For Sale: 1955 Rotrax Vel D'Hiv Frame 57cm

Ive relisted this frame due to some folks deciding it was the ideal thread for an argument?

1955 Rotrax Vel D'Hiv

57cm square ctc, 100/110mm spacing, drilled fork, mudguard eyelets front and rear.

Its generally in good condition, it has a fair amount of light surface rust. It also has two dents one under the toptube and a very small one on the drive side seat stay.

Here are some more pictures;

The eagle eyed might notice it says Alan Richards on it but I can assure you that this is a Rotrax. Alan Richards owned a shop in Birmingham called Tower cycles.

Here he is;

The frame number which is stamped twice on BB and once on the fork steerer is 55441. According to a piece written by Hillary Stone on Classic lightweights the '55' is the year of manufacture.

I would like £350

Im located in Tamworth just north of Birmingham, but I will happily box the frame up and post it.

Many thanks
Guy

haha sorry Guy, my bad...
Hope you're not very very mad!

bump for a lovely frame.

Yeah,
Nice project Archangels,
But some of us like vintage/classic.
You see to my mind yours is something that I could buy from a shop. No pedigree, no class.

Any offers on this lovely frame?

SOLD,

It will be going to a lovely home surrounded by other Rotrax's and will be restored to its former glory!
