Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 57mm)
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
This 1953 Claud Butler track frame has been very nicely refinished with oroginal style decals. Its in extremely sound condition and the paint is virtually unmarked. Its built from Reynolds 531 plain gauge tubing so will be nice and stiff. It is one of C-B’s road-track models designed for use both on the road and track. £195 SOLD

Top Tube (ctc): 21.5in (55cm)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 46mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531C
This is a really good Shorter road frame from the early 1990s – it is spaced 130mm making it ideal 8, 9, 10, 11spd gears. Its in very useable condition though the paint has some marks most noticeable being a patch on the top tube. £95 SOLD

Percy Stallard was essentially the founder and leading light behind the development of road racing in Britain in the 1940s and he sponsored a race team in the 1940s. His shop was in Broad Street, Wolverhampton. Frames were built from 1945 until the late 1960s. See http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/stallard.html for more details of Percy Stallard and his frames. The Zakopane was their top model introduced in 1949 named after Geoff Clarke’s Katowice –Zakopane stage win in the 1949 Tour of Poland on a Stallard machine. This frame has been nicely refinished with original decals – the paint has some marks bit nothing very obrusive. This is a rare classic frame. £195 SOLD
BARRON ROAD FRAME 1980s
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56.cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 43mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
I have had several Barron frames and they have all impressed me with a high level of workmanship; this one is no exception. Its beautifully fillet-brazed (just look at those gorgeous smooth fillets) from Reynolds 531C tubing. The forks are round bladed and drop dead gorgeous. The paint is in very good condition with just a few marks and it would make a very easy fixed or singlespeed conversion. £95 SOLD subject to payment
CONDOR ROAD FRAME 1965 built by Bill Hurlow
Seat Tube (ctt): 22.5in (57cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22in 56cm
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27s or 700C with brake drop of 60mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Bottom Bracket Threads: English
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Bill Hurlow built frames are really rather uncommon - this frame he built for Condor dates from 1965. Bill Hurlow made a name for himself outside of the cycling world as well as within it and is the only framebuilder I know who has been recognised with an obituary in the British Financial Times. His career started in the middle 1930s working for Grubb before working for Claud Butler and Holdsworth. He started working for Condor in about 1954 and devised some fancy lug designs which are true classics in their time - he also built high end frames for some other shops in the 60s - Mal Rees and Stan Miles being two. I rate Bill Hurlow as probably one of the top two or three of the post-war British builders - his work is truly beautiful and accurate. This frame has his signature curved chainstay bridge as well as the most beautifully filed (take a look at how even they are and how clean the edges are) single point lugs which are immaculately brazed. This frame is in very sound condition (one small unobtrusive dent to the seat tube) and has its original decals. The paint is really quite sound but the chrome is not very good. A really special frame. £225 SOLD
HETCHINS EXPERTO CREDE ROAD FRAME 1953
Seat Tube (ctt): 52cm (20.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55.5cm (21.75in)
Rear dropout width: 118mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C with brake drop of 54mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This Hetchins Experto Crede dates from early 1953. Its in very sound condition though it could definitely do with a repaint. Small Hetchins frames are not very common and the Experto Crede lugs are very attractive though not their top model. It would make a really cool conversion. £245 SOLD
SHORTER ROAD FRAME c1976/77
Seat Tube (ctt): 61cm (24in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57.5cm (22.75in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 50mm)
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
This Shorter frame dates from the second half of the 1970s and has been nicely repainted and not used since. It has one small chip to the paint on the top tube but appears practically unmarked elsewhere. Good quality large frames such as this are not common and it would make a cool fixed or singlespeed conversion. £125
VIKING ROAD FRAME c1988
Seat Tube (ctc): 56cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 68mm)
Seatpost size: 26.8mm
This Viking road frame dates I think from about 1964/65. It has been nicely repainted and the paint only has a few small marks. It will make an excellent and easy fixed or singlespeed conversion. I think it is one of their mid-range models most likely built from Reynolds 531 plain gauge. £75 SOLD
RUSS ROAD FRAME 1930s/40s
Seat Tube (ctt) : 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm (22.25in)
Rear dropout width: 114mm
Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C (brake drop of approx 58mm)
Bottom bracket threads: British
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Ernie Russ started building frames in the early 1930s - this frame I think is from the late 1930s or 1940s. Its in sound condition with some pitting but I do not think the forks are original. However its still an attractive frame that would make a very cool conversion to fixed or singlespeed. £65
PARIS CONDOR ROAD FRAME c1979
Seat Tube (ctt): 21in (53cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 21.5in (55cm)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C with brake drop of 43mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
In the late 1970s Monty Young at Condors resurrected the Paris name and for quite a number of years frames were produced under the Paris name. This I think is one of their earlier frames and is really rather nice. It may well have been built by Tom Board as this was the period that Tom built frames for Condors. The chrome is not in very good condition but the frame is very useable as it is and would make a very easy fixed or singlespeed conversion. £95
