Top Tube (ctc): 51cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C rear, 650C (26in) front
Frame tubing: Columbus aluminium
This stunning looking frame was Laurent Roux’s TT frame for his 1995 season at Castorama. This frame is absolutely gorgeous despite a few scratches to the paint and is very, very special. With vertical dropouts it is not ideal for singlespeed/fixed use unless you manage to get a magic chain length. £195

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 SOLD

MERCKX ROAD FRAME 1970s
Seat Tube (ctc): 55cm
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: 700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 50mm
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
Mercks road frames from the early 1970s are very rare in this country. Merckx licensed the use of his name to different builders in countries across Europe - in England inexplicably it was Falcon but in Belgium it was Kessels. This frame sourced from Germany was probably built by Kessels. Its obviously a quality frame with drilled lugs and heavily slotted BB shell. The frame weight is about 2kg and it takes a 27.0mm seatpost so is built from good quality tubing. The long Campy dropouts suggest it is from the first half of the 1970s. Its ideal for a singlespeed or fixed conversion with its long horizontal dropouts. £225

GILLOTT SPEARPOINT LUG ROAD FRAME 1951
Seat Tube (ctt): 61cm (24in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57.5cm (22.75in)
Rear dropout width: 115mm
Wheel size: 27in/ Sprints/700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 58mm
This is a very sound Gillott Spearpoint lugged road frame which can be dated from its frame number as coming from 1951. It definitely needs repainting but will be truly stunning when restored. The rust is simply surface and does not affect the structural strength of the frame. Its easy to convert this frame to 120mm rear dropout spacing and will then be totally ideal as a fixed or singlespeed conversion. £145

ALAN ROAD FRAME
Seat Tube (ctc): 52cm
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
Seatpost size 25.0mm
This is an excellent Alan road frame I would guess from the early 1980s. Its is excellent condition with no cracks or other damage. The horizontal dropouts mean that is possible for it to be used as a fixed or singlespeed conversion. £95 SOLD

PEUGEOT ROAD FRAME 1980s
Seat Tube (ctc): 21.5in (55cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22in (56cm)
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Brake drop with 700C wheel: 49mm
Wheel size: 700C
Peugeot made very nice budget road frames in the 1970s/80s - this one has very good paint. The rear dropout width and horizontal dropouts make it an ideal candidate for a budget conversion to fixed or singlespeed. £29

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. £24

RUDGE CLUBMAN FRAME c1949
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 114mm
Wheel size: 27in/
Brake drop with sprints/700C: 58mm
Raudge Clubman frames were one one step up from the basic Raleigh Lenton model or its Rudge equivalent with cutaway lugs, slightly steeper frame angles and Reynolds 531 butted main tubes. This one has charming original paint though the forks may possibly not be original – they are however certainly Rudge forks... These are really underrated frames which ride nicely and make a great conversion. £29 SOLD

DIAMOND ROAD FRAME ** NEW and UNUSED**
Seat Tube (ctc): 23in (58cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.5in (57cm)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Brake drop with 700C wheel: 43mm
Wheel size: 700C
This NOS Belgian made frame is really rather nice and is very attractively finished in excellent yellow and green paint. It would make an excellent conversion with its horizontal droputs - its built from a good quality butted tubing. £89 SOLD
