Touring frameset, classic British; Carradice Super C luggage

[EPR]

Hi there,

Looking for something purpose-built and nice

Anything out there with the following specs?:

- 54-57cm c-t-c toptubes and seatubes (may be able to stretch or condense my legs if it's particularly nice )
- Double eyelets
- Pannier mounts on seatstays and lowrider mounts on forks
- Mounts for canti brakes
- Two or three sets of bottle cage bosses
- Clearances for 700x28-32 with mudguards
- Decent tubing (Reynolds e.g. 531db/st, Columbus SL, etc.)

Pluses would be:
- 27.2 seatpost
- BSA bottom bracket threads
- Chrome detailing (forks and rear triangle)

I'd love something along the lines of a Woodrup, Bob Jackson, or Mercian. Condition of the paint job really doesn't matter, I'm a fan of patina and on a student (well, recent graduate) budget anyway!

Am also looking for some Carradice Super C panniers in decent condition. A rear pair (54l I believe) is the priority, but will consider front ones too.

Thanks for any help!

Nothing to do with me, just spotted it - not sure it's 'student budget' though!

Thanks for the heads up! That's absolutey lovely and exactly the kind of thing I'm after except, as you said, it's far too nice to be student friendly haha

Yeah, I'm not a student any more, but I had exactly the same thought!

Bump - have had a bit of a hiccup with my current touring build so this has gone from being a possible upgrade to being a necessary replacement. Anything welcomed at this point!

Bump - still looking for a frameset. Have something to get me by but it's a touch too big
