For Sale: Argos Lo-Pro, Cinelli Stem, Road and Touring Frames for sale

Evening chaps,

I have a few frames and bits for sale, thanks for reading.

1. Lovely 1980s 135mm Cinelli 1R Stem, truly beautiful but too long for any of my frames. Has few little marks which i've tried to show in the photos plus some discolouration below the minimum insertion mark but otherwise very shiny. Takes 26.4mm bars (CInelli standard) and 22.2mm steerer (1" quill standard). £20

1. Argos Racing Cycles (of Bristol) Lo-Pro frame, built some time in the '90s from mixed high-grade double-butted steel. 24" seat tube, 700c front and rear, clearance for up to 23s or skinny 25s, Allen key brake drillings, semi-vertical dropouts with screw adjusters, braze-ons for DT shifters or stops and front and rear derailleur hangers, stunningly executed top-tube internal cable routing and plenty of gratuitous tasty lugwork (brake bridge, front mech plate etc.).
   The fillet-brazing and paintwork is gorgeous as one would expect from Argos, paint condition is 8/10 with some small scratches and very slight surface rust around bare areas (BB face, brake drillings etc.) as expected of a used racing frame.
   The original Argos forks have a 1" threaded steerer and the frame comes with a silky-smooooth Campagnolo Athena headset. The frame takes a 27.2mm seatpin, the bottom bracket is British threaded and all the frame's threads are perfect.

1. Late 70s Romani lugged road frame, clearance for skinny 28c tyres (nutted brake fitting). 24" ST, 22 1/2" TT, unknown tubing but of seemingly high quality. Nicely cut long lugs with long reinforcements to fork crown and cast screw-adjuster dropouts. Fully chromed under paint, chrome is mostly rust-free. Paint and decals are in fairly shabby condition as is typical of Italian frames of this age, though the paint still has its 'metallic' sheen.The frame has an Italian BB shell and comes with alloy 1" threaded headset in good condition.

Nice looking Argos frame. Have you any idea what type of tubing it is? Is the mixed tubing 653? I wondered if the steerer had a stamp of the tubing type.

700c front and rear..........

I haven't had the forks out since I repacked the headset last year, I believe it was fairly common practice at the time (especially at Argos) for the builder to spec tubes from different sets for different areas of the frame (to achieve the dreaded 'lateral stiffness / vertical compliance' in competitive racing frames) hence the absence of a tubeset sticker. If you're interested in the frame I could remove the forks and check for a stamp on the steerer?

Does the Romani frame come with the forks as pictured?
