Hey All-

I’m currently hunting a 68ish cm touring / sport touring frameset or 24” MTB frameset. Think 80’s steel. I’m looking for something to build into a basket or hill bike. Used and a little rough around the edges is on, but not looking for anything dented or rusted.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

I've been meaning to build up this frame for several years, but just haven't gotten to it. 

Bridgestone frame powdercoated by Pike Powdercoaters in Allston. Can peel off the stickers.
67cm ST, 62cm TT, 44cm CS, 1085cm WB. Should fit 700cX40 w/ fenders (or 650bX50). 
Needs 65F/60R brake reach. Seatpost/stem diameters are somewhat unsusual.
92cm standover w/ 700cX23 tires. 125mm rear spacing.
Was asking $200 locally, but negotiable w/ boxing/shipping by others.

Similar to Forbes's frame here:

I could sell just the FF\H for $200 plus shipping. Will take at least 32s.

Wow, that's cool, Evan.  Did the OP show any interest?

I have a 1980's Nishiki that's been outfitted for touring. I borrowed some parts from it for my 1975 Jim Merz, but it's mostly complet about 68cm ST and 60cm TT.  2.jpg8.jpg

Evan - is that powder-coated Bridgestone still available?
