55cm reynolds 853 DEAN cx frame "project"
It's got some issues. Mainly rust. I can't tell whether it can have a long life ahead of it. The previous owner let it rust enough that the bottom bracket cable guide bolt seems like it rusted out (plastic glue-on ones are cheap).
It'd probably have to be sanded to determine the rust extent, and have to be repainted. if you paint your own bikes or have cheap access to a painter, it could be a worthwhile gamble. By the bottle cages mounts, the rust wants to flake off.
Mostly cuz I have a hard time throwing away anything, and think it might have a life, I'll send it to you for only shipping charges if you get a friend to subscribe to our mag. I can take pictures beforehand if you want to see it.

Hey I'm interested for sure. Where are you at? I'm up in Canada. I've got a wack load of parts to spin it into a singlespeed....and .....a welding buddy with a paint shop.
Let me know if its still out there.

sure, let me try to snap a pic in the next few days. I coincidentally looked at it today and saw it's campy seatpost is stuck too - prob a sign that the rust is bad. CA shipping may be nuts though - have any friends in the US near the border?
