If all you do is come on here to post your over-priced frames, why not go straight to eBay, as no one here is daft enough to pay those prices; especially for the rusty one !

Kermit green one looks very decent

Many thanks for your positive vibe & unsolicited comments, enjoy what's left of your Saturday.....

Edit

Unsolicited but if the green 753 is as good as it looks then £350 including post is reasonable.

£350 for the silver 531 is very optimistic though, particularly with the pictured rust - £150 might be more realistic.

Just out of curiosity, is the seat tube on the TT frame profiled / flattened or is it the camera angle?

Camera angle... completely round tubes...

Extra pics..very little rust...

Given pictures, I’d down grade what I said re the silver frame

I'm wondering if what remains of the original "special" shop transfer has been misconstrued as corrosion?

I've seen much worse, eg https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/389555/#comment17184821

Hang-on, there's been a piss poor (comments) start to this, it's clear as day that they've been very well kept and look after. [Sorry for your hassle]

Wow...

Thanks, I do pride myself in keeping all my bikes well maintained as best one can, ..these sales only to fund an acoustic guitar I'm after...

Could you share the head tube length and max tyre clearance on the time trial frame please?

Sure-118mm between the cups & no larger than 25c tyres....

Thank you, too small for me but good luck, they're lovely frames.

I could be wrong, but the track frame looks like a 1970s Charlie Roberts senior frame. (I have a couple of his '70s track builds with similar features.) It has the straight seat stays typical of his builds, designed for six-day riders. It also has a '70s-style fork crown. The 531 stickers will be non-original, but the rest of the paint could be.

Nice seat cluster on the 753.

Interesting that people will fork out 10k plus for the latest carbon offerings from Taiwan yet £350 for a handbuilt bespoke frame from one the finest frame builders there ever was is 'overpriced'.

Both frames now withdrawn from sale...
given their excellent provenance ( both custom built by Roberts for previous owner) & the positive comments sent to me by PM's, I am now persuaded they will now be keepers...

The new guitar will have to wait......
