Not my normal line in frames but I have a selection of cheap British frames available ranging from classic lightweights mainly in 531. All would benefit from new paint but are useable as is. Current state ranges from tatty original to "repainted with leftover Dulux by drunk madman wielding bog brush". All straight and dent free as far as I can tell. Sold as seen! All seat pins move, those left in are odd sizes you might want to use as is. All are round about 120mm rear spacing unless otherwise stated and mostly horizontal dropouts with minimal braze-ons so ideal starter fixed/ss conversions.
Available for viewing/collection from SW11 or SE1 Waterloo, will ship anywhere at cost. Cash on collection or PayPal gift if posting. Dibs only if you are buying and have the dosh, I won't hold items for weeks while you sell body parts (or your body) to raise the money.
All sizes are measured centre to centre. Wheels shown are 700s, 28c rear 23c front to give an idea of clearances.
1) Geoffrey Butler lightweight for 700 wheels, VERY tight clearance on rear (the 28c won't turn). Single gear lever boss. 531 tubing, cast fork crown, semi-vertical Campag drop-outs so can be fixed with careful choice of gear. Good quality frame. 54.5cm x 56cm, 27.2mm seat post. Campag headset included. Was £75, now £70 **SOLD**
2) Unknown maker, classy 531 frameset with nice lugs and wraparound seat stays. Again, tight clearance with 700s, horizontal Campag dropouts, flat crown fork. Ideal conversion. 55cm x 56.5cm, 26.6mm seat post. £70 - **SOLD**
3) Good quality frame with Campag semi-vertical dropouts, nice cast fork crown, reasonably tight clearance with 700s, eyes for mudguards F&R. 56.5cm x 56.5cm, 26.4mm seat post, £50/ now £45 **SOLD**
4) Another very nice 531 frameset, originally for 27" wheels but reasonably tight clearance with 700s, eyes for mudguards F&R. Wraparound seat stays, nice pointed lugs, long Campag dropouts, ideal conversion. Original paint apart from top tube. 56cm x 56cm, 27.2mm seat post £55 - **SOLD**
5) Good quality frame, full wrap seat stays, nice lugs, Campag dropouts. Painted a fetching shade of puke with a bog brush but useable nevertheless. Mudguard eyes F&R. 56cm x 57cm, 27.0mm seat post. £45 **SOLD**
