For Sale: Dave Yates Classique Piste Track Frame

I am reluctantly selling my Dave Yates Classique Piste Track Frame in Reynolds 531c Tubing

Sizes are : 58cm centre to centre top tube, 58cm centre to centre seat tube.

The Classique Piste is a traditional track racing frame.

This frame is in very good condition in the original deep purple metallic colour with Dave Yates decals.

Built to the highest standards of craftsmanship, with the horizontal top tube and lugged construction.

It has Campagnolo track ends, integrated allan key seat binder and has a standard British threaded bottom bracket.

This frame is built with Reynolds 531c tubing. This produces a very lively frame without any harshness in the ride quality.

It has minimal clearances and is spaced for 120mm rear and 100mm front hubs.

Not drilled for brakes .

Finished in a very deep purple that looks almost black in the photographs.

You can see some more detailed pictures here :

This is a top quality track frame from the mid 80’s

I am only selling the frame and forks , I have built the frame up so as you can see how it would look as a complete bike.

If you would like any more information or more detailed images please mail me and I will be happy to try and help .

I am looking for £ 225

Postage is £ 20 to any where in the UK or collection / delivery in Edinburgh area

I am happy to ship the frame internationally at cost.

Sorry for the slow editing and the cock up with the original html text.... it's all done now !

Regards Allister

am looking at this on my phone so it may be me, but i can't see a price for the frame, only for the postage.

edit quicker edit quicker i cant see anything, i must see!

Is there a price? It is very nice...

Now able to offer a choice of Campagnolo Record headset or Stronglight alloy needle bearing headset for £15 if bought with the frame.

is it built for 700c or 27" wheels?

Frame was built to take tubular tyres so 700c wheels will fit just fine.

The pictures show it with 19mm Conti Tempo's on the wheels :

i thought they were 19's

i reckon most people on here will use it with 23's at least

It has quite big clearance with 19mm tubs on interestingly the wheels with Supersonic HP's in 23mm are not that much taller 2mm at most but much wider. The frame has been ridden on the grass with 32mm Conti Twister tyres .

I don't want to buy it but that frame is beautiful. Price seems very fair as well...

The interested buyer has had an unexpected tax demand so the frame is now available for firm offer of £ 225 with a stronglight needle bearing headset posted to any where in UK or 205 collected in central scotland .
PM me if you want any more information .
