MKM TRACK FRAME 1970s
Seat Tube (ctt): 20.5in (52cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 20.25in (51.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted tubing
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 50mm
MKM stood for the three original partners in the firm - Arthur METCALFE, Ron KITCHING & Wes MASON and the frames were built in Harrogate during the 1970s and I think early 1980s. This small track frame is very nicely built with tight clearances and some cool features such as the engraved seatstay tops and fork crown. And the paint is in very sound condition.But it has a dent to the down tube which looks as if something has been dropped on it - this will not affect how it rides or its strength. £145

RALEIGH EQUIPE ROAD FRAME c1988
Seat Tube (ctt): 59cm (23.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 50mm
Seatpost size: 25.4mm
This Raleigh frame dates I think from the late 80s- the paint is in very good condition albeit with a few small scrapes and marks but still very presentable. It will make an ideal conversion (the offside rear dropout is easily filed out to match the left) and even has quite close clearances and not needing deep drop brakes... £43

CARLTON LONGFELLOW ROAD FRAME 1960s
Seat Tube (ctt): 66cm (26in)
Top Tube (ctc): 58cm (23in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C with brake drop of 58mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 main tubes
Seatpost size: 26.4mm
During the 1960s Carlton built a special model for tall riders - the Longfellow. This frame is without doubt a Longfellow and is in very sound condition but would benefit from a repaint. It would make a great fixed or singlespeed conversion. £49

RALEIGH R100 ROAD FRAME 1990s
Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 45mm
Seatpost size: 26.2mm
Frame tubing: Chrome-mo steel
This Raleigh road frame dates from the late 1990s is in very good condition and will make an excellent budget geared road bike - the vertical dropouts mean its not ideal for a conversion. £59

COLNAGO MAXIM MTB FRAME 45cm ctc 51cm ctt NOS c1990
Seat Tube (ctc): 45cm, 51cm ctt
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm
Rear dropout width: 135mm
This frame is built from tubing that is ovalised at both the head tube and bottom bracket - I suspect it could be Columbus Max OR tubing but I do not know for certain. The paint is in excellent unmarked condition and is really a rather unusual finish. This frame is really rather rare - early Colnago MTB frames are not seen very often. £225

BRIAN ROURKE ROAD FRAME c1996
Seat Tube (ctt): 20.5in (52cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 20.75in (52.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 42mm
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 531C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Brian Rourke framesets were and some I believe are still produced in their own workshop by Paul Washington - this frame features his very distinctive and special wrap over seat stays. And has hardly been used - the kit that was taken off looked as if it had not done 100 miles... The paint is truly excellent with just a couple of small chips. This frame I think dates from the middle/late 1990s. I was very impressed by Paul Washington’s workshop when I visited about 12 years ago and his frames are really rather special. £169

BARRON CYCLOCROSS FRAME late 1980s also suitable for touring
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531C tubing
This is a very nice cyclocross frame in very sound condition - the paint is generally excellent with only a few small marks. Cable routing is along the top of the top tube. Barron was a well respected frame builder from near Lincoln - I have had several exceptionally nice Barron frames through my hands over the past three years. £125

SWINNERTON ROAD FRAME c1989
Seat Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: 700C (brake drop 44mm)
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 653
This Swinnerton road frame built from the light Reynolds 653 tubing is in very good condition except for some paint scrapes on the right-hand seatstay. It could well have been built by George Longstaff (George’s daughter managed the Swinnerton shop) and their top frames were built by Longstaffs for quite a period of frame - it certainly shows some George Longstaff details. In my opinion George Longstaff was probably the finest British framebuilder of the last twenty years of the 20th century. It would make a very cool fixed or singlespeed conversion. £149

JAMES LENDON ROAD FRAME c1950 Made In Wales
Seat Tube (ctt): 51cm (20in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 115mm
Wheel size: 27s or 700C with brake drop of 62mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Over the years there have been very few frame builders in Wales - Tony Oliver, Nelson of Crickhowell, Reg Barnett etc but the builder of this frame is a new one on me... James Lendon of Cardiff. Its a beautifully built fillet brazed frame from I should think about 1950 - I think its quite possibly built for a hybrid gear system with Sturmey hub gear and a derailleur judging by the braze-ons but it could easily be used as a fixed or singlespeed. it is really a lovely cool frame with a great patina... £95
