KOGA MIYATA ROADSPEED ROAD FRAME 1980
Seat Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 45mm
Frame tubing: Tange double butted tubing
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
Koga Miyata have a very deserved reputation for building excellent frames - this frame is really very nice. The paint is generally in very good condition with just a few marks. The horizontal dropouts make it suitable for use as a singlespeed or fixed conversion. SOLD

GRAHAM WEIGH ROAD FRAME Reynolds 653 Early 90s
Seat Tube (ctt): 21.5in (55cm)

Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C/sprints with brake drop of 45mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 653
Reynolds 653 tubing was lighter and stronger version than Reynolds 531 – the seatstays and chainstays were in fact 753 whilst the main triangle tubes were a version of 531 which had been strength enhanced and drawn to thinner gauges. This Graham Weigh frame is really very nicely built and the paint is in excellent condition. It would make a straightforward fixed or singlespeed conversion with its horizontal dropouts. SOLD

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

Wheel size: 700C/sprints with brake drop of 53mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
This Raleigh RRA road frame is in sound condition despite the paint being quite distressed. It could be used as is or be given a powder coat. It will make an excellent fixed or singlespeed conversion at an economical price. £69

NONAME 1970s ROAD FRAME
Seat Tube (ctt): 22.5in (57cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 21.75in (55.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: 700C/sprints with brake drop of 50mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing; Reynolds 531 double butted
This road frame from the early 1970s is very well built – and was obviously designed for road racing racing pure and simple. The fastback seat cluster is nicely executed. I do not know who built it but there are signs of several layers of paint so it may be possible to take off a layer or so at a time with paintstripper to find original decals. It will make a very easy fixed or singlespeed conversion. £75

BRIAN ROURKE ROAD FRAME c1996
Seat Tube (ctt): 20.5in (52cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 20.75in (52.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 42mm
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 531C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Brian Rourke framesets were and some I believe are still produced in their own workshop by Paul Washington - this frame features his very distinctive and special wrap over seat stays. And has hardly been used - the kit that was taken off looked as if it had not done 100 miles... The paint is truly excellent with just a couple of small chips. This frame I think dates from the middle/late 1990s. I was very impressed by Paul Washington’s workshop when I visited about 12 years ago and his frames are really rather special. SOLD

PARAMOUNT TOURING FRAME Nervex Pro lugs
Seat Tube (ctt): 22in (56cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.25in (56.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted

This Paramount road frame had a seized in seat post hence the grey primer paint on the seat tube. Paramount frames were built and by A & C Sports in Mansfield. Otherwise its in very sound condition though the headset needs replacing... It will make a very straightforward conversion or an ideal commuter or light tourer, it has rack mounts brazed-on the seatstays. £75

John Pavey’s shop was just on the western outskirts of Cambridge. This is a well built road frame from the early 1990s. The paint is in very good/excellent condition and it wioll make a very easy fixed or singlespeed conversion. SOLD

Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 50mm
Bottom Bracket Threads: English
Seatpost size: 26.8mm
I am not certain of the make of this frame - it has Peugeot 531 forks and takes a 26.8mm seatpost so is built from quality double butted tubing. The paint is in very good/excellent condition. The BB threads are English. It would maske a very econmocally priced quality fixed or single speed conversion SOLD

Raleigh introduced their Dyna-Tech frames in 1990 – the Pro was the top model in the range and this one is in excellent condition. They are really rather special and this one must be one of the early ones... £185
