After starting to dismantle the wife's 3100 i realized that the frame had some 'issues'. Not really visible from underneath without a light (lesson learned) it seems the frame had been repaired at some point. To be fair they did a good job on it but I really wanted a replacement frame.
Was in the car with a buddy two weeks back and mentioned it. "You interested in another one then? Going cheap".
Turned out he just happened to know someone 100 miles away that had put their 3100 onto an Art Morrison frame and had the rolling frame pretty much in their way. What were the odds...
Grabbed the full rolling frame in excellent condition complete with 216 and 4 speed etc for a song. Spent the morning migrating the cab onto the new frame. Will be listing the old one in case it is of use to anyone.
