Two projects that didn't make it.
Firstly my project. It saddens me to sell this frame as I had intended to do a full build and make this my every day rider. Unfortunately it hadn't been measured properly and it's not big enough. I'm considering building it up for the GF as I love the frame, I really do like the frame. But I could do with the cash.
It's a quality custom built frame from a classic British Bike builder Barry Chick. He built his own bikes, the best Shorter bikes and bikes for Condor among others. The bike is Columbus tubing but like all the chick bikes i've seen it doesn't say which tubing. It's super light so I'm guessing it's high up in the range. Looks like it was built for a Italian lover as it has part of an italian cobra headset, campagnolo rear drop-outs and what looks like a homage to a Ciocc bottom bracket. His classic 70's style seat stays are present although not the stamped variety. Comes with chromed 531 forks by AI Equipment.
Sorry about the pics, crappy iPhone. Don't do the colours justice. It's a lovely bright red. My favourite bike colour.
Here's some of his bikes: http://www.lfgss.com/thread31119.html and some info on him. http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/v/Peter-Kohler-Cycle-Collection/Alan+Shorter/

Secondly the frame my girlfriend bought without knowing I'd secretly bought her a beautiful 70's 531c Falcon full bike already. A classic 60's/70's Ernie Clements designed frame with beautiful wrap-over seat stays, nice lugs and the beautiful Falcon badge. It's in a brilliant copper orange and has the original decals. Comes with the fitted headset and BB.
Size: 56cm x 56cm (22" x 22") C-C
