Yes - the frame is basically scrap.Maybe, like me, they didn't look at the last photo!
I saw that the other day. I might have bid on it if they offered delivery - and I was a bit suspicious about the claimed 63cm size. It doesn't look anything like that to me. Nice bike though and as you say a very good project. I like Carltons.
It's only a few miles from me so no problem picking it up.
Shame, because it is/was a quality frame. Although I'd be wary anyway due to the sellers lack of feedback and the grandad story.
Fabricating a backstory isn't unusual these days. I saw an ad on Facebook for a pair of 3-speed bikes. The seller said that he got them from an elderly family friend who could no longer use them. He had just bought them of Ebay, I posted a reply with the link to the add. The strange thing was that he was only making a £10-15 markup on the pair.
Hahaha... wanna borrow it then?Ah i forgot about that one
Yours looks a lot nicer though just needs some miles on it
