VENOM TOURING FRAME 19.25in c1998 Columbus
Seat Tube (ctt): 19.25in
Top Tube (ctc): 20.25in
Rear dropout width: 135mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop of approx 53mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
This frame is in excellent condition. It is built from a mix of Columbus double butted tubing.
Venom were a small Midlands based British framebuilder who built excellent frames using Tig welding in the 1990s - they built the top of the range Orbit of Sheffield touring frames - this frame appears to be very similar to one of the designs built for Orbit. It is is very uncommon to find a touring frame as small as this frame still using 700C wheels. £75

EDDY MERCKX COLUMBUS MAX FRAME 58cm 1990/1 SOLD subject to payment
Seat Tube (ctc): 58cm
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Frame tubing: Columbus Max
Bottom Bracket Threads: Italian
This is not an AX Leader but its predecessor built with standard Columbus Max tubing (the AX Leader has a variation on the Max tubing without all the ovalisations) - the seat and down tubes are ovalised in an horizontal plane at the bottom bracket and the top and down tubes are ovalised vertically at the head tube. All tube sizes are quite oversize so it makes for a lovely stiff frame. This frame is in very good condition and the paint generally has an excellent appearance - with a closer inspection some touching up can be spotted. There are no dents or other damage - Max is very thin walled so Max frames are often dented. The frame number is L C7182 - the C indicates 1990/1.
£295
