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

Anyone have any ideas about this? It has Raleigh decals but I'm dubious. Couldn't find any serial numbers :S

Also it has a square plate on the seat stays instead of the normal brace

That's a serial number on the seat-tube - which makes it look like a Raleigh-made model. Rear dropouts are made for a Sturmey Archer 3 speed. Flat bridge and hefty lugs make it look like a low-end roadster frame. Fork crown is not the usual Raleigh crown so it might be one of their sub-brands; perhaps Triumph, Hercules, Sunbeam or BSA, but cheaper Raleighs had them too.

Don't know a huge amount about steel pinarello's but I think the Treviso was also made from Aelle.... May be worth considering.
Probably worth searching Flickr too, see if you can find a paint-job match, most are blue-white-blue fades rather than the white-blue-white!

Thanks Rik, I've been trawling Flickr but you are right, all the other colour schemes are reversed...
Treviso or Venetto it is!

i have picked up a Dave Russell TT frame. it has mech hanger and track drop-outs. its a really beautiful frame. i feel its nicer than 531, but have no way of knowing...... how can i find out this information? who should i contact?

BB has serial number, first 2 letters are the original buyers initials
4 digits are the date stamp (year then month)
If it doesn't mention slough on the headtube badge it was made when he worked in Twyford.
There were also frames with 'DJR' rather than dave russell - these were bought in, but i'm guessing a supertoight TT frame would be a custom job.
I live near Slough, and IIRC Dave built wheels for Stowes (Windsor) so I can swing by and see if there's anyone there who's still in contact with his son, or knows much about the business/customers.
Hope this helps.

amazing i will pm you some info later. thanks Rik!

It's fillet brazed and quite old if that's a grease nipple on the BB shell. I'd guess therefore it's a Claud Butler. What to the dropouts look like?

Spoke to the guys at Stows, apparently all the documentation that went with the frames was binned when the business was sold on by his children after his death about 4 years ago so no records remain.
The vast majority of his frames were made from Reynolds tube sets, and from the late 70's onwards it was mostly 753. Prior to that he built in 531c. That said, he did build a few frames in Columbus.
If you're planning to refinish the frame, the decal sets offered by Lloyd of Penrith are of excellent quality.

Would really appreciate if someone could help me to figure out what year this is from. Thanks

Anyone know any frame builders who have used twice drilled lugs? frame Im looking at is a 70s track frame, has plain spearpoint lugs with two holes drilled like a cinelli, one smaller one above larger.. same on forks..

any leads appreciated.

This sort of thing?

Popular on British TT bikes back in the 70's Roberts, Ron Cooper, Dave Russell, Aende et al.

What would a fair price for at Gorilla Zengang frame, Leader I05TR fork & BBB headset be?

Used for about 600km and good condition.

(sorry if wrong thread)

Thanks.. And sorry.. ;-)

any ideas as to this? drilled prugnant type 1 lugs, frame number 14177, which to me suggests 14th jan 77, but it looks a bit earlier than that to me...

thoughts of a lee cooper circe 1970 or a roberts of the same era..

no idea though really..

I'm not sure when Chas Roberts started, but my gut feel is that this frame ^ is a fair bit older than my TT bike - looks more like mid-60's to my eye, but then again track frames tend to be more traditional looking.
Looks very exciting though!

Anyone know much about Bolher frames?

Anyone recognise this Mavic rim?

It's aero, black, 20mm deep and 19mm wide. CXP something-or-other, thinking possibly a CXP-10? mainly because I can't find information on them. CXP-11 is 20mm high but 20mm wide, and that's the closest match I've found so far.

I've been a little mystified by this one, I must admit. I've never seen a frame with a grease port (common up until the 50's) with a seat clamp (not particularly common until the 90's)... The lugless construction is interesting too and helps narrrow it down.
Claud Butler is a good shout, but I think you also should look at Holdsworth who produced a model known as the LA QUELDA - lugless construction with a seat clamp.

Hi guys
I picked up this frame today but it has no markings or serial numbers on it, any clues who made it? Its very light

My father had this frame about 30 years ago and thought it to be an RJ Quinn.
I subsequently got it resprayed by Quinn's in Liverpool 20 years ago when he passed away and added braze ons for the down tube gear leavers, however I don't think this is a Quinn frame due to the style of lugs used and also I don't think the tubs are butted. Any ideas or thoughts would be much appreciated.

^ To get a definate answer on whether it's a quinn, it may be worth contacting this blogger http://merseysidebicycles.blogspot.co.uk/
A serial number is almost essential when trying to id a bike frame, you'll probably find one on the bottom bracket , seat clamp lug or rear dropout. There should also be one on the fork steerer tube.

Does anyone recognise anything about this frame/bike? Ignore the "HP" sticker that is crudely replacing a badge. It came with 27" French Wheels (Maillard), Suntour mechs and shifters, and the bars are 'World Custom' Japan.

It seems to be a fairly cheap bike from the 70's to me. No Tubing stickers of any sort. Only a BB number '2236' on the underside of frame. Lugs look nice so I might strip it and give it a lease of life.

claud buttler?

Thanks for the feedback Rik, I'll try the other site as you suggested.
There is a serial number of 481 stamped on the underside of the BB but that's about all there is to distinguish it.

Thanks Rik

I am confused too. Maby ill take to it with a wire brush and see if any numbers will come up. Also odd it has only one braze on for a gear shifter.
