For Sale: 1950's Rotrax

Posted on
  • The Rotrax is 23.5". Barn find,I wouldn't re-finish it.Plainish Nervex lugs.Front wheel in the pic is a 27" as the front has been canabolised for something else.The sprint rim was cracked ,as is the rear.
    Unusuall frame in that it is drilled for a front brake,(Early Universall)but no clearence or fittings for a mudguards ,700c or sprints only.Makes for an elegant frame.
    No Seatpin or saddle .I have't checkted the frame no. yet but a mid 50's headbadge is fitted.
    Nice BSA cranks and GB Kromo stem,need new chrome but no pitting so will re-finnish nicely.
    £250


  • Nice frame... Bit pricey tho'...

  • Very nice. Would you ship to Germany?

  • 'Tis,but I am open to offers.
    It will make more on e-bay(The saddle did !)
    It is very unusual for a '50's frame in that most from that era are road path,i.e they have massive clearences and fittings for mudguards,this is really nice and I am happy to keep it,but I have a Bates and a Carpenter So it wouldn't really get used.
    I'll ship it anywhere,looks like £30 to Germany.
    Just to answear a few questions,The front wheel was scrap,as is the rear(Cracks on the sprint rim)no seatpin or saddle.Comes with Cranks,BB.headset,handlebars,stem ft brake,period quill pedals,chain, sprocket,rear wheel if you want,but only the axle and possably cones are usable Nothing is siezed,Frame is excellent,no dings,cracks or internal rust.Looks very dirty but I think the lacquer has deterioated.I would just clean it and use it,Not many left with 50 odd year old finnish,but thats just me.
    Any other question,just ask

  • Still to get?

  • do you still have the frame?
