Chas Roberts frames are consistently beautiful – this tiny road frame, about as small as you can sensibly go with 700C wheels is exquisitely fillet brazed from Columbus EL tubing. The frame is in excellent condition and the paint has only a few small marks. The cartridge bearing Shimano 600 headset feels to be in excellent condition. The vertical dropouts mean it is not ideal for singlespeed or fixed conversion. £185

This is an extremely beautiful Pat Hanlon road frame built from Reynolds 531 SL tubing with the most gorgeous extremely long spearpoint lugs with elongated windows.

The paint is in near excellent condition with a few small marks a few small well touched up marks - the deep red flam still looks truly splendid. The chrome plating is excellent. The dropouts are Campag vertical reinforced on their insides - this makes it not very suitable for a fixed or singlespeed conversion. £195

Hi Hilary, would the downtube bosses on the Wilson work with STIs?

Hi Hillary,
