[#3697091]

Got an Columbus Thron/531 Forks road frame with mudguard eyes. Badged as Sigma Sport but made by Ron Cooper about 12 years ago.

Bottom Bracket and seatpost stuck in. Knackered headset.
Lots of rust in places but probably could be ok. Small dent in top tube.

Scrap metal or worth anyones time to refurb?
Nice frame in it's time. Had it's day?

Donate it to Bicycle-Recycle in Newcastle, or bring it to my house and i'll take it up there with the others. Win Win for all.

12 years is old now? My 1980s Super Galaxy is going strong, and I only got it after my 60s Claud Butler got nicked years ago.

I bought a 60's claude buttler a few years ago off this forum

*looks shifty*

As for the OP, if its a 56cm top tube I might be interested.

Frame needs fair amount of work to get it decent. Get the BB and post out and then respray.

It is a 56cm seat tube centre to top and 56cm top tube.
Free to a good home. I'm in Epsom, Surrey
