Sorted 58-60cm frame and fork with eyelets for restomod winter bike respray project - tattier the better

[sjcprojects]

I'm after a 58-60cm frame and fork (531 or anything of similar quality) for a restomod winter bike project, so needs eyelets for mudguards, and to be recessed-nut compatible. Edit - also needs to be for caliper brakes, not cantis. Other than that, as it'll be a respray, it can be as tatty as anything, really.

I'm hoping someone might have a rough-looking frame and fork languishing at the back of the shed/garage I can bring back to life?

Thanks

Hmmm...that ticks a lot of the boxes and is a very fair price. The only thing is that I'm not a massive fan of canti brakes, so I was thinking calipers (maybe should have said that in my post...might have to edit that ).

Interesting that you have/had 105 shifter levers on there, though, as that's what I'll be using. I thought the pull would be wrong for cantis with those, but I guess not?

Thanks for the reply - I've now edited my original post to say for caliper brakes only. A bit ironic that yours has clearly had the braze ons added later. Without those, it would have been a good candidate...

It would take caliper brakes if you wanted. Best of both worlds

Yes, I suppose that is true! I couldn't really live with the unused mounts, though, aesthetically speaking.

Good to know, thanks. The thing is that I have a full 105 groupset so I'm pretty keen to keep it all together for this build. Also I'm in no rush so I guess I'll just keep an eye out for something right as well as seeing if anyone else has a shed lingerer they can release into the wild...naturally I have a few myself, but none quite right for this build.

I have a Concorde Mistral (repainted) frame and fork.
Will post a pic tomorrow.
edit; it's 60CM.
I'll post a pic of how I rode it. (with MTB bits and 2 front)





Same frame.
