Original thread below, but I'm now selling on behalf of another member, it is still in my workshop as pictured.
Bit of a sad story this, but read on listeners. Bought this frame from a member a year or so back, lovely 18 inch medium Parkpre Pro Elite. Sadly when it landed, upon buffing up the frame, noticed a fine crack around the weld on the driveside chainstay/BB shell intersection.
How this had occurred is unclear and irrelevant really, but the frame was well packed and the box appeared undamaged.
Contacted the seller with a photo, who immediately reimbursed me and asked if he could have the frame back so would send a courier.
Months marched on and I didn't receive a ticket for postage back, so contacted the seller and offered him a lower price, pending me being able to get a reasonable quote for a repair.
This I managed but the repairer (unfair to name) wouldn't guarantee it, but it was professionally repaired and involved a couple of long distance drives, delivering and collecting.
Sadly after building the bike up, the crack moved through into the new weld after a few rides!
Was heartbroken, as it rides really well.
Size is 18 centre to top and 22 top tube ctc More images on page 2 of the thread
Rather than it just let it lie in the workshop, cluttering up the place, I am offering this for sale at "salvage" price to members, really difficult to value, but other than the small crack, it is very good condition and could be worth the risk of another repair, or garage queen/Wall art? So first to come up with £100 plus post gets it. UK ONLY.
Interest on here then pm as usual please, no dibs. Pics below
