“Vintage” £50 frame sale: 1951 Planet Pintail lightweight, 1937 Raleigh Sports path racer

Finally conceding that these are both too small for my long legs, so looking to clear them out to a good home

SOLD SOLD SOLD First up is this 1951 Planet Pintail that was a eBay rescue about ten years ago. I had it powder coated by Pashley when I worked there but it would benefit from a proper refurb. Lovely Oscar Egg (?) lugs and Kromo tubing. 22 inches square

STILL AVAILABLE - Then the 1937 Raleigh Sports - I rode this fixed in my late teens and had it powder coated at the old Armourtex. Heavy as hell but super fun to bomb around on. 21 inch seat tube

£40 each!

Both are in Bristol and I’d love not to post

Couple dings to the Raleigh but it would take a house falling on it to kill this frame

Price drop - £40 each?

There is a chance for someone to get a nice looking fixie on the road, I presume that Tidesley finest is 120 rear spacing?

Ooh, ooh pintail please dibs

;)

Well done Rich. I'd do some lug lining in one of the blue colours on the badge to pop them out a bit. I'm sure there are few 50's bits in your spare box to furnish the frame nicely.

(A tip - press Microsoft logo and colon buttons together to get emojis, works in most applications, including LFGSS site 😏)

Now, blue lug-lining sounds like a nice idea…

Very tempted on the Pintail... would you post to London?

Pintail sold to @crossedthread - glad it's going to a good home!
