For Sale: Benotto frameset (62cm), Bianchi frameset (60cm), Build-a-beater kit, Peugeot Etoile

Two frames and two bikes that I'm getting rid of to clear space in my flat. Dibs followed by PM for any of the following. I'm in SW2 near Brockwell Park and around in the afternoons or weekends. I'd really rather not post but could possibly be persuaded to do so at cost. Preference will be given to buyers who can pick up.

*Benotto - not sure if its a Modelo 800 or 1500 (62cm) - £120*

Bought this to build up but discovered that it was too small. It's primed ready for painting. There are some marks from storage but no dents. Pretty rare to find a old Italian frame in this size. I wish I had time and space to give it a decent paintjob and new decals. I hope someone else does.

Seat tube: 62cm centre-to-centre (it's stamped 64 on the BB as this is the measurement from centre to top)
Top tube: 60cm centre-to-centre
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700c with 50mm brake drop
Seatpost size: 26.4mm
Tubing:
Dropouts: Benotto
BB: 70mm Italian threaded

*Bianchi Campione del Mondo (60cm) - SOLD*

Lightweight steel frame with very tatty paint. Cable guides mounted on top of the BB shell and on top of the chainstay. Lovely beater material (see below) or another good candidate for a respray and renovation.

Seat tube: 60cm centre-to-centre
Top tube: 58cm centre-to-centre
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700c with 50mm brake drop
Seatpost size: 27mm
Tubing: Columbus (not sure precisely which)
Dropouts: Gipiemme
BB: 68mm Italian threaded

*Build-a-beater singlespeed component set - £100*

Earmarked for the Bianchi but could obviously be used on any similar frame. I'm not willing to this split this set yet as items will be put up for sale as part of a seperate clearout thread if the set doesn't sell. PM me if you're interested in the set but want more details about any of the components.

What you'll get: non-matching 700c road wheels with spacer set, Armadillo tyres, choice of saddles, seatpost (27mm for the Bianchi or 26.4 for the Benotto), choice of Weinmann levers + hoods, choice of pedals, bars (drops or horns), Weinmann sidepull brakes + pads, 80mm or 100mm SR quill stem, mismatched Italian BB, unbranded headset, used but good condition 3/32 chain.

What you'd need: cranks and chainring, innertubes, cables, bartape.

Peugeot Etoile (56 cm) - SOLD

Smart mid-range late-80s Peugot with original components (hence the chainring guard and those GREAT reflectors). A few small marks in the paintjob, especially along the right chainstay but otherwise very good condition. All parts have been stripped, thoroughly cleaned and regreased. Cables, chain and bartape are all new and test ridden only. The original wheelset has been replaced with something lighter and stronger. The bike rides beautifully and shifts perfectly.

Dawes Galaxy (59cm) - SOLD

More photos here

Renovated late-70s or early-80s touring bike with a range of components. The paint has seen better days and the 'Galaxy' logo has been lost completely. All parts have been removed, cleaned, regreased and then ridden for perhaps 200 miles. Cables, bartape and chain are nearly new. The dual-position brake levers and stem-mounted gear shifters make it a good around-town machine. Gears and brakes working perfectly.
