Hi all,
I have a few more frames for sale, including a couple of nice track frames. All are available for collection from Newington Green, N1 or I can post at cost.
Woodrup Track - SOLD

Rear Spacing: 120mm

I love this frame. I've been hanging on to it for a while but I finally have to let go. It's an awesome pure track frame, built from Reynolds 531 and finished in such a striking deep blue with yellow decals. There are no drillings for brakes and the clearances are very tight. It's only ever been ridden on the track and is in great condition, with just a few light marks and paint chips here and there. It has Campag ends and comes complete with a nice Tange steel headset.
Stan Pike Track - PRICE DROP: £280
Seat Tube: 54 (ctt), Top Tube: 53 (ctc)
Rear Spacing: 120mm

This is my old frame that I'm selling to make way for a new build. It's a very nice frame from Stan Pike, built from Reynolds 531. I've thoroughly enjoyed riding this little number and hope someone else will too. It's drilled for both front & rear brakes and has the tiniest little ding in the top tube towards the seat tube, this really is minor and doesn't affect anything whatsoever.
Gitane Road Frame - PRICE DROP: £110
Seat Tube: 55 (ctt), Top Tube: 55 (ctc)
Rear Spacing: 126mm

Nice French road frame built from Reynolds 531 in a rich midnight blue. Simple but well built frame with nice understated branding and little touches like the pantographed fork crowns. It's not a budget frame by any means, and would make an elegant conversion with horizontal dropouts. This frame takes a French threaded bottom bracket, I can fit a nice French thread Campag one if required. The frame has a few touch-ups which aren't that noticeable.
Eddy Merckx Strada c.1986/87 - PRICE DROP: £365
Seat Tube: 59 (ctt), Top Tube: 57 (ctc)
Rear Spacing: 126mm

This 1986/87 Eddy Merckx is an absolute stunner, in fantastic condition. The frame number dates it to 1986-87, as do all the features. It's quite rare to see internal cable routing on a Strada around this time. The paintwork is wonderful and fully original, with just the odd small paint chip/scratch which I've photographed in detail (see below). The chrome is fantastic. It has Columbus dropouts front & rear. The Shimano 600 headset & BB are not included in the sale.
Unknown Road Frame - PRICE DROP: £85
Seat Tube: 55 (ctt), Top Tube: 56 (ctc)
Rear Spacing: 126mm

This does actually look very similar to a Colnago Sport, but the cut-outs in the lugs differ slightly from the ones I've seen. However, the combination of 'Colango Super' and 'Colnago Mexico' decals on either side of the top tube lead me to believe it's just badged as a Colnago. Whatever it is, it's a decent budget frame, with some nice detail in the lug-work. It also comes with a decent set of Tange forks, as the original forks were not with the frame. It has Gipiemme dropouts and comes complete with an Ofmega headset and Shimano BB.
