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

Fork anyone?

I ride this

And need some forks which look like this

Does anyone know of a similar looking 1 1/8th steel or aluminium, need to be drilled or drillable for a brake but with the smallest clearance possible, also quite a low rake.

Whoever wins and finds me some will get a free 'frame keychain' I'm working on at work. Peace

You can always try a set of those.
I have never seen a fork of that quality with an 1 1/8" steerer.

Link take me to a Chris king?

Hi, I bought my track bike bike complete for the princely sum of £20.00. Since then i have used the same bars and stem but changed the grouppo over to Miche Primato (C2004). The saddle is a 2005 Ltd swallow.

At time of purchase, the bike was equipped with Campag record Hubs; Rear being a Route Super Champion Competition, high flange (with 1969 National Track Championship scrutineers sticker), the front a Fiamme Red Label, low flange.

I do not have any idea of the BB beyond it being a Campagnolo version marked with Dims only.The cranks are/were by Williams. The stem is a 1" quill with Cinelli alloy bars.

I am really keen to ID the frame though. I am about to restore it and would like to know who the frame builder was/is. It has a hole for a break on the boss at the rear (could have been drilled any time), but otherwise dimensionally is a track bike; 11" floor to BB, steep angles etc.

Can anyone please help in ID'ing the frame or point me in the right direction from the photos below? There are no serial markings at all anywhere on the frame other than 'EO' on the BB shell in a diamond

Thanks for reading

^ 26.2 on the seatpost is an initial clue....

I think a hefty plain gauge 531 frame might possibly come out at 26.2, but 27.0/27.2 are much more common, is it a particularly heavy frame?
Whatabout the outer diameter of the seattube? Measure it, the standard is 1.125" (28.6mm) which would mean pretty thick walls with a 26.2 seat post

Unless it's French, a bike of that era would most likely be made from Reynolds 531 or Columbus SL or SLX.... the single-butted seat tube was 0.9mm thick at the bottom and 0.6mm thick at the top giving a 27.4ish opening into which a 27.2mm seatpost would usually fit.
For bigger frames, heftier tubes were used, like Columbus SP with 1mm wall thickness at plain gauge. This would mean 26.5 - 26.6 ish....
Curious.

It looks like an excellent frame, very elegant. Are the track ends marked Shimano?
That'd be another clue, I'm beginning to wonder if it might be japanese perhaps.....

Do you have a serial number on the frame? if so, where and what is it?

/\ /\ I'll give you triple what you payed for it in original condition.

Good deal for you!

Can anybody give me any more information on this frame? Ta!

know the type, it's a 70's super, will be in the for sale section
are you sure its a 70's model? looks later. 80's....[ I haz 1978] different decals and other tiny campy diffs

Thanks anyway bro!

Got a blb roadrat riser and want to put a frontbrake lever on it as close as possible to the middle. Which brake lever would you recommend?

Been trying to find info on an old bike I have but google is failing me. I need to know what BB this takes as I need to replace it. It is a Emmelle Team MBK.

I will try do have better pic in an hour or 2.

Im wanting help to identify this frame. I found an identical one here but mine has no frame number in the usual places -

I have been told it might have been built by Ron Thomas

I'll post a decription later but an interesting feature is internal cable run which exits from a hole at rear of seat tube.
NLL

i have this Otero frame coming to me shortly. i have never heard of them and not found much on the net.
i was told that it was a pro frame from the spanish SEUR pro team..? don't know how true this is. although it does have a number tag under the TT.
anyone have any info on this frame?

i will be building it up with a shimano 105 group.
many thanks

Back in the early 90's Malcolm Elliott rode with Seur, on an Otero
All the ones I remember were Red & White, but my memory's far from infalible!!!
Here's a video of Him at the Giro

Here's some other random punter on a red Otero...

Anybody got infos on Mercier? I got this frame for a while now laying around, still searching for info on the year, parts and decals to fit.

It has Campagnolo drop-outs, so a bit unusual for a french bike, and no eyelets. bad paint job, so I think it was repainted. Another strange thing are the cable housings on the right downside of the top tube, haven't seen this on any other Mercier before.

I will build it up with Shimano 600 Arabesque as the back brake will fit best this way. The whole set weights ~2900g, so I think it is made of Reynolds 531 or some kind of Columbus steel but the diametre is 26.4mm or .6mm, so probably no 531 or SL.

Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I was hoping someone could help me identify the blue bike in this picture.
Any clues to make, model or era would be most appreciated.

Cheers

looks like a lab/collie cross

looks like a Schwinn

^this

Ok, I asked Hillyben about this and he thinks it might be dutch... can any of you lend a hand? It's labelled Giovani and has Colnago style lug cuts outs, thats as far as my knowledge extends. 27.2 post...

really like the blue one, would make a good project
