Frame donation?

[Catrin]

That's a high-end frame set to give away.

Maybe we could all keep an eye out for someone who needs a very small bike, but can't afford to spend much, and you could sell it for a very reduced price. Kind of half donation half recoupment. Like, referral through TE. Shrug.

It's a shame. That is custom, but the TT and Head tube aren't really that unusual. Maybe saying it's custom is making people assume it won't work.

Another thought. I know some people on here know Georgina Terry, maybe she knows of someone who needs a great frame set, but can't afford one. Seems like she'd be up for something like that, from what I hear.

What are the effective TT and Head Tube heights again?

TT (theoretical) = 500 (I don't know the effective)
Head Tube length = 140
Standover = 730.2mm
Wheelbase = 990mm

It is a 1-off custom size, and needing to provide the key dimensions rather than a standard size probably hasn't helped. I would be open to something like what you suggest - it would be good to get at least some money for it - plus full shipping and packing costs. I wound up eating way too much in shipping costs when I sold all of the parts to the bike - the wheels especially. It would be good to see it go to someone who can appreciate it, for sure.

Theoretical and effective are the same thing, TTT is just a Waterford thing.

I'll start asking around; maybe we could try and network it.

Have you listed it as make an offer plus shipping?

Networking would be the best approach, I think. I've given up on Craigslist (just heard from those who wanted to steal it), and I couldn't even get any interest at all on eBay - even paid for my listing, I tried to list this frame on every site I could think of for months before giving up. Also hit the local Bike Trader, a regional mountain bike group, and Pink Bike. The PARTS sold pretty quickly.
