This might be a promising option for you. Has a red frame with clear title.

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure US frames are no-go in Europe

Yeah I didn't check your location. Shipping would be retarded expensive anyway. Sometimes I would see individuals on eBay selling frames with clean titles or even NOS frames. I'm not sure if having a salvage or clean title is a big deal with you. Some insurance here in the states won't let you have full coverage on a salvage/rebuilt title bike. Since somebody else already got paid out for it. Something to think about.

I'll check what can be done without legal problems - registration and insurrance.

Thanks for the links

Got a new frame 

I poured rust protection into the frame, expecting it to swallow about 1.5 liters if all sections were connected. I thought they had to be to avoid welding issues between tubes...  It only took about half a liter, so I guess the numerous tube sections aren't open between them.

I'm doing it myself for some excitement and pride. Pictures, shop manual and lots of labels should help...

That's fantastic news!

are you going to paint it?

nows a good chance to do some work on it!

I have to do the same to my frame. The rust is getting ridiculous.
