Hi everyone,
I’ve just sorted out another lot of interesting and bargain frames. Shipping on frames within the UK will be £11 - other items can ship free of charge in the same box. I can ship anywhere in the world at a reasonable cost.
ALL ITEMS ARE IN BRISTOL
Payment can be via bank transfer (preferred), cheque or the dreaded Paypal which costs me 3%…
** If you dib an item, please PM me and pay the same day unless you make other arrangements with me. Otherwise it may well be sold to the next person who wants it...**
Viewing/Personal collection is welcome as quite a few have found and have been able to get other parts they are looking for at the same time.

RALEIGH DYNA-TECH CASTORAMA ROAD FRAME 1990 ** NEW AND UNUSED**
Seat Tube (ctt): 23.5in (59cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.25in (56.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 45mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is a brand new and unused Raleigh Dyna-Tech frame from 1990 - I think it was probably built as a spare frame for one of the Team Castorama riders - but never built up. Team Castorama though sponsored by Raleigh got their bikes from a French framebuilder during most of the 1990 season though Raleigh had announced in the Dyna-Tech catalogue that they were on Dyna-Techs... It is in virtually perfect condition. £195
ROTRAX LA PREMIERE ROAD FRAME 1956 Nervex Pro lugs
Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm (22.25in)
Rear dropout width: 116mm
Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C (brake drop 62mm)
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Rotrax frames are less well known than some but are really beautifully crafted - this example from 1956 is built with Nervex Pro lugs which have been well filed and have stunning clean edges. Its been repainted by Bob Jacksons fairly recently and not used much since. The paint has a few small marks and chips but nothing obtrusive. It would make a very cool conversion. £195
PARIS CONDOR ROAD FRAME c1980
Seat Tube (ctt): 55.5cm (21.75in)
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 45mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
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. This frame was built by Tom Board when he built frames for Condors. Its in very sound condition though the paint has quite a number of marks. It will make a very easy conversion to singlespeed or fixed gear. £95
HOLDSWORTH CYCLONE 1955
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 118mm
Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C (brake drop 60mm)
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is a very sound 1955 Holdsworth Cyclone frame built from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing and Nervex Pro lugs. It has been repainted probably in the 1970s and this paint is not in especially good condition. It would make a very cool conversion. £89
RALEIGH RECORD ACE ROAD FRAME c1952
Seat Tube (ctt) : 57cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57.5cm (22.75in)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: 27s orSprints or 700C front and rear (brake drop of approx 55mm)
Bottom bracket threads: British
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Raleigh RRA road frames from the 1940s and 50s are really rather special frames built to a very high standard. They have lots of brazed-on fittings - mudguards, saddlebag support, light bracket, hub gear cable roller, etc This frame has been repainted probably in the 1980s is in very sound condition. It comes complete with the special Raleigh headclip headset and the RRA stem - these were optional and are very unusual. £149
ELSWICK CHARISMA MIXTE ROAD FRAME c1980
Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 62mm)
Seatpost size: 26.2mm
This is a really rather pretty mixte road frame from Elswick which is in very tidy condition. It will make a very easy fixed or singlespeed conversion. £65
ALLIN FIXED WHEEL ROAD FRAME 1980
Seat Tube (ctt): 52cm (20.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 50mm)
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This Allin frame is really rather unusual - it was built as a fixed gear road frame with forward facing dropouts hence the lack of a gear hanger on the Campag rear dropout. It has been beautifully fillet brazed by Peter Cobb, Allin’s framebuilder - he obviously knew one of the weaknesses of fillet brazed frames and added a very neat reinforcing collar around the top of the seat tube. £95
VAN HESTE LO-PRO FRAME c1989 suitable for fixed Unused
Seat Tube (ctc): 54cm (21.25in), 59cm centre to top of seat tube
Top Tube (ctc): 54.5cm (21.4in)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C rear, 650C front
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This Belgian built lo-pro frame is unused though it does appear as if it has been partly built up at some time – however it is essentially unused. The paint is virtually perfect with just one or two very small marks. It is really very light so must have been built from pretty lightweight double butted tubing. It has horizontal dropouts so would be ideal to be used as a fixed/singlespeed conversion. £165
JOE WAUGH AUDAX FRAME 1980s by Dave Yates
Seat Tube ctt: 23.5in 60cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.5in (57cm)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 52mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This Joe Waugh audax frame (it has clearances for mudguards with 25-28mm section tyres) has been very badly overpainted but it deserves some new paint. It will make an easy fixed or singlespeed conversion. I have had a couple of dents in the top tube filled - it looked as if items had been dropped on the top of the top tube... Hence the bargain price of £59
STRATTON ROAD FRAME c1988
Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55.5cm (21.75in)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 47mm)
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
Strattons are an old established shop (originally it was Claud Butlers main shop) and have had frames from a number of sources - this frame I do not think is one of the Bill Grey ones but it is nevertheless a rather nice late 80s frame. It has had a dent filled in the down tube and two small ones in the seatstays - hence it is only £69.
