Google has failed me , could someone tell me what a slum frame is ?
I have seen it used in a few places and don't understand.

"Set for me at 5.10. In lovely condition. 1 stone chip pictured. San marco saddle on a marin post. Very light slum frame with trek carbon forks with hertz insets. Lovely pair of fulcrum wheels which "

The above is an example from an ebay description, I have seen it used a few times while looking for road bikes. It may be one of those auto correct things .

Slim?

Could be :-)

Probably meant to be "alum"? The a and s keys are next to each other.

Aluminium

Sounds like a bit of a mish mash of a bike!
Hertz insets (zertz) are specialized, not trek
Maybe it is a slum frame!

Think this refers to bikes from Manchester.

+1 for misspell of alu (somehow?)

It is a bike made from various manufacturers parts , I must admit to being intetested in it :-)
The frame is one of those Planet x Italian warehouse takeover frames (SAB) . I have seen the term used on a web page bike review as well but can not find it :-(
I think the miss spelling looks favorite , slim i and u next to one another, sounds good to me .

I think it may have come from motorcycling.
