Hi All
Just wanted to say HI,
Im new to the Tenere group. I just got my hands on a Tenere which is going to need a new frame. Where is the best place to get one? I've looked on ebay. Its the 3FY frame prefix. Any one got a frame for sale?
Thanks in advance

Hi Gonzo
You might struggle finding a frame, a lot of the breakers I know stopped selling frames through fear of being implicated with criminal types, some still do though.
What's wrong with your frame?

Hi Rick
The bike was used for training. It's come to the end of its life so it has to be destroyed. It's too good of bike to let it all get crushed. I was going to get a frame and rebuild it.

Lol no, It was a training bike which now has to be scrapped, its too good to let it be crushed. I was hoping to save it if I could get a frame. It looks unlikely that will happen.

Keep searching on Ebay or Gumtree (do you have that in UK?) One will turn up sooner or later.

So I stopped worrying and lo and behold, things did get worse!
