For Sale: Three Nice Frames

I'm selling off some stuff to create some room - so that I can buy some more stuff.

First up is a NOS Gazelle 'Race' Frame and Fork

Usual Gazelle quality and attention to detail, this frame is made for Reynolds 525.

It has braze-on barrel adjusters for Ergo levers, but has horizontal dropouts, so could (heaven forbid), be set up as a fixed. It also has internal cable routing through the top tube.

Seat Tube 59cm ctc
Top Tube 57cm ctc

I would like £195.00, collection only from Greenwich SE10

NOW JUST £175.00

NOW A GIVEAWAY AT £165.00

Next up, a 55cm Brian Rourke

I bought this from the Forums very own Dusty Rumble. It is a beautiful, classically styled frame but sadly a bit too small for me.

It has recently been re-sprayed and has not been built up since - so looks really nice and fresh.

Doug reckons it's actually a Raleigh frame from the SBDU. Whoever built it clearly knew what they were doing, as the finish and detailing are superb.

Seat Tube 55cm ctc
Top Tube 56.5cm ctc

I would like £150.00 for this frame.

Collection only from Greenwich, SE10

Finally (for now), 59cm 'Roberts'

I bought this frame from eBay, and have had it kicking around the shed for ages. I am not 100% sure of its provenance, hence I have put the makers name in inverted comma's. All the other Roberts frames I have owned have had some kind of engraved detailing, whereas this frame has none.

This is however a very nicely built (and properly man-sized) frame. The fast-back seat stays are a particularly nice feature.

Top Tube 59cm ctc

I would like £150.00, collected from Greenwich, SE10

NOW JUST £140.00 SOLD SOLD SOLD

rourke lovely ! is headset included ?

Yes, should have mentioned that.

The bottom bracket grooves on the Rourke look like SBDU. Is the number visible?

damn thats a cracking frame for £150 ..........

that 'roberts' with that fastback cluster reminds me of another british builder whose name now escapes me but of whom i remember has a swan and waves or something in the headbadge? does that ring a bell for anyone?

Saturday Price Drop on Gazelle & 'Roberts'

Hi mate

Would you be willing to box them up so i could arrange my own courier ?

Thanks

Just read thread, guess its gone :(

Another price drop on the Gazelle - now just £165.00

'Roberts' still available.

j-j, what's the grade of columbus tubing on the 'roberts'?

According to the sticker, TSX

hmm, interesting, tsx features:

"Tube set for professional use, coupling maximum performance with reduced weight. It is particularly suitable for stage races of more than 150 Km over mixed terrain.In addition to butted walls, this set has five helicoidal internal reinforcements, thus giving greater rigidity against tube flexing and torsion.
Cyclex Steel - Weight: 1945 g"

any spiral ridges in TT, ST, DT and HT? weight under 2kg?

^No obvious ridges - but they are supposed to be 'internal'.
