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

After two years in love, our mad friend decides to put some (shorter) cranks
and new cog - chain.
We decide to recompense him with a decent paint job for his beauty.
If anyone knows anything about will help a lot.

The dealer that sold it said something about being a Bianchi and the original
paint work was something like gold-brown shadows on silver metallic base.
No drills, italian threaded.
sorry about the phone photos... we try to surprise him.

Posted this in current projects, picked it up off eBay as an unknown. Any ideas?

benotto? has some similarities to mine

benotto? has some similarities to mine

Any particular similarities? Not had any joy identifying it. Only markings I can find are 'V851' on steerer and bottom bracket.

nah never mind, mine has identical dropouts, fork lugs and rear bridge.. then i realised this doesn't actually mean much

Ah OK sound, would of been useful to know because I think I'm going to get rid soon. Cheers

Any thoughts on this? Resprayed as Colnago.

some joker's melted your top tube.

Hi does anyone know what chainset this is? Its on a Colnago international 1983, and I think its a super record but not sure....
Thanks

Hi folks,

Thought I'd stop lurking and post some photos.

Please can anyone shed some light onto this little beauty?

This Viscount has the typical splined BB, and has "Tony Doyle 1980 British & World Champion 1981 British Champion" with a Doyle signature on the top tube, as well as "1981 Triple British Champions" on the down tube.

Please ask if you need more info.

Rob

i found a tange that have a similar TT

Can someone help me with this old birds age?
BSA Sport 10 speed, picked up off ebay, listed as 'bike'

Would adding the frame number help identify a year or if indeed she was formed in Birmingham?

Now something else. Just picked up this NOS DA 7400-A seatpost, but can't find any info of black editions ever released..

Thought it was a 26.8, but it's 25.8, so I guess I'll put it up for sale..
Rare? eBay ca-ching?

^ black hubs and cranksets, see the 5th link. I once sold a DA gruppo with black calipers

it would be SO cool to get all of those black parts together...

Look at the scripts/font.. Not the same era.. Cool bit though..

Cheers!

Shimano produced a lot of custom goods for good clients.
You'll never find that in catalogues or so.

thanks andy.w

It must be Maxincrowe in stealth mode!

went to my uncle's and he showed me these beauties, any help with vague year/value would be lovely. looked into both, cant find much info on oscar egg frames, but i know that it's super light and pretty old, since he died in 1961. the bates was built in 75-77 for a woman named merrid, had zeus solid rubber tyres! so no help needed on the year for that, but i dont know whether it's horace bates or e g bates.

thanks

Oscar Egg had a shop in the Avenue de la Grande Armee, that's the road directly opposite the Champs Elysees off the Arc de Triomphe in Paris right up to the late 70's. He might have been dead but they were still making frames in his name until then.

It's a lovely looking frame.

thanks, good to know
