rob, you need some google lessons.

looks nice, fun ride if its your size. I’d pay £70 delivered for it. If you’re looking to spend £200 on steel it better be high spec or something special. I’m rebuilding a peugeot vitus frame, 56cm if its of interest… looking for less than £200!

I had one recently. It was heavy and had twitchy handling.

Paid £50 with a spare set of wheels for mine.

that is just a stock pic – sorry

it’s still not worth £200

If you are who you say you are – build your own 😀

Too small but immaculate! Even included the original pump and ever ready lights!

15 years ago I bought a higher spec used 531 Dave Marsh for the same money. That is not worth £200. I gave the frame away for a small charity donation.

Why does asking 200 quid make someone a w***er ?I agree that its too much money but its up to him how much he asks for it !

sorry, I should have said ‘a profiteering w anker’. 😀

Is that virus mentioned above not a bonded alloy frame.

Dont worry Ton I cant see anyone paying 200 quid for that anyway!

Peugeot PFN10 with Vitus 171 tubes, Steel, not dissimilar to reynolds 531 IIRC. If it were bonded alu then that would be more interesting!
