• Hi everyone,

    Selling my Major Brother frameset. It is quite a rare frame in original condition.

    Some info on Major Brothers can be found here:
    http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/builders/major-bros-builders.html

    Built from Reynolds 531.
    Frame and fork matching number 20363. I believe to be late 50's.
    Rider name painted on both sides of the top tube from the Ravensbury CC.
    Campagnolo fork ends and dropouts.
    Wrap over seat stays.
    Braze on cable hanger for centre pull brakes.
    Pump pegs on seat tube.
    Braze on down tube shifters bosses.
    Mudguards eyelets.
    Nice detailed fork crown.
    Seat tube 57cm CTT of seat tube and 56cm CTT of top tube
    Top tube 56.5cm CTC
    Front spacing 100mm
    Rear spacing 121mm
    Seatpost diameter 26.8mm

    There are no dents or dings but the paint has got scratches and chips and some surface pitting, specially on the underside of the chain stays and behind fork blades. I do not think it should be re sprayed but that is down to each individual.
    BB threads and rear mech thread all good.
    There is a little bit of loose braze inside a fork blade and the is a little cut at the top of the steerer tube, on the inside where I had to cut free a stuck stem.But this did not affect the thread.















    More pictures/info can be provided on request.

    As it was built at last year's L'Eroica Britannia.

    I'd like £250 for it.
    I am coming to London this Saturday 14/2 in the morning until lunchtime so I could bring it down if anyone is interested or I can post at cost.
    I still have some of the stuff on this thread that I could also bring.
