Love that Harry Quinn - I've been looking for one for ages - Just too big! The Holdsworth too.. If you get hold of anything similar - 50's / 60's road or path but in a 56 or 57 cm seat tube please let me know!

quinn is lust, even better when seen in flesh. trust me.
-
Provisional second dibs on the Ciocc.
-
McLovin' the Ciocc.
However, my priorities lay elsewhere...
-
Any details of the tubing/weight of the Raleigh?
-
It's entirely possible that the BB shell on the Quinn was done by him. I seem to recall reading a review of a road frameset that mentioned this.
That's interesting. It does look hand cut but it's not a bodge-job by any means.
Any details of the tubing/weight of the Raleigh?
Has the Raleigh got a frame number on the bottom bracket?
I don't know what the tubing is I'm afraid. I can take an accurate seatpost diameter reading on Monday that will give some indication. There's no serial number on the bb, just an R and a P on the steerer tube.

That would be useful - Also is the steerer and BB shell british threaded?

Provisional dibs on the Quinn.
PM on its way -
Undibs the Quinn.
It's clearly got vertical dropouts but I was blinded by it's beauty.
Good luck with the sale.

Why would you think the Raleigh is not a Raleigh? Lovely little frame... Tempted to buy it for my gf but can't justify a new bike for her...

I've seen a Harry Quinn track frame that had the same treatment on the bottom bracket. Someone on here, I think.
Nice frames.
It was covered up with duct tape in fact. I wanna see that Quinn track, must've been an oldie...
Why would you think the Raleigh is not a Raleigh? Lovely little frame... Tempted to buy it for my gf but can't justify a new bike for her...
I think it's sold already Chris.

Hi,
I have quite a few frames up for sale, both track frames and road. All are available for collection from Newington Green, N1 or I can post worldwide.
PLEASE NOTE: The colours on the photos have come out a little washed out once uploaded. The Ciocc for example is a seriously bright fluro orange fade.
Bob Jackson Track Frameset - SOLD
Seat Tube: 51 ctt, Top Tube: 52 ctc
Rear Spacing: 120mm

One for the little people. Tidy little Bobbie J track frame, built from Reynolds 531 Competition tubing. I bought this a while ago and can't remember the story exactly, but my vague memory tells me it was a custom frame with bottle bosses requested. Anyway, it's lovely, with striking paint and generally in very good condition. There are a few touch-ups, mainly to the down-tube decal, but they're well done and barely noticeable.
Mick Gray Track Frameset - PRICE DROP £275
Seat Tube: 59 ctt, Top Tube: 57 ctc
Rear Spacing: 120mm

Beautifully simple, understated track frame for the larger gent. Well built frame by Mick Gray of Essex, built from 531 tubing, tidy brazing, Campy dropouts and with seriously beefy stays and fork blades to withstand the force of a 6ft+ sprinter. The fork is drilled for a brake.
Raleigh? Track Frame - SOLD
Seat Tube: 52 ctt, Top Tube: 54 ctc
Rear Spacing: 120mm

I'm not sure if this is a Raleigh track frame, as I've never seen a low-end one. I can't imagine someone going to the lengths of re-painting something as a Raleigh, with original headbadge and proper paint-scheme to be honest. Anyway, this a solid, beefy looking track frame. Not sure what the tubing is, but it has Campag ends and a nice flat-crown fork. It's drilled front & rear, and the rear bridge has been squished a little. Apart from that it's decent enough for a budget track frame.
Holdsworth? Path Frame - PRICE DROP £90
Seat Tube: 60 ctt, Top Tube: 57 ctc
Rear Spacing: 120mm

I bought this on ebay a while ago and the seller was a little dishonest. It was listed as a Holdsworth, I have not confirmed the authenticity of this, however I do know the forks are not original as the numbers do not match. They look fine with the frame though. I could tell it was beaten up, but he failed to tell me about the dents in the frame. There's a decent sized one in the top tube and then a few more little ones to boot. One of the rear stays has also been stretched out, probably to squeeze a 120mm wheel in there. This is still a salvageable frame, I was planning on restoring it but I have far too many projects on at the moment so hopefully someone else can bring it back to life. I'd like to almost get my money back, so £95 would be good.
Viner Super Professional Frameset - SOLD
Seat Tube: 56 ctt, Top Tube: 55 ctc
Rear Spacing: 125mm
Photos: https://picasaweb.google.com/wayneblenkin/VinerRoadFrame56cm?authuser=0&feat=directlink
Stunning Viner Super Pro from the early 80s, built from Columbus SL. Top of the range frame from the less worshiped Italian frame builder. This really is stunning, with impressive brazing and even more impressive star cut-outs all over the place. I've had other Viner frames and this one is by far the best. Finished in an electric blue with near-perfect chrome. Excellent.
Ciocc Road Frameset - SOLD
Seat Tube: 55 ctt, Top Tube: 55 ctc
Rear Spacing: 126mm
Photos: https://picasaweb.google.com/wayneblenkin/CioccRoadFrame55cm?authuser=0&feat=directlink
A very nice Ciocc frame from what I imagine is the mid-late 80s given the fade job. I'm struggling to positively nail the model and year down, but whatever it is, it's rather striking. It's very well built. A great example of one of the better Ciocc frames. I'm inclined to say it's an Aelle model as the seatpost is around 26.8. The full chrome, however, is only really seen on the high-end Ciocc frames. It's very lightweight too which is reassuring. The condition, as you can see, is very special. Only the odd tiny mark and generally very good chrome.
Harry Quinn Road Frameset c.1960s - PRICE DROP - £135
Seat Tube: 60 ctt, Top Tube: 58 ctc
Rear Spacing: 119mm

This is one of my favourite current frames. A mid 1960s, somewhere around 1965, Harry Quinn road frame, built from Reynolds 531 tubing. Fantastic lug-work, lug lining and with fantastic patina. It has been repainted (previously red), but it's been done to a high standard. The chrome is suffering in parts, the worst of which is on the inside of the fork blades. The frame is far from perfect but it does looks great for one of the earlier Harry Quinns. One of the fork blades has taken a knock and bent the dropout a little, resulting in a slight kink in the fork blade. The bottom bracket shell has also been cut-out by the previous owner, which is very interesting.
Alona Road Frameset - £55
Seat Tube: 60 ctt, Top Tube: 57 ctc
Rear Spacing: 122mm

I know very little, in fact, I know nothing about Alona frames. However, this is actually a neat frame, I'm not sure what tubing it's built from but it's tremendously light. The detail is impressive, with nice little cut-outs on the inside of the fork crown and in the BB shell. It came to me from the other side of Europe and it received a knock in the post which resulted in a dented down-tube. Fortunately it's in the middle of the tube and the frame is still straight. It's fine for someone looking for a cheap frame.
