PSA: Stong canti cross frame, 56

[binouye]

I'm "watching" this frame/f/hs, and seller just offered it at $425 (+$30 shipping). Seems like a great deal for a nice steel frame -- if you don't mid cantis.

Dent-schment! I don't see that as an issue. The dimensions aren't unusual, and the price is reasonable. I'd grab it before someone else does.

What do you mean by “ the seller just offered it”?

If you are “watching an item” on ebay, you may get a “special offer” (that goes to all those watching), from the seller. I’ve received 3 or 4 this week. Almost pulled the trigger on one item after getting the offer.

Fwiw, I sort a very similar frame--57 Strong, Cantu CX, steel fork--a little over a year ago for about $450 (after starting higher and getting no interest) and it didn't have a dent.

Great riding frame, but the market for canti cx with limited tire clearance is pretty bad.

Other than the dent, the condition looks fantastic. And the king headset is worth 100 used alone. If you were offered in the 400s, that seems like a great deal.
