Not mine, but I've just seen this stooge frameset on ebay

Buy it please, to stop me.

[Zoglug]

Oh my.........cant purchase at work...if it hasnt gone by the time i get home i may end up with it!

[gairym]

I'm just building up a cheap town-bike (bike #6) and Mrs Boss has been royally miffed that I've spent about £50 on bits for it (it's mostly built from old components laying around the workshop) and yet I'm mightily tempted to buy that Stooge frameset.

I've got some wheels and other bits and pieces and so could build something a bit special up for under £500 - now how do I approach my more financially sensible half without sustaining a serious injury.....

I am a shorty at 5ft 6 but have always used weights so I'm thickset with a 46 chest and the large fits me just right (a bit long in the arm and body but that's just right for cycling )

[wingnut]

when the finder of things put away returns (the wife ) she will retrieve the tape measure I will then post the pit to pit , arm and neck to hem measurements.

Ta, reckon I might get away with a small in that case.
