Default WTB: road frame, 55cm, prefer perth


Hi,

I had a frame I was going to build up, and its about an 1" too small
for me, although will do in a pinch. Instead, does anyone have anything
that would meet the criteria for sale?

55cm frame, im not unusually freakish in leg or arm length, please
provide as full measurements as possible
Steel: prefer 853, will consider alternatives
suit 1" fork (preferably)

Must be in good nick, no crash jobs. I have at my disposal currently a
fairly complete groupset and 1" forks.

Ta,

I suspect you are looking for a 'quality' frame. However, if you ar
looking for a bargain, have you had a look at the police auctions.
Often over 100 bikes. Usually low end or ancient, but there may be
treasure in there one day or you might find a cheap but OK frame tha
can host your components while you wait for a good frame to turn up

In Perth, Broughtons were the auctioneers. You could get on th
auctioneer's email list and they would send you a list of bikes to b
auctioned. They have now changed to Ross's Auction
http://www.rossauction.com.au

You can still subscribe and they will email the auction catalogue t
you. The next auction is 2 Feb and you can lodge absentee bids

I've been to a few viewings but never been excited enough to go to th
auction proper to bid. But one day...
