RAULER 61cm c1980
Seat Tube (ctc) : 61cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 59cm (21.75in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 46mm)
Bottom bracket threads: Italian
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
This c1980 Rauler frame is of really gorgeous quality - the lugs are beautifully cut out and the brazing is very clean. The frame is in excellent condition. Greg Softley (Ebay gts753) does reproduction transfers.

Rauler was founded in the 1970s by Raul and Reclus Gozzi Brothers. One or both brothers worked for Colnago before starting up the Rauler marquee. It is not know just what the relationship with Ernesto was, but what is known that the name Rauler is from Raul and the first two letters of Ernesto, hence Rauler. Rauler became one of the top contract builders for Colnago and did much of the pantographing for them as well.  It has been repainted not especially well but would be quite useable. There are no dents or dings I can see.  And with horizontal dropouts could easily be converted to singlespeed or fixed. £175

SCAPIN ROAD FRAME c1980
Seat Tube (ctc) : 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 46mm)
Bottom bracket threads: Italian
Frame tubing: Columbus SL

This is is a very nicely built and gorgeously detailed road Italian road frame from c1980 with the paint and chrome in generally very good condition. With horizontal dropouts it would make an easy singlespeed or fixed conversion. £165

DENTON (MERCIAN) ROAD FRAME c1980
Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm (22.5in)

Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 42mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Dentons are a Newcastle bike shop - I was told that this frame was built by Mercian for them. It is is certainly a very nicely made road frame with quite tight clearances. The paintwork is in generally excellent condition with only a realtively small number of marks none of which are at all obtrusive. An excellent frame for singlespeed or fixed conversion. £125

Wheel size: Sprints or 700C front and rear (brake drop of approx 45mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 631
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is a very nice road/light touring/Audax frame which has the geometry of a road frame but has rear rack mounts. Its built from Reynolds 631 heat treated tubing which is a top quality tube set just below 853. I do not know anything about Beard but I would guess that it was the name of a cycle shop that applied the transfers. Its in very good condition – the paint is generally very good with just a few marks and there is one very small dent on the top tube. £79

This frame is new and unused and is in virtually unmarked condition. This is a very large frame with a slightly sloping top tube and although it has track dropouts is designed for road use. These frames without forks retailed at £199 - I am including the forks, headset and bottom bracket £145
