I'm realistically not going to build this up again any time soon, and I have too many old TT frames.
Orbit Tri 650 frame in 531c tubing. 57cm-ish seat tube centre-to-centre, 60cm top to bottom, 53cm-ish top tube centre to centre.
£60 £50 £40 collected from north London (N17). I can't post I'm afraid.
Takes 650c wheels, as the name suggests. Not immaculate by any means, quite a few little chips in the paint and a few spots of surface rust. Have tried to photograph the worst (under the rear brake bridge and on one of the seat stays where it meets the seat tube).
Headset is very grouchy and needs a full strip down, maybe a replace. Bottom bracket I'd ride on, but I tend to ride things until they fall apart.
I'm being pretty down on this, but it is a lovely frame. I had it as my ride around London bike for a while and would happily put it back together to do that again.
I have the 650c wheels I used for that, which I could let go of for another £60. Again - they're not perfect. Small amount of play in one of them I think.
As a bonus though - this is still going so if anyone wants it you can have a free old Marin frame too when you collect...
