BIANCHI FAVONIUS ROAD FRAME c1993
Seat Tube (ctc): 56cm
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Oria
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
This early 1990s Bianchi is built from one of the more budget Oria tubing sets. Its in very sound condition and the paintwork though it has quite a number of marks is very useable. The headset dustcover has a small section missing. The horizontal dropouts mean that that it is ideal as a single speed or fixed conversion. £83

Eddy Merckx steel frames are some of the nicest riders made - this one from the early 80s is in very sound condition but really needs repainting. However it is one of the the examples built from Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing. The horizontal dropouts mean that that it is ideal as a single speed or fixed conversion. £165

Rickert was one of the top German framebuilders and with this frame you can see why - it simply exudes quality. The paintwork is in very nice condition - it has some marks but nothing which stands out too much... Bottom bracket threads are standard English. The horizontal dropouts mean that that it is ideal as a single speed or fixed conversion. £165 SOLD

Rear dropout width: 110mm
Brake drop with 700C wheels: 50mm
Tubing: Reynolds 531 Cantiflex tubing
Seatpost size: 26.8mm
This Bates Vegrandis frames dates from c1937. It has been repainted and there are signs of light pitting under the paint in a number of places but nothing which worry me from the structural point of view. It would have been built for 26 x 1 1/4in wheels originally but there’s plenty of space for 700/sprints. £95

This is one of top end Koga-Miyata Japanese built frames which are truly stunning quality. Just take a look at the lug finishing and the drilled bottom bracket shell. These are really very fine frames. The paint is in very good/excellent condition with only a few marks. The long horizontal dropouts make it am ideal conversion to fixed or singlespeed. £125 SOLD

COUGAR TT LO-PRO FRAME built for Chris Boardman c1991
Seat Tube (ctt): 40cm
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C rear, 24in front
Frame tubing: Unknown
This stunning frame finished in a black with a speckle was built by Cougar Cycles for Chris Boardman to attack several short distance time trial records c1991 before he turned professional. The fairings are not structural - they are probably fibre-glass! In one or two places there are cracks between the tubes and the fairings but nothing at all significant. This frame could be ridden with a suitable length seatpost riders of between about 5ft 6in and 6ft tall - the top top tube length is the important dimension... The vertical dropouts mean that it is not especially suitable for singlespeed or fixed use unless you manage a magic chain length. £195

Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
This is a rather unusual CBT Italia frame which uses a very distinctive fluted tubing. It is in excellent condition with almost unmarked paintwork and the long horizontal dropouts mean that it will make an easy conversion to singlespeed or fixed. £185

Nice Koga. Its a 1982 GentsRacer-Aero.

PM'd about the Koga

sorry if this is a boring question, but can anyone enlighten me about the bosses on the seat stays of the Bates? There's a courier guy some of you may know called Bart (or was it Homer?) who rides a gold 'road/path' Bates with chrome ends, I've stopped for a chat and had a butchers' at the bosses on his - I assume they're mudguard eyes, but his only has one set, and the pair just above the curves on the fork too. Is the second pair on this^ one for a rack?

The bosses are Bates reg'd design mudguard bosses which are used with a thumbscrew for easy fitment/removal - bikes in the 30s were generally multipurpose and would be ridden to events - I have seen a cyclist's diary from the 30s where he described how he'd ride up to a 100 miles on the Saturday to an event, ride the event on Sunday and ride home afterwards getting home in the early hours... mudguards were essential kit. The second higher boss on right-hand seatstay is for a reflector; there is not one on the LH stay.

Aha, couldn't work out why there were two, so thanks Hilary.

How much for shipping to Canada/Montreal for below frame.
I will probably buy some other stuff from you if the shipping is reasonable.

CBT ITALIA ROAD FRAME c1994
