Wanted: Archie Wilkinson frameset

Hi
I was thinking about building on Archie Wilkinson Cro-Mo frameset. Asking you guys before i'lI call Archie.
Looking for one in black, not sure about their sizes but I need rather small 49-52cm
Thanx

Sent you a PM.

Just seen this and was thinking the same. Anyone got FF's knocking about that they'd like to pass on for a polo specific build.Not bothered about colour but size needs to be about 50cm. And or any news on the prototypes that were made for the worlds - are they likely to be put in to production?

Only got new ones mate...

no worries, worth a punt. Might end up buying a new one if nobody has a second hand one hiding away.

Let me know mate...

It's been a long time, but still want to buy one. Unfortunatelly Archie don't make that 100notes frames anymore... you are my only hope :)

If not that then maybe. Fuji size49-52... or similar,
Thx :)

I've got one left...

Varno, anybody - know about the racing bikes Archie Wilkinson made before going into cyclespeedway? I'd like to get some background on an old one that I have.

What you need to know mate?

Hey there - basically, whether it's a bike from the 70s, as I suspect. And whether the exact year can be pinpointed. It has Weinmann type 730 brakes; Shimano Skylark rear derailleur; Sistar cranks. Rusty rims and and a bit clunky, but it seems to ride well enough and the frame is sound and clean. I've never seen one before: how many of these things were made?

I worked for Archie building these circa 78/80 ish...That look original apart from the saddle approx 500 made i would guess..

Check out the lugless frame joints..

Anybody interested in acquiring my Archie Wilkinson before it goes on eBay? As Varno says, not many were made so it might have some novelty value. The frame is very sound. PM for more details if interested.

Got pics?
