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

the frame looks like an early 80s super/mexico with the crimped top tube
the forks look like not Colnago

Do these ring bells with anyone?

Certainly not a Pinny, but Campag dropouts front and rear, scalloped seat stay caps and the drilling suggest, to me anyway, that something quite nice is lurking under that paint.

show the fork crown side on pls

Best I can do, not actually in my possession.

The drilled bb and drop outs suggest ken/Alec bird or Barry chick maybe? Any serial numbers?

^^ looks quite 70's TT to me - presumably it's a 1.37" BB.
Other possibilities include Aende, Dave Russell, Chas Roberts...

Thanks all! That does sound likely.

As best as I can make out, the S/N is "535".

What is a 1.37" bottom bracket?

Newbie to the forum - loving this graphic, always been fascinated with vintage Dawes kit j

Be interesting to see if you can resurrect those rusty brakes - pls post pics if you do J

If you need help I can get the rust and just the rust off for you with electrolysis although you may be astonished / horrified by what you get back!

Same nervex lugs, same forks and fork crown, 531 tubing... What do you reckon, do you think it's a Holdsworth 531 special?

if like mine you have the original forks they used to stamp a frame number onto those too. someone might have also filled the headbadge holes up, painted over and stuck a badge on. reason why i haven't bought a headbadge is the price!

^^maybe a cad2, 97/98? set up as a singlespeed, avid levers, syncros stem, forks look strange though

the saddle nose is like a droopy dick. Nuff info?

Hello. Any idea what could it be?

Evenin', yeah the frame number matches the number on the steerer tube, so they are original, so I'm pretty convinced now... I know on the head badge, crazy money, but a proper finishing touch...

I'm talking to a gent right now who has original 531 Special decals and repro head badges which are accurate stampings from new tooling - painted after production to original colours. As you say, they're not cheap, but I'm considering it, just because it'd give it back its heritage. Let me know if you want the contact...

might be techno 5?

Bought an Olmo Leader yesterday and its seatpost has me perplexed. The bike is from around 1985 going by the components.

The seatpost has a similar design to the super record and C record seatposts of that era but the shape of the aero part is distinctly different (diamond shaped in cross section).

Anyone familiar with it?

rare but not uncommon

C Record looks alike but it's not the same...

You're not looking at the right ad: I made the same mistake.

Because the auction has ended Ebay shows an alternative: there's a link to the original ad at the top of the listing.

Ah right! Yeah that one is like mine indeed. Super Record aero it is then.

Thanks!
