Overbury's Pioneer Frameset

[mrkawasaki]

Stripped and painted/gloss coated under my ownership a delicious pistachio green, this 18" Pioneer remains in fabulous condition. Selling as a frame and fork with new BB and headset in situ. Dimensions are 22" effective top tube and 18 1/2" from centre of BB to top of seat tube. Ridden once at a Mayhem since being built, has no dints or chain suck. Three very minor and discrete chips (see following detailed photos) short of being perfect. Serial number is 2A40 - unsure whether this is a 531/Columbus mix. For reasons I cannot now remember I believed this was a 1988/89 year. Maybe experts can enlighten us?

Can add pristine black u-brake if required for a further £10.

Asking £295 posted within the UK - REDUCED TO £225 POSTED WITHIN THE UK.
Dibs does not necessarily mean 'sold' - just PMs preferred please.

Will leave the all-important Retrobike Rider sticker in place but will remove the years-old Malvern mud...

Re:

Was this a 'small-ish' fit for you Neil?

ie. would it likely be a good fit for me, or slightly too large...?

Looks like it might just be do-able, but at the same time, might be just a little too much...

Really like the colour !

 

[mrkawasaki]

Yes - definitely always too small for me. I've now acquired a bigger one to build up - hence this sale (here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=365624). Dunno about your size Tom - 22" effective top tube x 18" seat tube. Colour is a very midlands willow green...

Re:



Do you have the gubbins left to do the drop bar as you used to have it in previously [in the link you posted] or have they been reappropriated...?

Seatpost diameter...?

 

[mrkawasaki]

I probz have the stem but the dirt drops went onto another bike... Seat post size will have to wait until daylight (but it will be 27.2).
