Have this which might be suitable for (2):
FALCON SAN REMO ROAD FRAME 1970s Reynolds 531 double butted
Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 50mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Falcon are best known for their budget and medium priced frames but in the 1960s and 1970s also had a top specced road frame in their range - the San Remo and they sponsored a full Professional team for much of this time. This frame belonged to Vic Smith, a top amateur road rider and time triallist in the East Midlands from the 1960s/70s. Its in very sound condition but needs repainting as the paint is in very poor condition. And will make a very easy conversion to fixed or singlespeed. £75
and what about this for (1):
ANDRE BERTIN ROAD FRAME 1970s
Seat Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 54cm (21.25in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 52mm)
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 26.6mm
This is a really rather lovely Bertin road frame from the 1970s; it has I think been repainted fairly recently in one of their Team colour schemes. The paint is generally excellent with just a few small marks. It comes complete with an excellent Stronglight roller bearing headset. £179
