The frame doesn't fit pass-around game

I have two exotic frames for consideration. The first one is a Noname Titanium mountain bike. 19” from center to top of seat tube. 22.75” top tube. My co-op didn’t want it but I couldn’t just let it go for scrap. Everything looks good. Welds are nice and frame is straight.
The other one is a Paketta road bike frame. It’s a 58cm center to top seat tube with a 53cm top tube. Made in Boulder of magnesium. It’s super light and rides very nice. I rode it long ago when it came into the co-op and would have bought it then but I have a road bike I don’t ride much and couldn’t justify another road bike.
Both frames are bare frames without fork as you see them in the pictures.

Good luck finding news home for both.

The cost of shipping it to you. If you want you can make a donation of what you think is reasonable to Bikes Together. I would also ask that you not flip it and/or sell it. Build it up and give it away if you want but don’t try to make money on it.

I restored a late 1970s Japanese made lugged steel Bianchi bicycle recently that's a bit too small for me and a bit too big for my girlfriend.
It's an orange/copper color and apparently from the Oji bicycle company. I'd guess it's a 56" (or equivalent) size. and runs nearly flawlessly after we gave it some TLC, WD40, and lubricant.

I have this 20" 92 Cannondale M1000 I'd be glad to trade away. Was advertised as a 22" but unfortunately was not. Price was right so I couldn't head home without it. Now that I've sat on it, I've decided it just isn't going to work for it's intended leisurely purposes. Still has the recalled aluminum steerer Pepperoni fork on it. Would love to trade for a 22" or possible something older in a bigger size. ATB/MTB/Toruing all of interest. I'm net set on holding onto any of the parts if those are of interest as well. 7spd Suntour XC comp thumbies. Located in Atlanta, GA

Just found this locally, a wonderful machine that is tragically too small for me. The fork blades have Durifort decals but the frame does not. 25.8 mm seatpost (that I’d be sure to include in any swap), Campy dropouts, kickstand plate (appears to have never been used) and down tube shifter braze ons. The LONG rear stays measure 18.25” in the rearmost position. The chrome is in excellent condition and the paint and decals are quite nice. I bought this for the parts and would like to trade the frame/ fork for something similar from a European make in about a 58cm, also happy to deal in parts and tools Let me know what you have to trade. Happy to answer any questions provided additional info or just talk bicycles.
