wanted frame 17" yeti, fat chance, bontrager or similar,

[john wyatt]

Looking for a frame probably an American maker but would consider anything at all mid to high end, I am 5ft 8" so looking for something around average makers 17" has to be in decent condition but not probably not mint as it is for using, thanks John, max. budget is £500

i have this bonty frame, well under your budget, i'm 5'9" and the built pic is with the saddle height is right for me, it's 17.25" c-c on the seat tube but 19" to the top but the seat tube passes quite alot through the top tube junction, so is smaller than it sounds.

Hello John,

Perhaps seen you've already? I have FAT Chance Yo Eddy & Bonty Ti advertised over in the classifieds, although both needed a little restoration work to make good

 

[john wyatt]

Thanks I've considered both, I am 5 8" so both maybe slightly large, additionally all the bits I have set aside for build is 1 1/8th, cheers for pointing them out both look great projects
