Hi! I need a new frame for my Atlas. Is there anyone out there who could guide me to one of these superb frames that needs/wants a new life in Norway?

Thanks Ian!
The number on the frame give ca 1966 Atlas. I am not so sure about that as the front top engine mounting points does not look right. The lugs are welded the wrong way with the tails down (that was onely on the wery first Atlas frames). It also misses the lugs for the centre stand and has holes in the bottom rails. This make some work to be done and then it is not so unlike the frame I have.
What happend to my exsisting frame?: I had it strightend on the rear subframe. When sandblasting in the same operation things looked not so good. 2 cracks and 7 holes in the bottom rail. So I think I can have the bottom rails cut of and have new ones welded in here in Norway for much less than the asking price for the frame (£1299).
By the way: Does anybody know the thicknes of the bottom rail tubes used by Reynolds ? (Inner/outher diameter)
Thanks again Ian.
Regards Eirik.

Fair enough Eiric. I did not study the frame. The seller is asking a high price anyway, but he always does.
You will be better off repairing yours, and it will retain originality.

There is one on ebay Eirik, but for some reason this noticeboard does not support a link. The seller is 'sbvclassics' on ebay, otherwise known as Steve Burch Classics, Ivybridge, Devon; not tooooo far from Oslo; ahem. Anyway, it is an Atlas frame, anything can be shipped, his website is www.sbvclassics.com.
What happened to yours?
