The bike was obviously ridden for many miles like that. If you are interested, I’ll send the frame to you for the cost of shipping for you to evaluate. You can then send whatever you think it’s worth, remembering that we are a charity. If you value it at zero that’s OK. I just don’t like to see a classic frame scrapped.
That is an extremely generous offer! Thank you! Alas, at 62cm, the top tube is considerably longer than I can deal with--by 2.0 - 2.5cm--which I had feared. After looking at many tall bikes, that longer top tube proportion gets easier to identify in real life and in photos. I believe there are people here or online that would fit a frame like that and do the necessary work to restore it and give it a good home.
