Hi everyone, i picked this up recently. Decals say Don Farrell and another Don Farrell sticker. Lugs are BCM and not sure about drop outs. The headset is a Rino which i think are cheaper Italian headset but the guy i bought it off said it had come with a random mix of parts so may not be original.
The only serial i can see is the number on the BB but that doesn't sound like a serial number. It looks like it has had a colision at some point as some damage to the underside of the seatpost lug although it has been repainted since then and paint job looks old so I'm guessing its ok. I'm getting it checked tomorrow.
I thought at first look that it was maybe 50s or 60s but I don't know if any English builders used BCM lugs then or if it was maybe repaired by Don Farrell and resprayed and they put the decals on. It's not a great paint job.
Anyway if anyone could help i'd appreciate it. It may go up for sale on here if I can find out what it is as was looking for an English build.
Cheers,
Ross

ok, this one should be easy for the more seasoned riders among you but i can't decipher the label on this frame:
-
Cinelli Mash with what looks like a custom colourway.

^^^Rossco - Bocama Professional lugs were certainly used by UK framebuilders in the 60's so it could quite easily be British - what wheel size was it designed for (700c or 27")
Ignore the headtube badge - as far as I recall Milremo are the in-house brand at Ron Kitching - and importer of continental race kit.
Do you have a picture of the BB number and have you checked the fork steerer - if the fork steerer matches the BB that'll be your serial# if not, other numbers stamped on BB's could be rennovation numbers (e.g. if the bike was sent to a framebuilder for respray) or postcodes - an anti-theft measure.
I can't see the extra photos in the link, it goes straight to the photobucket homepage! -
^ its a Sugino factory drilled chainring
thank you - had it for years and never known, actually never been bothered to find out until now!

Hi Rik, it is 27" i think although i haven't put anything on it yet, i just got it on the weekend and in the middle of another build. Cheers for the BCM info, i couldn't find anything on English builders. Here is the pic with the bottom bracket number. I am going to ry and check the fork column tomorrow.
Do you have any idea what it could be or if its worth holding onto?
Cheers

??? It's a Leader Kagero.
label is "lbpc" i.e. leader bikes pedal consumption

Rossco - Pretty sure that's your frame number - should match the headtube.
27" makes a UK drame builder the most likely scenario - and Bocama professional lugs means it's going to be a reasonably decent frame - I don't have any more clues for you other than a trawl on the internet - classic rendezvous and classic lightweights are good places to start.For me natural curiosity means I need to know what I've got - and if you plan to sell it it's also good to know what you're selling - as far as hanging onto it is concerned I guess that's your choice - it would make a nice classic skidder in its current state, but if you were going to chuck cash and effort at it you'd need to bear in mind that you'd end up with a 27" wheeled classic with limited options in terms of tyres and rims...

Ok, do you think they are the proffesional lugs rather than the standard ones? I'll stick some wheels on it tonight and see if it is 27. I have some constrictor wheels marked as raleigh that could work. I think it has had a front collision though as slight ripple in head tube though so going to get that checked first. I have an old 40s merlin that i was building but its too big so have parts that i could swap over.
Will let you know about fork number when i check and if i get any further with it.
Cheers for your help.

Definately worth getting the headtube ripple checked -
My source of Bocama info is this catalogue page - hence my assumption of Pro rather than standard.

Hello people, I can definitely need some help identifying a bicycle I bought recently!
A few days ago I had the opportunity to buy an old (don't know how old yet) french frame from the brand "Cottereau". There seems to be hardly any record of this company on the internet so I though maybe one of you has some information regarding the bike and its age. Any help is greatly appreciated because I want to try to keep the bike as original as possible staying true to its era.
Pictures are on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/65268496@N02/ An example is shown below.
Thanks in advance!

just picked this bike up on Friday night - can't find anything online.
the decals on the down tube said "GRAND PRIX" but it's not a raleigh (AFAIK).
logo on the headstock looks like this:
i'm stumped, and dying to know who made it. estimated as being from the 70s.
rawed the bike and found this on the bottom bracket shell. any ideas?

Thanks for the advice! I was looking at the website but my french is not that great so I will need a translator for that.
Definitely going to try though, it is the only place where the brand is mentioned.

Hello,
I bought a frame off a forum member last year. He said it was a classic Bob Jackson, but it had no decals to back that up. The frame looked great and the price was right so I didn't really care if it was or wasn't. The powdercoating had rendered the frame number invisible but when I got a new headset put in the forks had a number on them - 7054. I spoke to the people at BJ and they said it wasn't one of theirs.
This is an absolute longshot I know, but does anyone have any suggestions about figuring out the identity of the frame? I'd quite like to get it resprayed and source some decals for whoever manufactured it if it's remotely possible.
Even some suggestions about who might have made it and in what era from the pictures would be amazing. Apparently it was built in 1961 according to the original message from the classified page:
"1961 Bob Jackson track frame 23" Reynolds 531 tubing"
But if it's not a BJ the 1961 could be fiction too!
Thanks

Can you help to identify these frames, bikes or parts?

yep looks identical to the second link! so indeed it was a fair price.
