Wanted: Steel Road Bike 52-54cm

Looking for something I can start doing some longer/hill rides on. Ideally a seat tube of at least 52cm ctc, and a top tube no more than 54cm. Ideally internal routing for rear brake cabling.

Brifters, not downtube shifters.

Ideally Dura Ace or Campy group.

Would also consider carbon or alu, if it's cheap and not garish.

BTW - A mate is also looking for similar, and less picky, so anything I don't go for I'll also run by him too.

Please PM if you have anything.

Got this rather splendid Rossin frame

Which I could build with a Veloce 8 speed groupset with DP18 rims. Could do it for £600 all in.

I have a 653 bike with cinelli lugs.

Currently has downtube shifters but you can get your own brifters for it. Mostly a shimano 600 groupset but the front mech is Dura Ace and the headset is Campagnolo.

I have this one under construction, DA 8 speed, seat tube 52 c-c and top tube 54 c-c

PM'd with details of Bianchi and Battaglin, both superb condition.

Also interested in frames, if anybody has some Columbus or Reynolds steel in my size.

Gutted I didn't take Chris' Battaglin!

think you should reconsider the Bianchi, lovely looking in the flesh, the Bianchi Celeste is slightly perlescent over a chromed frame and comes with brifters also. The wheelset is superb, happy to look at an offer...(don't be gutted twice!! ) :-)

Thanks. It's definitely a nice machine, but I just arranged to get hold of a little Belgium-made number. Ironically, with down tube shifters. But I may be looking to replace the parts for something a bit more modern.

Ive got an alu Argon 18 road frame with carbon stays 53cm £170 ONO

Thanks. Looks pretty nice. But I've just bought a complete bike now.
