In the pictures it's absolutely gorgeous! I can't quite make out the colour though - is it dark green as in the second picture?

Oh sorry - the OLN I'm after is the distance between the inner edges of the rear dropouts. Measured to the mm if that's okay please

 

[timkich]

its dark green and it measures 12mm hope this helps

Either 12mm is a typo or you slightly misunderstood EPR. OLN is the distance between the left & right drop outs. It's needed so you know what width hub will fit the lovely frame you're selling.

Apologies if I'm teaching grandma to suck eggs!

OLN is Over Lock Nut and refers to the width of a hub not the width between dropouts, my guess is this frame is 120mm between dropouts.

Looks like a nice frameset, too big for me though.

Sorry, just to clarify. . .

The abreviation is actually OLD, meaning 'over locknut dimension' and is not the width of the hub nor the spacing of the rear dropouts, it is the distance between the outer face of the locknut on one side of your rear axle to the outer face of the locknut on the other side.

So a lot of modern mtb frames will be designed for wheels with 135mm OLD which subsequently means that the distance between the dropouts on said frame, if measured, would roughly be 135mm.

It is more than likely that the size predicted by Jon will be correct.

Anyway . . . lovely frame, shame I am already out of cash this month.
