This is a really beautifully made New Old Stock Italian road frame from c1980. The head and seat lugs are beautifully pantographed with symbol of a rider on a bike - - this image is also panto’d into the fork crown and seatstay bridge. The forks are fully chromed and the rear triangle is partly chromed. All the chrome is perfect. The standard of workmanship is excellent. I can arrange painting and can prep the the frame for BB and headset fitment. This is an excellent opportunity to get a frame painted exactly how you want it. £145

Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C with brake drop of 58mm

Hobbs after they stopped production of their frames continued as a wholesaler for many years - in the 1960s and 70s they had some really nice frames built by Tonard which they decalled as Hobbs Blue Riband and this is one of them. I have had a couple of these over the years and they are really nicely built Reynolds 531 double butted frames. The fork on this one is not original but is of the correct type. It would make a cool fixed or singlespeed conversion. £59 SOLD

Seatpost size: 27.2mm
JRJ was the the name first used by Bob Jackson when he set up in business. This frame dates from the early 1950s. The fork whilst not original is of the same type as I have seen used on other early JRJs. It could easily be used as a very cool conversion. £43 SOLD

NONAME 1930s/40s ROAD FRAME
Seat Tube (ctt): 52cm (20.75in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 114mm

Seatpost size: 27.0mm
This is a nicely detailed road frame from the late 1930s or 1940s which has a braze-on for a Cyclo derailleur on the chainstay. The forks are Russ pattern with a sharp offset. It will make an interesting budget restoration project. Its probably built from either Reynolds 531 butted tubing or Accles and Pollocks butted tubing judging by the seatpost diameter. £45

TOWNSEND of REDDITCH TT FRAME c1976 Spectacular head tube cutouts
Seat Tube (ctt): 22.5in (57cm)

In the 1970s the the time trial fashion gurus followed the likes of Alf Engers who drilled out his components and used frames with odd cutouts in the tubing combined with very short wheelbase and steep frame angles. This frame dates from that time and was originally sold by Townsends of Redditch - they did not make their own frames but commisioned framebuilders to build frames for them - many were special orders. There cannot be many more special than this one - just take a look ay the slots in the head tube - these are cut through the head tube - the yellow you see is just a plastic sleeve inside... The lugs are also drilled and as was common in the 70s very short track style rear facing dropouts with a gear hanger were used so that the rear wheel could be positioned as close as possible to the seat tube... The fork offset is so little that barspins are possible. This is one very special frame that comes complete with black Tange headset. The Stronglight BB can be sold with the frame for an additional £15. This is one really spectacular frame - its possible that it was built by Barry Chick who built Engers’ frames or possibly Dave Russell who built a number of frames in the 70s with slotted head tubes. £225 SOLD

CANNONDALE 2.8 ROAD FRAME
Seat Tube (ctt): 59.5cm 54cm (ctc)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Cannondale’s 2.8 series of road frames were very highly regarded in the early 90s - Cannondale had been one of the pioneers of of using oversize aluminium tubing to build light stiff frames in the 80s and with the 2.8 series took it a step further - the 2.8 name referred to the weight in pounds of the bare frame frame. This frame is in in very nice condition it has a couple of very tiny dings neither of which can be easily found and the paint is in excellent condition. £125

Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)

This is a very tidy and pretty road frame from the 1970s built with Prugnat single point lugs and a Cinelli style fully sloping fork crown - it looks as if it might have been built in the Holdsworthy factory judging by the style. It would make a very easy fixed/singlespeed conversion £89
