I'm looking to shrink my new to me 1989 Bianchi Giro SLX/SPX Celeste. Currently have 59.5 TT, 62 ST, looking for a 56-58 TT. Frame is in very good condition with one surface rust spot at the seat cluster that I stripped and repainted with decent but not perfect results. I'll be very picky with this as I got the bike from the original owner and want to stay true to the original.
Edit: Sorry if this wasn't clear but I'm looking for the same frame, just smaller. Hopefully someone out there wants theirs a little bigger!

I have for trade an old Schwinn Superior. It's a 24" which roughly comes up to 58cm. It includes the stem, headset, and steel seatpost which is not pictured. Looking for something in 55-56cm range. If I broke any rules let me know. Thanks!

if it's a 24" frame that comes up to a 61mm measurement. Nice frame.

Hey Monkrph, I'm interested in the unknown Columbus frame. What are you after in trade? Hopefully I have something for you. Oh, would like to see a pic. Thanks

I still have this Bianchi Eros available. It's a 56cm. Paint has been replaced with a very reflective finish. Bottom bracket is not included, but fork and headset are. It has a racy geometry but isn't as light as a high end frame.
I'm looking for just about anything in trade. Make me a offer.

I'll take a look see. I have many around.
EDIT: I have absolutely nothing in a road bike or frame but quite a few in mountain bikes and frames. So I'm not sure if that would interest you at all.

I also have this 64cm Miyata 210. I've had this for quite sometime.........It's been to several swap meets, listed several times on CL. Because of the size, preference would be to Chicagoland/Northern IL. where an in person trade could be done. Any takers?
Again, I'd be a trader for a 53 cm road, 17" frame or ANYTHING (bike related or otherwise) of comparable value really.

I can ride a seat tube of 58 - 62, but I really like a 58 cm top tube. That's what I generally check first (when known).

Long shot, but figured I would throw it out there before I got it built back up....
I have a Bridgestone RB-1 frame, seat tube 53cm ctc. Paint is rough, there is a bit of surface rust in a few small areas, and there is a dime sized ding in the downtube. Obviously the build quality is superb and would make for a worth restoration candidate, I just don't want to go through all the effort for a bike that won't fit me. I'm looking to trade for something large in the 60-64cm range of the same caliber.

1917 Iver Johnson Model 1787 Truss Bridge Roadster
Just picked this beauty up, but unfortunately it's too small at 20". I'd like to trade for a 24" Iver truss frame racer or roadster, frameset or complete. Let me know what you've got!
This Iver is complete with fenders, wood rims, and coaster brake.
