End of a bike

On Thursday night, just before arriving home, I noticed the front end was a tad wobbly under braking - ah, the headset has worked loose, an easy fix. Got home, headset spanner out, tightened up, gripped front brake and gave the mandatory "mechanic's shake" forward and back. All done.

Got to work this morning and had a little look at the front end to discover the headtube has sheared right through and dropped down and forwards.

Uh-oh.

Has anyone got an old frame they want to sell for pennies? c.57cm TT would be ideal...

    Nah, you can fix that with some cable ties and gaffa tape :twisted:

    I've got a Boardman 56cm alu Road Comp frameset gathering dust that we could do a deal on. Or the Comtat as a full build if you're feeling lazy :D

    I wouldn't worry about it the steerer tube will hold it together. Depending on what I do I might be selling a 60cm Jake frame. Probably too big and canti brakes though.

    Me.

    You can have it for £20, if we can arrange some way for you to pick it up. Where are you located?
