Wanted - A decent cheap bike or frame
September 03, 2012, 10:51:49 pm

Im after a new bike, I have most of a bike in bits but am lacking a decent frame, im not after anything too exciting, something like a Merlin Malt 2?  A fairly good aluminium hardtail, preferably with V-brake mounts rather than discs.

Anyone have anything they are looking to get rid of? Either full bike or frame or bits?

Oh and im 6'4" so preferably a fairly large size frame.

Cheers

Si

I've got an oldish aluminium hardtail Saracen frame, i's been collecting dust for a while. I think it's a large, will try and find out for you.
