PRESTO ROAD FRAME 58cm c1979
Seat Tube (ctc): 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531SL
Presto frames are practically unknown in the UK and outside of their native Netherlands but they are something really really special if this one is typical... Presto frames were built by Jan LeGrand who was the chief mechanic for the Ti-Raleigh Team during the 1970s and 1980s and back in the 60s was a good pro rider himself. Raleigh Ilkeston’s Team frames were heavily influenced by his work – indeed he used to come over before the start of each season to supervise the building of Team frames for the year. This frame is totally exquisite – take a look at the work that went into the dropouts and the stay ends both front and rear and the drilling on the underside of the fork crown. This is one very special frame. Its in virtually perfect condition. £245 SOLD subject to payment
SOMEC ROAD FRAME c1979
Seat Tube (ctc): 56cm
Top Tube (ctc): 54.5cm
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheels: 45cm
This is one truly gorgeous frame – take a look at the quality of the lugwork and the time and attention that went into the lugs – I have rarely seen another Italian frame as nice. This really blows Colnagos and such like completely out of the water... If it was my size I would definitely have kept this for myself. I have sold several other Somec frames and they were very nice but this is the best of the lot... Somec are hugely underrated. The paint and chrome are both excellent but not perfect – there's a scrape on one side of the top tube which needs touching up better and there is a tiny ding on one side of the top tube too. £245
BOB JACKSON TOURING FRAME c1992
Seat Tube (ctt): 22.5in (57.5cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22in (55.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is a late 1980s or early 1990s Bob Jackson touring frame complete with braze-ons for a rear rack and cantilever brakes. Most of the paint is in very nice condition – the exception is the paint and chrome on the chainstays – this could with a bit of care be touched up to match the rest of the frame. £125 SOLD
BOB JACKSON ROAD FRAME
Seat Tube (ctt): 60cm (23.75in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 50mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 DB
Seatpost size 27.0mm
This Bob Jackson road frame is an ideal candidate for powder coating as the paint and chrome are both in poor condition. With 120mm wide rear dropouts its ideal for a singlespeed or fixed conversion with its long horizontal dropouts. It was obviously built for sprint or 700C wheels as its clearances are typical of a late 60s/early 70s road frame ie reasonably tight... A chance to get a bargain Bob Jackson frame at only £75 SOLD
CARLTON ROAD FRAME 1970s
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 60mm
Seatpost size: 25.4
This is a really nice Carlton road frame from the 1970s which is in great condition and will clean up really rather nicely. With 120mm wide rear droputs its ideal for a singlespeed or fixed conversion with its long horizontal dropouts. £34 SOLD
DAWES 531 FRAME late 1980s
Seat Tube (ctt): 63.5cm (25in)
Top Tube (ctc): 58cm (23in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 DB
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 50mm
This is a very nice Dawes road frame from the late 1980s which is in very sound condition. Frames of this size aree really rather rare. Its ideal for a singlespeed or fixed conversion with its long horizontal dropouts. £59 SOLD
CARLTON SUPERCOURSE 1981
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in)
Top Tube (ctc): 52cm (20.5in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C
Brake drop with sprints/700C: 50mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 DB
The Supercourse was one of the top Carlton road frames in the late 70s/early 80s. This frame is in very sound condition – except for the rear gear hanger threads which need repairing if it is to be used with a gear – I can get this done at cost price by Argos if the buyer wishes. I have checked the BB threads and ran taps through them and they are perfect. The paint could be touched to make it very useable. An excellent quality frame at a bargain price. £65
CROWN COMET c1980 Reynolds 531
Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: 27in/700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 55mm
Crown frames were built by the Cyclo Gear Company in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This very sound frame is built from Reynolds 531 and with its long horizontal dropouts will make an ideal conversion to fixed or singlespeed. The paint is quite useable as it is. £65 SOLD subject to payment
