bump

no joy on ebay, so I'd accept around £250 for this if anyone's interested in a project (or can be arsed to split it & sell the bits )

i've offered it to a couple of people who PMed me originally, so they've got first dibs, I guess...

cheers, Rob

Thanks

Mick

 

[robgudgeon]

yep, it's still available

 

[Gruff]

if you do end up parting it out i'd be interested in the Suntour XC pro thumbies

Good luck with the sale though

 

[robgudgeon]

thanks; it's looking more & more like i'll have to part it to get some half-decent cash... watch this space

 

[CraigRobbo]

Still got this?

Open to any more offers?

I might be interested in the wheels...

It's the toptube cracks that have killed it.
Mine had a cracked BB, but it was welded and was fine. Obviously a big dent in the value, but still rideable.

This one has had it though. I'd be afraid to fart too hard incase some metal blew off.

Just a thought, but if it was mine and the frame is regarded as a scrapper, i'd cut out the section thats cracked, machine up a new piece of tubing and sleeve the insides, drill a couple of holes in the tubes so that you can rose weld them to secure the tubes(fill the holes with weld that'll secure both outside and inside/sleeved tube together), then weld all the way round each end of the inserted tube and then begin the task of cleaning it up so it looks respectable :shock: Probably best not to buy a frame off me, lolol.
But if its a scrapper then why not! Nothing to lose, but make sure it is definetely a scrap frame cos its alot of work! Oh i'm a welder btw

 

[jimmy5willy]

Nice idea, but the original bits of frame you weld your sleeve to are just as weak as the bit you're replacing.

End result = uber strong toptube, but something else will give. Headtube most likely.
