Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

Hello,

I wondered if anyone can help identify this frame? I Bought it from a guy who had restored it. He thought it was a 3Rensho because of the distinctive BB shell? It looks very similar to some of the early 80's ones or the Specialized Allez, but this has vertical drop outs and blank seat stay ends. Its got thick powder coat too, so I can't see any serial numbers.

Any ideas would be much appreciated

Matt

Alright Gang, can anyone help identify which Campag rear hub this is please? It's fairly modern and is 10 speed compatible, but there are minimal markings on it, only says Campagnolo Made in Italy on the non drive side.... Any thoughts?

After a recent evidential intrigue I came here to beseech once more. Only now have I seen your comment, thanks, and apologies for lack of acknowledgement.

It is quite an odd job isn't it. Forgot about retrobike, will be posting summin'.

The new intrigue:

during an effort to paint the frame I found a small engraving on the fork, reading (P/R/A),C, M. Does it mean anything to anyone (recap: it is believed to be a TT Aende frame from the 70s)?

angularity / curvaciousness of the ds bearing bulge helps determine; unfortunately from your shots it's not clear - could be mirage with a retrofit 10 sp freehub or chorus

Is that the back of the fork? Looks to have been drilled out for a recessed Allen head nut (hence the markings being partially obliterated).

I think that read "BCM", for Bocama: a French maker of lugs, BB shells and fork crowns.

Yours looks like the middle one here.

A catalogue here.

Ha, no way.

The marking is on the back.

It does look very similar to the middle one however does have some cuttouts.

Thanks, for that.

Yep, bocama, makers of blank pattern lugs

can somebody help me price this ?
sorry for the shitty pics

it's full deore dx , stem and bars are 3ttt , seatpost is stronglight , wolber gtx rims with dx hubs and a miche seatclamp.

I got this for almost free and couldn't resist but I don't need it.

can somebody help me price this ?

I got this for almost free

You've answered your own question.

hmm
I'm still at a loss.
I've seen pretty shitty complete bikes go on ebay for 150 - 200 €
but I really can't figure this out.
is 150 - 200 almost free ?
or is it more like 50 ?

Is this a Hetchins ?
Nice (weird) fork crown, but the frame lugs look too plain to me.

They certainly used those tangs.....put some more pictures up.

Sell it for what you bought it for, unless you've damaged it in anyway. In which case sell it for a bit less.

I have an old track bike i have had for 30 odd years and would like to know if anyone can identify what make it is . People have told me it is a early claud butler or a holdsworth track /path racer.
it had been painted when i got it as a frame and forks matching numbers serial number 4896 on rear track end and inside the fork tube . It hasn't been used for the last 20 years but i am considering having it professionally repainted and restored - however i don't know what colour scheme and makers decals to fit. Onc ei know what it is i will upgrade the seat brakes and wheels for nice period pieces, Pictures attached

Taking a gamble on a bike I can't view, these are sheriff star road hubs? Don't know the condition internally so wondering what the lowest is I could get for them to offset the cost of the bike?

Looks like sheriff stars

Looking to find out more about this tandem, which a friend picked up a year ago off ebay, and wants me to help restore with him:

nice fillet brazing:

Chatter-Lea Cottered Cranks:

Mafac brakes:

Wheels are ISO/ETRTO 590 (the other other 26")

The only lugs are at the tops of the seat tubes (unless you count the fork crown as well), and they are cut out.
Geo is clearly for a shorter stoker, and the wheel base is pretty compact overall
Other components are probably not original (RD is Shimano 600, DT shifter looks to be 60's campag?...)

Any guesses what it might be? What components are worth keeping to restore? Obviously a lot of work needs to go into removing rust (all superficial by the looks of it though), but would be good to know how much effort its worth putting into the project...

Maybe try asking the tandem thread? Also, fillet brazing is fairly common on tandems as most tandems were custom made/custom geo, and no one made lugs for this

good shout - that makes sense that lugs would be rarer for these... will have a look through the tandem frame and possibly try to take some better pics before posting there...

Any one any more detail / info still can't find out who manufactured

Hi, long time listener first time caller...can anyone ID this condor frame?
