Early 80s Steel MTB Bike or Frameset - 21" - SORTED

[chronohobbler]

I'm after an early 80s MTB/ATB frame either fully lugged or fillet brazed with a lugged/biplane fork crown, e.g.

- Diamondback Ridge Runner/Mean Streak
- Saracen Conquest
- Motobecane Mt-Becane
- Specialized Stumpjumper
- S&G Araya Muddy Fox
- Univega Alpina
- Schwinn High Sierra
- Overburys Crossfell
- anything else similar

Interested in full bikes or framesets with 21" seat tube.

Not fussed about paint condition but no cracks/dents/bends and looking for something reasonably high quality, so decent tubing, with forged dropouts etc. Must have braze ons for rear rack and bonus points for lowrider mounts!

PM me. Cheers!

Re: Frameset

I've got a 20" Univega Alpina 500 Racelite frameset. Too small for you?

Yeah, afraid so. I'm on the upper end of a 21".

Large - check

Early 80's - not quite

Quality tubing - Columbus OR Cromor

Portage strap - bonus points?

Low rider braze-ons - Super Bonus points!

Bi-plane fork - sadly no
