Hi everyone,
I’ve just sorted out two rather good frames. 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.

Pure track frames especially ones almost certainly built for 6-day racing are really rather rare. This frame from Germany but almost certainly built in Italy was obviously built for 6-day racing - Germany has for a long time been big on 6-day racing during the winter season. Its steep head and seat tube angles are typical of six-day track frames. Its beautifully built with well finished lugs with an attractive heart cutout not unlike De Rosa frames - but its not a De Rosa - I have have checked with Christiano De Rosa... The paint is generally very good and useable but not perfect. Its not drilled for a brake and will have considerable toeclip overlap... £345
DE ROSA 1990s
Seat Tube (ctc): 50cm (20in)
Top Tube (ctc): 52.5cm (20.75in)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 45mm)
Bottom bracket threads: Italian
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
De Rosa frames are not common in this country or anywhere really; unlike Colnago all their frames are built in house and the numbers made are probably only one tenth those of Colnago... This early 1990s De Rosa is in exceptionally sound condition but the blue paint has faded rather badly. There are no dents or dings and it is straight. Very small De Rosa frames do not turn up very often and this is an excellent opportunity to get one at a very reasonable price which can be refinished to your own taste. £245
