I bought this framset from Hilary a while ago.. here's what he had to say about it at the time:
NOT A COLNAGO ROAD FRAME c1983 Belgian built
Seat Tube (ctt): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 55mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This frame is NOT a Colnago... But it is a nicely made road frame almost certainly made in Belgium - just take a look at the well finished lugs with the unusual diamond shaped windows. The frame has quite a number of marks and a ding to the chainstay - the frame alignment has been checked and is fine. Its obviously built from a high end butted tubeset - the 27.2mm seatpost size is a clear indication of this. It would make a very straightforward conversion.
Since I bought the frame, it's merely sat around taking up valuable space at Fitzrovia Bicycles, so it might as well go. I bought it with the intention of building a beater-ish geared road bike with mudguards, but it's a bit too small for me.
I paid £89 plus shipping for this. To be honest, I paid too much.
So - it's yours for just £65.
Collection from Fitzrovia Bicycles.
Cheers.
