Calm down chaps - we don't want to reunite him with it! He probably let it get into the sorry state it's currently in!

I bet 'we' don't !

this one is staying in the retro fold and never to see the light of evil bay or the man who neglected it,

Thank god for that

Great news... for my two pennarth... there's nothing like sending off a tired frame to a firm like Argos and then being like a kid on Christmas morning when it comes back like new!

Completely agree. You definitely don't get that feeling when its been at Colour Tech :? :x

It's even better when you see the framebuilder brazing on the new bits and you then get to pick it up in person.

Sorry, smug ' I live close to Argos' post.

Mind you, when I opened the box with my DB in, that was a :shock: moment.

Look forward to the build thread on this bike..... whoever it belongs to.

Looks like you've got a Mavic bottom bracket there as well as the headset.
A bit mashed around the lock-rings alas, but has replaceable bearings and mounts without using the b/b threads.
The cartridge bearings are an odd size if I recall - mix of metric and imperial.
It might be a worth while punt onto ebay for folk wanting to savea frame with wrecked b/b threads.

If it is salvageable then I'd be interested as I have a frame with aforementioned problematic bb threads - that's assuming the threads in your Lloyd are good.

It looks like there is sufficient left for a reasonable spanner to engage in the notches - they are quite deep. I wonder what the holes for the peg spanner are like?

Ordinary b/bs can be refitted in Mavic'ed frames.
