For Sale: Mécacycle Lo Pro frame set

Hello,

Reluctant to sell this but it's a bit small for me, it doesn't make sense to keep it aside anymore.

Frame was built by Mécacycle (renowned for their turbo frame), Excell lo pro model (700/650), named after the tubes used to built it (a little bit more info here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclecrank/2159284334/).

Frame's in very good condition, it has no dents, although it has a few paint chips. Respray is fairly recent.

Size 54 high (c-t) by 55 long (c-c). Frame set includes: frame, forks, campy headset, shimano bb and the original quill seat post that I had polished.

I'd like £265 please (price already includes postage to UK/Most of EU, tracked and insured). Donation to the forum will be made once sold, like usually.

Thank you.

the clearance on those forks looks like 700c? Gorgeous frame.

That is so nice

Thanks TM.

Alfie, I tried putting a 700c wheel with a 23c tyre on, it wouldn't fit. I didn't have anything smaller. So I assumed it was 650c, maybe it was meant for something else but I honestly don't know.

From look of the seat stay bridge clearance it could've been built super tight for 700/20c or smaller? Was it close to fitting when you put the 700/23 in front?

*For the record, I'm no expert .

I think I have a front wheel with a 19c tyre on, and a rear one as well, I'll try to see what it looks like.

Bloody lovely that. Might be interested if a 700 fits up front.

If not for 700c front there is a 26" clincher trispoke here that could suit it....

SOOOOOO Nice, i wish...... :(

I dont think this is for 700c, that clearance is more road-forks-like rather than different-wheel-size-like.

beautiful lines of that frame btw

This might sound a bit 'nooblike' but whats going on with the seat clamp ?
I cant see one and was just a passing thought
Cheers

I just tried a 700 wheel with a 19c tyre on, it doesn't clear it because of 3-4mm.. so unless it was made for 700x15c tires then I think it's a road fork, with normal clearance for that use, like 1000archangels said.

4rch13: it doesn't have a seat clamp, you need a special quill seat post to be tightened with a plunger inside the frame, like a quill stem.

Pics with the 700 wheel on the front:

In the rear, clearance is tighter with a 19c tyre on.. :)

Reckon this is slightly too big for me...

with a nutted front wheel, I'd happily drop a ball bearing between the axle and the drop out and ride that.

Pure bargain for who want to monte himself a fixie with front brake, tt mono lever, sadddle abg, to bourin in street like a predator.

Did you ever manage to find an account unto which you may deposit your dead Prince brothers fortune? de Boursin WhA wa wa.....

Nood question, how is the seatpost retained?
Also could it be for 26 or 27" front wheel?

DW it's just one of those quill seatposts.

reading that thread would answer all of your questions young padawan.

Check your seat tube angle with the 700c/700c combo. It definitely isn't made for a 700c front wheel, because it fucks up the geometry like that.

Damn I want this so much. Fucking skint until I sell some shit though :/

I agree Zigura, too weird with a 700c.

By the way, frame is now sold..

Anyone knows whos selling frame like this...
