***SOLD***
With regret, I'm selling this beautiful handmade, fillet brazed Reynolds 853 George Longstaff frame. I don't have the money or the space to build it up
Before I crack on with the description, the price. I'd like £250 posted please, or £230 collected from St Albans/London St Pancras railway station. *** NOW £180 collected, £205 posted***
It's 52cm square, though with the dropped toptube standover is greater than you'd expect - the toptube meets the seat tube at 46cm. The dropped toptube also means the effective/horizontal toptube length is longer at 54.5cm. Headtube length is 100mm.
It needs repainting, or some serious restoration of the paint. In particular there's some rust around the top of the seat tube and the holes for the internally routed rear brake cable. Restoration would be ideal, as the Longstaff logos are painted on - not stickers. There's also some lovely lug lining around the bottle bosses.
It takes a braze on front mech, a 1" headset, a 27.0mm seatpost and a 130mm spaced rear wheel. From the serial number I think it was built in 1998.
The price include a brand new and unused 1" threadless carbon fork with an uncut aluminium steerer. There's also some headset cups in the frame, but only because I don't have a tool to remove 1" ones.
