For Sale: Two nice French Vintage frames - Urago and Goëland

Two high quality French frames.

1. Urago was a maker in Nice and frames are easily identifiable by the wonderful wrapover seat stays unique to this maker. Urago himself is pictured on the head badge wearing his Stayer's helmet.

1. Goëland - Louis Moire was one of the Paris based 'constructeurs' along with Herse and Singer. This frame probably dates from the 60's. Touring frame built from sturdy tubing. 24 3/4 inches c to t. 110 rear spacing, built for 700c's. Most of original paint and box lining good, but some careful touching up required particularly around BB, to save original finish. Hand painted name. Beautiful seat cluster and very nicely filed lugs. Headset missing top race. All French threads of course. More information on maker here:

You got some nice bikes Chater Lea, any chance your hoarding some old velosolex's over there (desperate for an engine and newish muffler)?

Sorry, I don't but I could probably do you a string of onions and a beret

no, YOURago

Hi there
I see that you along with a host of other people on this site have had problems with this Martyn Parkes chap.
To cut the story short he has been sending me a series of aggressive and threatening emails over an item he said he did not receive on eBay. He is also threatened to take legal action.
I have reported the matter to the police.
Love to know about your experience.
Hear from you soon.
Kind regards
Zi

Have a read of this- http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/202167/

Wished I'd seen that Goeland at the time.

Just had a torrent of abusive emails from Martyn Parkes!!!!! Unbelievable. He had suggested a swop for my Baines. When I read about him I declined. The emails were incredible. Avoid at all costs!
