Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
This Shorter road frame built with Reynolds 531 double butted tubing dates I think from the late 1970s. Its built with the very classic Nervex Pro lugs which have been very nicely filed - it may well have been built by Barry Chick who built many of Shorter’s frames in the 1970s and 80s. The paint is generally very good to excellent with only a few small marks. It would make a straightforward fixed or singlespeed conversion with its long Campag dropouts. £125

Willengale was a small bike shop in Sutton on the southern reaches of London - this large road frame dates I think from about 1950. Its built from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing and what I think are Oscar Egg lugs. It has Chater Lea rear dropouts. Its patina is very attractive. And it could easily be used as a fixed or single speed conversion. £145

CLAUD BUTLER COUREUR ROAD FRAME 1960s
Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm (23in)

Frame tubing: Reynolds 531
Seatpost size: 26.4mm
This Claud Butler road frame from I think the 1960s is in exceptionally sound condition. But it really needs repainting - its paint is in very poor condition - the price reflects this... It could easily be used as a singlespeed or fixed conversion. £39

ARTHUR CAYGILL ROAD FRAME
Seat Tube (ctt): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 54cm (21.25in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm

This Arthur Caygill road frame from the 1980s is finished in an unusual speckled white paint which is in very good condition with just a few marks. The frame built from Reynolds 531C tubing. It has semi-vertical dropouts which makes it slightly more tricky to use as a singlespeed conversion - however the slight angle of the dropouts should mean its possible to get a tight chain with most sprocket/chainwheel combinations especially if a half link is used. £89

Seat Tube (ctc): 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 58cm (23in)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C/sprints with brake drop of 50mm
This Peugeot Triathlon road frame built from Reynolds 531 tubing is in very good sound condition. It will make an ideal winter or trainer bike with gears - the vertical dropouts make it unsuitable for use as a singlespeed or fixed conversion. £79
