Evening all,
This is probably a big ask but I'm gonna stick it here just in case I get lucky!.
I've spent the summer haring about on an early 90s 653 frameset and thoroughly enjoyable it has been too. It's on the cosmetically challenged side so as winter approaches I've been thinking of getting it refurbed, trouble is by the time you add up prep, painting, and re-chroming it's going to get pricey.
So I thought I'd see if anyone has a nice quality steel frameset in great condition they'd like to sell instead.
What I'm hoping to find......
56cm C-C top tube for preference (anywhere between 55cm-56.5cm for the seat tube is cool).
Ideally built with Something along the lines of 653, 753, 853, Neuron, Nemo, Genius or Max
Campagnolo dropouts or similar quality.
It'd be nice if it had chromed dropouts and right chainstay (but not a deal breaker for the right frame).
1" threaded steerer preferred.
Lugged or fillet brazed.
Quality builder.
130mm rear spacing.
Finally, like I've said in the title in really nice condition, doesn't have to be NOS, but nice enough that I don't need to do anything other than spend a few winter days transferring the parts over.
Thanks for taking the time to read this right to the end. I look forward to hearing from you if you think you have something that will fit the bill.
Cheers Matt
