ATALA ROAD FRAME c1980 ** NEW AND UNUSED**
Seat Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 47mm)
Seatpost size: 26.4mm
This is the last of the new old stock frames I have - once again it is in exceptionally nice condition with just a few small shopwear marks. Its well made and comes complete with a NOS headset. It will make a very straightforward conversion to fixed or singlespeed. £125

SWINNERTON ROAD FRAME c1989
Seat Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 44mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 653
This Swinnerton road frame built from the light Reynolds 653 tubing is in very good condition except for some paint scrapes on the right-hand seatstay. It could well have been built by George Longstaff (George’s daughter managed the Swinnerton shop) and their top frames were built by Longstaffs for quite a period of frame - it certainly shows some George Longstaff details. In my opinion George Longstaff was probably the finest British framebuilder of the last twenty years of the 20th century. It would make a very cool fixed or singlespeed conversion. £149

RALEIGH 501 ROAD FRAME 1988 ** NEW AND UNUSED**
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
This is a rather good new old stock Raleigh Reynolds 501 frame; it has a few shopwear marks. but nothing at all obtrusive. Raleigh 501 road frames are really rather nicely built and these are both rather cool frames ideal for fixed or singlespeed conversion. £95

CHESINI PRECISION ROAD FRAME c1979
Seat Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 53.5cm (21.1in)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 50mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame Tubing: Columbus SL
Chesini frames are built in Verona in Italy - many feature heavily engraved seatstay caps and fork crowns which includes a stylised version of the Verona city wall. They are really very nicely built – and this one is no exception. This frame has only been very lightly used and has I would think done less than 1000 miles – the paint has only a few small marks and the chrome is close to flawless. Also included but not shown in the photos is a Chesinin pantographed 3TTT stem. It would make a very cool fixed or singlespeed conversion. £195

CARPENTER ROAD FRAME 1949 Fancy Lugs
Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm (22.25in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C (brake drop 62mm)
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Carpenter frames were built in relatively small numbers in Islington (pre-war) and afterwards in Kingston-Upon-Thames - they enjoyed an enviable reputation. More details on Carpenters can be found at http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/builders/carpenter.html This frame has fancy lugs which are not especially common on Carpenters and a lovely faux two plate fork crown with round fork blades. The rear seatstay bridge has been replaced at some time. The headset is not included - it was found to have a fault. £175

MBK ROAD FRAME c1994
Seat Tube (ctc): 52cm (20.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 43mm)
Seatpost size: 26.2mm
This MBK road frame is in very sound condition - it has an excellent pair of Simoncini Columbus Genius forks. It has vertical dropouts so would not be ideal for use as a conversion. £55

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.

COLNAGO ROAD FRAME 1973
Seat Tube (ctc) : 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 54.5cm (21.4in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C front and rear (brake drop of approx 50mm)
Bottom bracket threads: Italian
Frame Tubing: Columbus SL
Colnagos from the early 1970s are really rather uncommon - this one dates I think from 1973. Its been repainted I think about twenty years ago and little used since then. At the same time it was converted to take allen bolt fixing brakes. Its in very nice condition with just a few marks to the paint and decals. Would make a very cool conversion to fixed or singlespeed. £275

RALEIGH ARENA ROAD BIKE late 1970s/early 80s
Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 26 x 1 1/4in (700C will fit easily with closer clearance brakes)
Seatpost size: 25.4mm
Raleigh Athenas were the first racer many had in the 1970s. This one is in very nice condition and is easily converted to 700C wheels where the brake drop is just 53mm. It would make a very straightforward fixed/singlespeed conversion. £79

That chessini is way too small for me but "Oh My God" it's lush.

YOU KNOW THAT,PROV Dibs on the Chessini awaiting answers to my Q's, been looking for something of this calibre ( built up if I'm honest) since I fooked my knee and gotta stay away from fixed for a while. Any one got a complete campag group and finishing kit and a set of open pro's or c.d's laced to some campy road hubs? so I can build it up stat. I know I don't ask for much ; )

is this still available:

MBK ROAD FRAME c1994
