Rock Lobster frame £60 posted - Sold

[uktyler]

Been spending too much recently and this is just sitting around not getting built.

1994 in recent black powder coat and new decals. The frame is Tange d/b cromoly and probably not the 853 it claims to be. Size 16.5" CtC 18" CtT. Comes with square taper BB that spins fine.

Takes a 1" headset and a 68mm BB.

£70 posted, less if collected from Malvern. I don't really want to sell, but I have 3 rideable bikes and one build, so it won't get used.

Purchased from Makster, this frame has had a repair, see here for details:

What size headset does this take, fella?

1" headset and a 68mm BB.

I'll amend the first post to show that info, I'm always forgetting something.

Sus forks in 1" are rarer than 1 1/8th, but they are available. Some forks have replaceable steerer tubes, such as pace forks, so you should be able to find something to fit.

I was going to build it as a rigid, 1" rigid forks are pretty easy to find.
