Hello. Up for sale, my Scandal frame in excellent condition other than one scratch on the down tube next to the "O" of "On", and a scuff to the top tube where the brake levers spun round

I had helitape on the headset / chainstays, so no rubbage there to speak of, and no chips at all that I can see on the downtube underside. Pics are here.

Builds into a stupidly light bike, about 19 lbs even with workaday kit on it. I've only ever run it singlespeed but it does have the hanger for a mech. It'll be sorely missed but needs must and I'll have to press the Chameleon into SS mode this winter.

Comes with the On One seat clamp and the Ritchey WCS headset in the pix. Bearings in the headset are completely smooth.

Looking for £165 ovno posted, via PayPal Gift please. Pick up / drop off also a possibility as I cover a fair bit of the country while seeing various water companies

I'm in rustic Somerset, where every day is Talk Like A Pirate Day

A bit south of Frome / north of Yeovil. Heading up to Bradford via Leicester tomorrow. Where are you?

Hi Chris(Pitto), sorry for the slow reply - dinner and then more work

I've not heard back from cpChris as yet, and did have another contact via email (Mark) at the same time (about 4 hours ago) who's also interested, but nothing firm from either so currently an offer from you would be the first.

What height are you out of interest? I ride a 56 road frame and a medium mtb race bike. Also ride a 15.5 cove for fun day outs. Just wondering how it would suit? Does it size up small or large. Finally is it a 26 or 29er?

Cheers,
Chris

Hi - can't believe I forgot to mention that it's a 26er

I've got a 31" inside leg and am 5'7". I quite like a reasonably stretched position on an XC bike and it suited me well - I guess if you're taller than me (not difficult!) then it'd be more chuckable, more along the line of the Cove.

On One would regard the 18" as their medium I suppose, given that they do a 16" version too. For me, a 17" is ideal but this size up seemed to do the job just fine.

Size sounds spot on as im just shy of 5'9"

I'll be honest though and say i was hoping it was a 29er. Looking for a 26er elsewhere but price is maybe highet than i was wanting to pay for a 26er as may as well go for a cheaper inbred or the like. Will sleep on it and get back to you with an offer tomorrow.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
Is the frame still available? Let me know, I'm in Bristol so could easily come down to pick up. I'm 5'11 but would have thought that 18" would be OK. Let me know if still available.
Thanks,
Tom
