Hello all, Apologies to those of you who also read i-BOB, but I thought this might also interest the RBWers who don't:
2001 Waterford RSE-22 frame/fork and headset for sale 56cm c-t-c seat tube 56.5cm c-t-c top tube 22 series frame/fork, fully lugged Built for 700c wheels and cantilever brakes Henry James semi-horizontal dropouts 2 pairs of eyelets - front/rear 1 pair of seatstay braze-ons for a rack rear fender mounts via threaded seat and chainstay bridges front fender mounts through fork crown 135mm rear spacing Includes: 1" threaded Chris King 2Nut headset and XTR m900 cantilever brakes (needs new pads) *I also have some scuffed up black SKS fenders that were previously measured, cut, and installed on this frame. Though no longer installed, I can include them as well, if needed. Waterford "Road Sport Extended" Geometry - I've been told that "extended" just means it's an RS-22 that accepts cantilevers for greater tire clearance, but have seen at least one other RSE that used sidepulls. It's definitely not a touring frame, but more like a high-end RB-T(riple), or maybe a less fancy, slightly lighter and steeper, canti'd Rambouillet? I'm not 100% sure about the tubing, but I believe it's either all Reynolds 853 OS or a mix of 853 OS and something else they build with. Either way, it's fairly light and stiff. Exact geo/tubing spec is available from W'ford w/ serial number, I've just never really needed to know as a 2nd owner. The frame was great for commuting, errands and day-rides for the better part of two years in Chicago. Prior to that it spent most of its life unridden. The paint has seen better days and there is some surface rust here and there, but no cracks, dents or other structural issues. The dropouts have just been professionally aligned and the frame was looked over for general soundness and given the a-ok by my local shop, though they recommend thread alignment and facing for the bb shell - buyer's choice. The ride is great, but I could never quite get comfortable enough, as it's too small. If it fit better, I'd probably just powder coat and keep it, but my latest frame is more my size. A similar 22 series frame/fork from Waterford is around $2.5k these days. At this price, you could send the frame to Wisconsin for restoration and still have plenty leftover to put some decent parts on it. Add it up here: http://waterfordbikes.com/w/ordering/price-list/ $650 + shipping from Chicago and we can save if I ship to your local bike shop.
