**SALE MOVED. THREAD CLOSED. IF THREAD CONTENT SHOULD ALSO BE DELETED LET ME KNOW**
Sale is for frame & forks only, parts are long gone. Photos show geometry with 27" wheels and 1" tyres. I realise the photos aren't great, but are all I have to hand in work, and I'm taking advantage of a moment I'm willing to part with this! I will add better ones later with proper detail. Anyway. Very, very sad to let this go. The 'New Allrounder' is a beautiful bilaminate model that uses the same pattern as the sought after, earlier version of the 'Avant Coureur' model.
**Serial No: **
6062
5212
Confirms built in December 1952.
Size:
Top Tube C-to-C: 56cm / 22 inch
Seat Tube C-to-C: 56cm / 22inch
Wheelsize: Ideally for 27” Wheels – Images with wheels show 27” x 1” tyres. – Deep drop centrepulls such as MAFACs would probably let you use 700c.
Seatpost: 26.4
Rear Spacing: Cuurently set to 124mm, was previously used with a very early Regina Gran Sport 6 Speed block
**Frame Material: **
According to 1952 Catalogue, either Reynolds 531 or Accles and Pollock.
I think plain gauge? As seatpost is around 26.2 or .4 (will confirm with calipers once home).
New Allrounder model uses the same lugs as the early version of the Avant Coureur. And is beautifully built using Bilaminate / Fillet brazed construction.
The frame is in excellent condition. No dents or dings.
I think it has been refinished at some point prior to my ownership.
The black enamel paint is excellent, there are a few small chips but nothing detracting. And easily touched up being black! I'll photograph stripped frame in detail asap and add more photos.
It would benefit from having its lugs re-lined in gold. If you have a steady hand, pretty easy to do yourself. If so, I’d recommend Sign-writers paint such as 1Shot. Its consistency, coupled with a drying time longer than your typical model enamel helps vastly.
Comes complete with headbadge and also the all-important, original and correct seatclamp. These are particularly hard to find, and can be expensive if you do! I had to find one for another CB frame and it took an age.
Price:
A beautiful frame and very sad to see this go without rebuilding it. Especially as I’m also going to have to sell a part Campagnolo ‘Open C’ group that had been intended for this.
So price is £260 (+postage). If too high I'm happy to take advice. NOW £240.

(Interesting inflationary note… It’s original cost would have been £10 17d 6p (10.875 pounds, using http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/Pages/inflation/calculator/flash/default.aspx this actually works out at £264.98!)
£260 +postage (assuming this will be around £15 for a decent insured service)
