For Sale: pretty 56/55 frame

Posted on





  • So I got this frame off ebay for 40 quid, attracted by gorgeous lugwork and nice geometry.
    But since then I havent got around to build it up, and having no funds atm means I have to let it go.

    seat tube ctt - 56cm
    top tube ctc - 56cm
    60 quid, just what I've paid for it. described as "vintage french bike frame", and being very light - 90% its 531 steel, confirmed by my LBS. No rust, everything well greased.

    Good for a beater, polo, or restoration project. note, with that kind of paintwork you dont need hi-vis!
    pickup from angel N1
    cheers :)

  • looks like the old Chater Lea lugs you'd get on French bikes. Very nice.

  • You say you paid £40 and then ask for £60 - which is it?

  • Nervex lugs I think?

  • sorry, I paid 40 + 20 postage - hence the mess.

    its 40.

    pickup only.

    narcotitlan - yeah, so do I :)

  • provisional dibs, pming now

  • Do you know if its French BB and odd seatpost sizing that they sometimes have??

  • no idea on the BB, probably I should have checked that before posting...
    the correct seatpost appears to be from 25.4 to 26.2 [measure tape, no long rizlas at home], 26.8 is too big for the tube.

  • defo interested, can collect tonite unless someone else has got there first, see pm :)

  • first dibs tripleparanoia,
    joel second!

  • Nervex lugs and judging by the cable guides and stops probably a 1960's build.....pity the rear dropouts are pressed steel rather than forged but stil very good value at £40.00

  • sold, thanks.
