This frame has had one owner from new and has been relatively recently repainted; however Argos fitted their own transfers...
Stan Pike only built under his own name for a few years - approx 1975-83 - a small amount of information is available on him at www.classicrendezvous.com/british_isles/Pike_stan.htm He started out as a framebuilder at Wally Green in the 1960s before becoming a a welder at Westland helicopters. £195

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. £149

RALEIGH PURSUIT ROAD FRAME 1980s
Seat Tube (ctt): 60cm
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C
Brake drop with 700C wheel: 46mm
This Raleigh frame is in very sound condition with perfectly useable paint. The right rear dropout could easily be filed out to make it a long horizontal dropout ideal for a budget fixed/singlespeed conversion. £29

MONDIA ROAD FRAME c1977
Seat Tube (ctc): 58cm
Top Tube (ctc): 58cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
Seatpost size: 26.6mm
Frame number: 287894
Mondia frames are really rather nice and understated – the one is nicely finished in gold – there are some marks to the paint but nothing very large. Typically Swiss it uses metric sized 531 tubing combined with Italian BB threads... £260

CARLTON FLYER c1965
Seat Tube (ctt): 60cm
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Brake drop with 700C wheels: 62mm
Tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
The Carlton Flyer was during the mid 1960s the top road frame available from Carlton/Raleigh. This frame is beautifully built with the fancy curly lugs with windows and Zeus long rear dropouts making it great as a fixed/singlespeed conversion. The paint is in generally sound condition but needs touching up in a number of places if used as is. £110

HIGGINS c1946
Seat Tube (ctt) : 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 58cm (23in)
Rear dropout width: 114mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 57mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
Seatpost size: 26.8mm
This is a very nice filet brazed (lugless) road frame from the early post-war years. Higgins was a master of fillet brazing - he was best known for his trikes and to a lesser extent tandems... most of which were fillet brazed. This frame is ideal for fixed or single speed use - I will adjust the rear triangle width for the buyer to either 110mm or 120mm if wanted. £95

MOSER LEADER AX ROAD FRAME c1990
Seat Tube (ctt): 64cm 58cm (ctc)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame Tubing: Oria
The Leader AX frames were introduced by Moser in around 1989. They were really quite stunning, fillet brazed with silver solder and an oversize top tube they were one of the first of a new breed of steel road frames and looked truly stunning. This one is in very sound condition with good useable paintwork and no dents or dings. It has horizontal dropouts so is perfectly suitable for fixed or singlespeed use. £175.

RALEIGH DYNA-TECH 401Ti ROAD FRAME 1993 New Old Stock
Seat Tube (ctt): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Titanium main tubes, chrome-moly rear stays and forks
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 47mm
In the late 1980s Raleigh developed frames with bonded aluminium lugs used with steel and/or titanium tubing. These eventually were branded Dyna-Tech. This frame is one of the last of this development and apart from the very rare and exotic version using aluminium metal matrix tubing was the top of the line Raleigh road frame in 1993. It uses titanium main tubes bonded to aluminium lugs with Reynolds chrome-moly rear stays and forks. This frame is totally unused and even comes with a spare frame identity hologram decal that Raleigh used on their top frames then. £125

BOB JACKSON ROAD FRAME c1985
Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm (22.25in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
This Bob Jackson is severely in need of refurbishment – it looks as if it has been used on a home turbo... However it is very sound – there is one very small dent to the side of the top tube but there are no other problems apart from it needing a good powder coat. A chance to get a bargain and reduced to £95

Really like the Stan Pike. Wish i had the budget!

yeah, that Pike is nice.

christmas present?

Hi Hilary, I would like to take the Stan Pike please. Nick.

That Bob Jackson would make a fantastic 'rat' bike...

Definitely, Even with the damage to the paint/chrome I think it's still a beauty and would look good as is. Would be a shame to see someone powdercoat it or somesuch. Though If you had it restored properly (re-chromed then re-sprayed) It would cost a shitload. Shame that some one let it get to that condition. If it was two inches smaller I would have been tempted, great price.

Has no-one noticed the Dynatech??!?!?

Ok, I'll take the Dyna-Tech if it's still available.

You wouldn't happen to have any 27.0mm seatposts knocking about would you? I'm putting together a Pinarello Sestriere and having a #~+!! of a time finding a decent seatpost!

I've got a mining silver cheapo micro adjust 27.0 you can have if you want it. Cost of postage
