BATES VOLANTE ROAD BIKE 1990s by Ron Cooper Stunning lugwork
Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Wheel size: 700C
This is a stunning Bates Volante road bike built by Ron Cooper with Bates patented Cantifllex tubing and the registered design Diadrant forks. The lugs are truly stunning. Its fitted out with Campagnolo Super Record brakes and chainset combined with Shimano Dura-Ace gears. It is in excellent condition having obviously had very little use. These Ron Cooper built Bates frames were only built in very small numbers in the 1990s. Pedals are MKS Sylvan track. £750

DAWES ARISTOCRAT BIKE Early 1980s
Seat Tube (ctt): 64cm (25in)
Top Tube (ctc): 59cm (23.5in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27in
This is a large Dawes city bike from the 1980s – its had one previous owner, a monk at Ampleforth College! Its only been lightly used. Its in excellent condition except for the wheels with chrome steel rims which do have some corrosion. Could easily be converted to fixed or singlespeed. £85

PEUGEOT PERFORMANCE BIKE Early 1990s
Seat Tube (ctt): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C
This is a really nice city bike built up on a chrome-moly Peugeot frame with Tektro dual-pivot brakes, Shimano 500EX indexed gears, Cinelli stem, weinmann brake levers etc Excellent condition and ready to use £95

MOTOBECANE PROFIL 2 ROAD BIKE c1982
Seat Tube (ctc): 57cm (59cm ctt)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Motobecane Aero Profil tubing
This is a remarkably well preserved Motobecane aero roads bike from the early 1980s - it has Shimano Adamas AX brakes and hubs together with a Shimano chainset. Gears are Huret. The whole bike is in excellent condition with a very few minor marks to the paint. A great talking piece and very cool. £125

DAVE LLOYD ROAD FRAME c1980
Seat Tube (ctc): 54cm (21.25in)
Top Tube (ctc): 52.5cm (20.75in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 50mm)
Frame tubing: Probably Reynolds 531SL
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is an exceptionally nice early road frame from Dave Lloyd which probably dates from around 1980 and which I think is built from Reynolds 531SL tubing - it is much lighter than most road frames of the period. The chrome on the head lugs and forks is generally very good but that on the rear stays is not quite as good. The paint is very sound. It will make an excellent road bike - and comes complete with a Stronglight roller bearing headset in very good condition. The Omas BB will not be included as standard - but could be left in for an additional £20. £159

ALEC BIRD 1980s
Seat Tube (ctt) : 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 39mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is a really nice TT or road frame from the 1980s and built from Reynolds 531 DB tubing with really close clearances. £79

KOGA MIYATA PROFESSIOAL ROAD FRAME 1976 ** NEW AND UNUSED**
Seat Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C
Frame tubing: Chrome moly 4140 tubing
This is a very early Koga Miyata Professional road frame which can be dated by its frame number to 1976. It was originally built up with Shimano Dura-Ace groupset but has never been used. It has a number of small shopwear marks none of which are particularly obvious. I have an almost complete Shimano Dura-Ace groupset of the correct period with some NOS components which could be used to build this frame up. It is not suitable for fixed or singlespeed conversion unless a magic gear is found. reduced to £185

RALEIGH 501 ROAD FRAME 1988 ** NEW AND UNUSED**
I have two of these frames:
Seat Tube (ctt): 59cm (23.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 45mm)
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 501

AND
Seat Tube (ctt): 62cm (24.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 45mm)
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 501

These two Raleigh Reynolds 501 frames have never been used - the 23.5in one shown in the photograph has a few shopwear marks. The other one still has its factory wrapping so should be pristine. Raleigh 501 road frames are really rather nicely built and these are both rather cool frames ideal for fixed or singlespeed conversion. £89 each
