Wanted: small steel mountain bike frame

[ChrisFerg]

Hi all,

We're getting ready for a big tour next year (from the UK to Japan!), and were planning on using some nice retro steel MTB frames for it. I recently got a lovely orange clockwork through here (thanks TheGreenRabbit!), and we had a nice Marin frame for my partner. Unfortunately, we just found a crack in the Marin, so we're back to looking for a frame for her.

The Marin was 14" bb-c, approx. 15" bb-top, and that seemed to fit her pretty well (she's 5'2"). Anyone have anything that would be a decent replacement? We're based in Brighton, but will be travelling around a lot by car around Christmas (to see family in Swansea, Edinburgh, and Wiltshire), so we might be able to work something out if you have something further away from us.

Thanks a lot!
Chris

Nice steel Fuji?

Quite fitting for it to be going back to Japan!

Re:

Have an old specialized hardrock frame that’s 14” I think.

Bump - still looking! Small frames seem to be hard to find!
