Hi everyone,
I’ve just sorted out three excellent lo-pro frames. Shipping on frames within the UK will be £11 - other items can ship free of charge in the same box. I can ship anywhere in the world at a reasonable cost.
ALL ITEMS ARE IN BRISTOL
Unless specifically described I do not guarantee headsets or BBs which are fitted to frames. With all frames I can fit headsets or BBs - headset fitting costs £12; please see my latest headset thread:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread53572.html
for details of what is available.
Payment can be via bank transfer (preferred), cheque or the dreaded Paypal which costs me 3%…
** If you dib an item, please PM me and pay the same day unless you make other arrangements with me. Otherwise it may well be sold to the next person who wants it...**
Viewing/Personal collection is welcome as quite a few have found and have been able to get other parts they are looking for at the same time.

EDDY MERCKX LO-PRO FRAME 1990

This Eddy Merckx lo-pro is one of the few lo-pros that can be used easily with a fixed wheel – it has horizontal dropouts. The pearl white paint is quite useable but has quite a number of marks and chips. However the frame is very sound. The chrome front forks are a replacement – I can fit a headset for a small additional cost. £189
NEIL ORRELL LO-PRO FRAME
Seat Tube (ctt): 21in (53cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22in (56cm)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: Front 24in rear: 700C/sprints
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531C
Neil Orrrell a framebuilder from the north-west makes some very beautiful frames – this lo-pro is no exception. Look at the excellent part fillet brazed head tube... The curved seat tube and top tube are very elegantly done. 24in high pressure rims and tyres are quite easily available. I also have a good selection of high quality 24in tubulars... The sprint front wheel is included with the frame. £165
RICK POWELL LO-PRO FRAME 1990
Seat Tube (ctt): 22.5in (57cm)
Top Tube (ctc): 22.25in (56.5cm)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheel size: Front 26in/650C rear: 700C/sprints
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531C
This is a rather nicely made lo-pro frame which was built by Rick Powell in March 1990... Its painted in silver and has a few smallish scratches but is very useable as is. The dropouts are semi vertical allowing a little chain adjustment though I imagine setting up a fixed or singlespeed would need quite a lot care and fiddling... £120
