  1. I picked up a bike today at the auction: just a standard Raleigh 23" 501 frame, shifters on down
    tube, 6 block on back etc...

    I got it for the wheels, which are q-release 700, to replace either the 27" wheels on my Schwin or
    my bodged up mtb/tourer...so I'm keeping the wheels...and probably the brakes too.

    Point is, this bike is quite a nice bike, although obviously dated, it's nice and light and handles
    real well.

    It seems a shame to dump it but living only in a one-bedroon flat with no garage or out building, I
    just don't have the space to store anything, so it will have to go.

    I doubt anytbody does, but if anybody does want this frame for nowt then just email me....I'm based
    in Chesham, Bucks, near Watford.

    cheers bob

    Quite right, shame to see it go to waste. If I were closer to you I'd take it like a shot, would
    probably be perfect for converting cheaply into a fixer for me to play with.

    Perhaps if you get no takers from here, you could see if there's a local CTC group or cycling club
    that you could email?

  3. Opps...guess i should have given this a closer inspection before posting this message, but this
    frame is a no-goer, on closer inspection it has a slight split in the frame, so it's taken it's rest
    with the other 'bikes in the sky'.

    Sorry about wasting bandwidth!!
