OLMO LO-PRO FRAME c1987
Seat Tube (ctc): 59cm
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (53cm ctc horizontal)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 24in front, 700C rear
This Olmo dates from about 1986 and is built from Columbus Aelle tubing - I would guess actually that its mostly SL as its not at all heavy... The paint is in very good condition with only a number of small marks. It takes a 24in front wheel (clincher rims of the correct size are available). The horizontal dropouts mean that that it is ideal as a single speed or fixed conversion. £195 SOLD

Top Tube (ctc): 57cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm

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. £185. SOLD

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.
£95

EDDY MERCKX ARCOBALENO GAN TEAM FRAME 1996
Seat Tube (ctc): 57cm
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame Tubing: Columbus Neuron Special
Frame number: G3418
This is a genuine ex GAN team frame which belonged to Emmanual Hubert and was it is thought built for him for the 1996 season. Its built from a special set of Columbus tubing which appears to be MXL seat tube, down tube and chainstays combined with a Neiron 1 1/8in top tube. Its in excellent condition with only a few marks to the paint, nothing at all serious. There are no dents or dings. Its rare to find genuine ex-Team frames in as good a condition as this one. It comes complete with Stronglight headset and TA titanium bottom bracket. £375

SUN MANXMAN c 1936
Seat Tube (ctt) : 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55.5cm (21.75in)
Rear dropout width: 118mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 57mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
Seatpost size: 26.4mm
Sun introduced their Manxman model with the chainstay struts in 1935; this is thought to be one of the early models and is I think intended for use with a Cyclo Standard gear. Its basically quite sound but obviously needs painting. It will be a great winter project with nothing too difficult to find. I will include the headclip and headset races. £75 SOLD

VISCOUNT ROAD FRAME c1974
Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm (22.25in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Frame tubing: Aerospace Cr-Mo
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 27.0
Viscount frames from the 1970s were really quite far ahead of their times - they were fillet brazed from from good quality cro-mo steel tubing and were really rather nice. They incorporated advanced features such as a pressed in cartridge bearing BB. And originally were supplied with an aluminium fork which occasionally broke - this frame still has its original aluminium forks. This frame is one of the earlier Viscounts and is in very nice condition. £49 SOLD

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. £69

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 £179

FALCON BANANA ROAD FRAME c1990
Seat Tube (ctt): 62.25cm (24.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 500
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 54mm
Falcon took on sponsorship of the Banana team in 1990 I think and this very sound frame I think must date from about then. The paintwork is good and will clean up nicely with a little care. Really rather uncommon. £34 SOLD

Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
