RALEIGH EQUIPE ROAD FRAME c1989
Seat Tube (ctt) : 62cm (24.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C front and rear (brake drop of approx 46mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
Seatpost size: 25.8mm
This late 80s lugged steel Raleigh road frame is in very sound condition - the paint has quite a number of marks especially on the decals but is ideal with its horizontal dropouts and 120mm dropout width for fixed or singlespeed conversion. £33

FREJUS SUPER CORSA c1955/6
Seat Tube (ctc) : 57cm (22.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55.5cm (21.75in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 57mm)
Bottom bracket threads: Italian
Seatpost size: 26.8mm
Frejus were one of the most winning Italian road bikes from the 1930s through to the 60s... This is the Super Corsa model which was the top model in the range. This frame will restore extremely nicely. Complete with Frejus chainset, Simplex chainrings, Frejus headset and BB. £145 ono

RORY O’BRIEN ROAD FRAME 1961 built by Les Ephgrave one owner
Seat Tube (ctt) : 51cm (20in)
Top Tube (ctc): 52cm (20.5in)
Rear dropout width: 120mm
Wheel size: 27s, Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 57mm)
Bottom bracket threads: English
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This frame has had one lady owner from new - she was the wife of one of the riders on Rory O’Brien’s race team - they all rode Ephgrave built ROBs and she went along to Ephgrave to get measured up and this frame was the result... Its in its original paint and has many of the Ephgrave details - in particular the seatstay bridge and fork crown. It has unfortunately had its Campag gear hanger cut off... £245

POLLARD ROAD FRAME 24.5in Nervex Pro 1960s
Seat Tube (ctt): 24.5in
Top Tube (ctc): 23in
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C with a brake drop of 50mm
Seatpost size 27.2mm
Pollards were a Coventry framebuilder who I think closed in the late 1980s/early 1990s. This frame is in sound condition and is I am sure built from Reynolds 531 double-butted tuning; the lugs are Nervx Pro and once refrinished it will look very beautiful - the rear dropouts are Campagnolo vertical making it not so ideal for singlespeed or fixed wheel use. £45

EDDY MERCKX PROFESSIONAL ROAD FRAME c1983
Seat Tube (ctc): 57cm
Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 45mm
Eddy Merckx steel frames are some of the nicest riders made - this one from the early 80s is in very sound condition but really needs repainting. However it is one of the the examples built from Reynolds 531 double-butted tubing. The horizontal dropouts mean that that it is ideal as a single speed or fixed conversion. £165

RIBBLE ROAD FRAME 1998 Reynolds 853
Seat Tube (ctt of top tube): 21.75in (55.5cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 21in (53cm)
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C with a brake drop of 43mm
Seatpost size 27.2mm
This is an extremely nicely tig welded Reynolds 853 road frame which is complete with Columbus straight bladed forks, an excellent headset and bottom bracket. £125

COLNAGO OVAL CX c1981/2
Seat Tube (ctc): 21.5in (55cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22in (56cm)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Seatpost size: 20mm
Colnago Oval CXs are not especially common. This one is very sound – it has been repainted, the paint is very good though a little pitting on the underside of the top tube has not been filled. This would not normally be noticeable when built-up. Otherwise this frame is exceptionally sound. £395

DE ROSA AERODINAMICA c1981/2
Seat Tube (ctc): 23.5in (59.5cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.5in (57cm)
Rear dropout width: 124mm
Wheel size: 700C
This is a De Rosa TT frame built from Columbus Air tubing which has conventional round ends at the bottom of the down and seat tubes making it possible to be built with a lugged BB shell. At the head tube the top and down tubes have been been brazed with the most minimal of fillets to reinforcements on the head tube. The derailleur cables run side the down tube and then exit just ion front of the BB shell. This is a rather rare De Rosa frame... £325

sweet jeeezze.....

any chance of seeing pics of the De Rosa with wheels on? thx

nevermind...

Some of the pics ain't working Hilary. And that De Rosa is utterly fucking stunning, whilst it's in my size I have 2 other frames to build up.....

Can we get a working picture of the raleigh (first one in the list) please? I always prefer to see what I buy before.

Want a cheapo frame and it looks, or rather sounds, pretty good.

Cheers

And although it may be a pain could you use the pollard frame as fixed? as the dropouts arent exactly vertical..

Not likely by the look of it matey. Not enough adjustment.

I don't know exactly what went wrong with the pics to start with - they all appear to me to be working now. I did have to replace the Rory O'Brien pic but that was the only one I had trouble with...

Hilary

may i put a dibs on the pollard.
unfortunately i am unable to pm you as newly signed up to this site.

Still no photos on the Freja, the O'brien, the Raliegh, and the Ribble?
