Hi everyone,
I’ve just sorted out some rather nice road frames most of which are suitable for singlespeed or fixed wheel use and couple of good road bikes. Shipping on frames within the UK will be £11 - other items can ship free of charge in the same box. I can ship anywhere in the world at a reasonable cost.
ALL ITEMS ARE IN BRISTOL
Payment can be via bank transfer (preferred), cheque or the dreaded Paypal which costs me 3%…
** If you dib an item, please PM me and pay the same day unless you make other arrangements with me. **
Viewing/Personal collection is welcome as quite a few have found and have been able to get other parts they are looking for at the same time.

MOTOBECANE PROFIL 2 ROAD BIKE c1982
Seat Tube (ctc): 57cm (59cm ctt)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Motobecane Aero Profil tubing
This is a remarkably well preserved Motobecane aero roads bike from the early 1980s - it has Shimano Adamas AX brakes and hubs together with a Shimano chainset. Gears are Huret. The whole bike is in excellent condition with a very few minor marks to the paint. A great talking piece and very cool. £145 ono
BRIDGESTONE ROAD BIKE c1988
Seat Tube (ctc): 54cm
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Bridgestone aluminium tubing
This Bridgestone aluminium and Japanese built bike was imported from the USA as a frame about 20 years ago - its in really nice condition and would make an excellent winter bike. It has Shimano Tiagra 9spd STI shifters with 105 front and rear gears. Front brake is a Tiagra dual-pivot. Chainset is a Stronglight 80 triple. Handlebars and handlebar stem are Cinelli. I will supply a saddle - the buyer will have a choice of several modern saddles. The wheels are in good condition but the rear only has 7 sprockets - I do have a pair of 9spd Shimano 105 whels with V-rims which the buyer could have in place of the existing ones for an additional £30. A bargain at £120
BIANCHI FAVONIUS ROAD FRAME c1993
Seat Tube (ctc): 56cm
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Oria
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
This early 1990s Bianchi is built from one of the more budget Oria tubing sets. Its in very sound condition and the paintwork though it has quite a number of marks is very useable. The headset dustcover has a small section missing. The horizontal dropouts mean that that it is ideal as a single speed or fixed conversion. £79
RALEIGH MIXTE c1970s
Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55.5cm (21.75in)
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Seatpost size: 25.4mm
This Raleigh mixte is very pretty and dates from the late 70s – the paint is not perfect - it has quite a number of marks etc but does look very presentable. £29
SHORTER TT
Seat Tube (ctt): 21.75in
Top Tube (ctc): 21.5in
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 butted main tubes
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
Alf Engers the great British short distance time trial specialist rode Shorter frames in the 1970s. Their frames were not built in house but by a variety of framebuilders including it is believed Vic Edwards and Wally Green. This particular frame could well be a Vic Edwards built frame - it is lighter than a standard 531 DB frame and has some really nice details including the fastback seatstays. £89
MAXI SPORTS LO-PRO FRAME ex Lauret Roux Castorama 1995
Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm 54cm (ctc)
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. A bargain at £175
TOMACC LO-PRO ** NEW and UNUSED**
Seat Tube (ctc): 20.25in (51.5cm) (57.5cm ctt)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.5in (57cm)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Brake drop with 700C wheel: 40mm
Wheel size: 700C front and rear
This is a rather beautiful NOS Lo-Pro frame from the early 1990s with curved seat tube and close clearances - it carries the decals of a Belgian cycle shop for who it was made probably I think with Reynolds 531 tubing. The paint is in very nice condition though there are a few small shopwear chips and marks. Head tube angle is about 73 °. The semi-vertical dropouts should mean that a singlespeed or fixed conversion could be made without too much trouble. Reduced to £165
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. A gorgeous top quality frame for £175.
