Brian Rourke frames wanted

[Ibby4585]

Hi.

I am after a Brian Rourke frame to build up during this summer. Frame size needs to be 52cm to 54cm

Best original condition possible but anything considered.

Based in Oxfordshire UK.

Cheers

Frame size needs to be 52" to 54"

You must be some tall?

Haha yes. Bloody phone.

Re:

Hi
52/54 is pretty small in old frames. Can I ask how tall you are? I have a 22” that I Amy part with. Just refinished in its original colours by Rourke.

I'm 5 9" but long body short leg.

That's a nice frame.

Re:

There is a small one on eBay at the moment. Colours are a bit of an acquired taste (90s flouro) but at the £200 asking price you could get it re-finished at Rourke's for probably another £200.

I think the eBay frame is worth £150 - worth offering that to the seller.

I'm wrestling with the idea of parting with it and I'm not there yet = the frame owes me £170 plus £230 to renovate. I had a small dink on the top tube filled with brass (made by the bars) and the lugs lined in white and cut outs flooded.

As a guide, I sold this the frame on this listing for £350 on eBay. The guy just banged a cheap Veloce groupset on it and listed it for an unrealistic price. I generally pay from £100 for a frameset needing restoration and they cost anything from £150 -£250 to restore. I tend only to buy if the chrome is decent
