Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 501 DB
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 46mm
This is a really nice Raleigh 501 tubed frame in the Team Panasonic colours. This is very much a cut above the average quality 501 frame with its forged dropouts and fully sloping fork crown as used on the 531 Team Replicas... Its very suitable for singlespeed or fixed gear conversion with the long horizontal dropouts. A great buy at £49 SOLD
POYNER MIXTE
Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Seatpost size: 25.8mm
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 66mm
This mixte frame was built by Knights of Wolverhampton for Poyners cycles in Leamington Spa. Its pretty and very tidy and the paint is excellent. £34 SOLD
CINELLI UNICA ROAD FRAME 46.5cm like 51cm 1996
Offered for sale is an excellent 1996 46.5cm (ctc) Cinelli Unica road frame with a 52cm ctc top tube. Rear dropout width is 130mm. Bottom bracket threads are Italian. It is built from Columbus Brain tubing. It takes a 27.2mm seatpost. This is a very beautiful compact road frame with a sloping top tube - it is roughly equivalent to a 50-51cm standard road frame. It has one very small dent to the top of the top tube just in front of the seat lug which can just be seen in the photos. The paint is in very nice condition with very few marks. There is a sticky coating to some of the paint - I have cleaned most of it off but some residue still remains. £125 reduced to £115
CARLTON
Seat Tube (ctt): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm

GEOFFREY BUTLER ROAD FRAME 1960s/70s

Top Tube (ctc): 57cm
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C
Tubing: Reynolds 531 DB
Seatpost size 27.2mm
This frame features extremely beefy seatstays and top eyes. It was probably built in the late 60s/early 70s. With long horizontal dropouts its ideal for budget fixed/singlespeed conversion. The paint is in poor condition and there are no forks reduced to £35
HANNINGTON CHILD’S TRAILERCYCLE
This is a truly lovely child’s trailercycle built probably in the 1960s - it is far superior to the cheap modern ones which attach to the seatpost. The lower fitting with the hitch vertically over the rear wheel on a purpose built rack means that the towing bike does not get tugged in anything like the same manner as the cheap ones. Isla Rowntree and Burley copied this design when they built child trailercycles in the 1990s because it was simply the best design...The seat tube is 14in long on the trailercycle - this is short enough for most 6-7 year olds with the short cranks - the cranks can be changed as the child gets older and its suitable up to about 9 years old. £75
RALEIGH ILKESTON TIME TRIAL SPECIAL FRAME 1978
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Brake drop with 700C wheels: 50/44mm
Tubing: Reynolds 753 metric
Frame number SB1912
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
This was made at the Raleigh Ilkeston plant under the direct supervision of Gerald O’Donovan. Mike Mullett was the foreman in the framebuilding shop when this was built. There are some gorgeous touches such as the slotted bottom bracket and oversize seatstay cap. It is designed for use use with hex nut fitting brakes. The frame appears to be very sound with no dents. It is one of the comparitively rare Time Trial Special frames with drilled and reinforced vertical dropouts -and is built from the lighest version of 753 - the bare frame weighs just 1550g! It has had bottle cage bosses added.
In autumn 1974 Raleigh established a specialist workshop (SBDU) capable of frame building to the very highest standards at Ilkeston in Derbyshire. Frames were built for the Ti-Raleigh continental pro team from the very beginning. They produced the only British frame to ever win the Tour de France (Joop Zoetemelk, 1980). The unit worked with Reynolds in developing Reynolds 753 and the first frames were tested by the Ti-Raleigh team in 1974. Genuine Ilkeston frames can be identified by frame numbers with 1 to approx 9500, prefixed SB. For a company as large as Raleigh, the SBDU was quite an unusual operation. Its production capacity was modest – at a maximum only about 1000 frames or so a year from about four framebuilders. SBDU frames were mostly built in stock designs except for the actual team frames. Its a real bargain at £195
HOBBS SUPERBE 1947 Fancy lugs
Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 110mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Frame tubing: Almost certainly Reynolds 531 DB
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 58mm
Hobbs were probably the first British manufacturer to adopt fancy lugs in 1936 and the design they used then continued to be used until the early 1950s as seen here on this 1947 example. This frame is in very sound condition with no dents or dings and will look truly superb once renovated. Its very suitable for singlespeed or fixed gear conversion with the long horizontal dropouts. £175
ALAN SHORTER ROAD FRAME1950s/60s
Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C with a brake drop of 62mm
Seatpost size 27.2mm
Alan Shorter frame almost certainly from late 50s/early 60s and built from Reynolds 531. With long horizontal dropouts its ideal for budget fixed/singlespeed conversion. £55

FALCON SAN REMO c1960 Reynolds 531 double-butted

Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 64mm
This is an early Falcon frame from the time when they only built good quality frames from Reynolds 531 DB tubing with Campag rear dropouts. Its in sound condition though needing a repaint and has had its gear hanger cut off making it an ideal frame for singlespeed or fixed conversion. reduced to £35 SOLD
RALEIGH 1987 Team Replica Reynolds 531 double-butted
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
This is the top end Raleigh road frame from 1987 which was only supplied as a frame to be built up by the customer. Raleigh’s Lightweight division and SBDU merged in late 1987 just before this frame would have been built - that might explain why it has a Lightweight unit frame number and a GoD (Gerald O’Donavan) decal which would normally indicate being built by the SBDU framebuilders... Whatever it is is a very nice road frame REDUCED to £100 without headset or BB, £115 with Shimano Dura-Ace headset in perfect condition and Campag Chorus BB. SOLD
RALEIGH ELAN Reynolds 501
Seat Tube (ctt): 59.5cm (23.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm (22.25in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 501 double-butted
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 49mm
Thisis a very lightly used Raleigh Elan Reynolds 501 frame from around 1990 - the paint is in generally excellent condition with only a few small marks. I have the rest of the parts (mostly Shimano Exage 7-speed) - which I can include for £40 including the wheels which are excellent. reduced to £43 SOLD
MERCIAN SUPERLIGHT 1962
Seat Tube (ctc):57.5cm (22.75in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 DB
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 50mm
Bottom bracket threads: English
This is a nice early Mercian Superlight frame from 1962 built for sprints/tubs but ideal for use with 700C with a 50mm brake drop. The Superlight was one of Mercian’s top models incorporating their distinctive fastback seat cluster and very abbreviated Nervex lugs. This one has had a period repaint - there are a few traces of light piting showing on the chainstays near the BB shell but seems pretty much perfect elsewhere. The chrome is very good/excellent with only one or two traces of corrosion - it is perfectly useable. reduced to £245 SOLD
