site - someone can ID a relatively rare bike from a few specks of paint on a roughass photo. Fantastic!

Re: STOLEN SOUTH MANCHESTER - PLEASE READ! As said by others, that blows....wish you good luck in finding them. I'm in South Manchester as well, so will keep an eye out... From your description, it seems as though you were "targeted" - I can understand a common thief taking full bikes etc...

Agreed....looks a similar colour to the Trekkers of old (maybe a bit faded) but I also always remember Trekkers of that vintage having a rear wishbone as well. So no idea - could be an end-of-line parts-bin raid "Limited Edition" that Saracen were renowned for (but they tended to be Black for...

Re: Large (21"+) Frame and Forks wanted - anything "interest @LGF - Thanks for the offer, but not really after a Carrera - might have been tempted if it still had the Spinners on! @Raiden73 - Thanks for the offer - would normally be interested but have a number of Raeighs in the...

Re: Large (21"+) Frame and Forks wanted - anything "interest Tempting, but already got a MF in the fleet (an 89 as well!), so looking for something a bit different. Cheers anyway.

Re: Large (21"+) Frame and Forks wanted - anything "interest Thanks for the offer, but a little bit too "new" for me. Cheers.

Re: Large (21"+) Frame and Forks wanted - anything "interest Not quite what I'm looking for at the moment as it's a little too "upright" for what I want it for, but that's a real beauty. I'm in the process of thinning down the fleet, so I might be back to you in a month or so if...

Re: Large (21"+) Frame and Forks wanted - anything "interest Thanks for your reply, but got a couple of Cannondales in the stable, so looking for something a bit different.

Re: Large (21"+) Frame and Forks wanted - anything "interest Hi, I'm interested, as had never owned a Kona - can you confirm the exact CTT measurement - I have a couple of 20" frames that come up too small for me, and wanted to check as I know Konas tend to be on the smaller size...

Absolutely....that has to be one of the best first posts I've read on this site.

I've got lots of spares kicking around, so thought it was time to start another build.... I'm after a fully rigid Frame and Fork set in 21" or bigger (I'm a lanky get!) I'm after something mid or upper range (no gas pipe examples, please!) in either steel or Alu (pref steel, but Alu is OK as...

Ooooh...looks nice....couple of years newer than I was after but am definitely interested...any BIN price in mind for RetroBikers? (Oh, and I'd need it posted). Cheers.
