For Sale: 52cm steel frameset

Here is a nice no name racing frameset. No badge, no stickers, no info on the tubing. Bocama lugs and Shimano dropouts. Must be from early 80s - the BB (BSA) included has code of 1981 production. The headset is 600 EX arabesque.
Seat tube is 52,5 cm (c-t), 50,5 (c-c). Top tube 53,5cm (c-c).
Paintwork with some scratches and spots of rust. See close-up images.
The F&F are straight, no dings, dents etc.
One issue I had no time to deal with - the stem is stuck. Hope its' height and lenght (80mm 3 TTT) would be OK for the buyer.
Looking for GBP 80 + 25 postage payed Paypal gift.

Bit of penetrating fluid and a hefty spanner should sort that out...

thanks, tried that but it needs time.
nice piece of steel, isn't it? would keep it but it's far too small for me.

Bumb for original paintwork

still available.

any chance of budging on the price? also where are you based.....could pick up if near London

WIll give you 60 posted for it?

Just messaged a lady friend after a bike about it...

thank you, Jimmy.

That's a suspiciously similar paint job and frame to my beater! Mine's an old Claud Butler and came with a 'Reynolds 531 Renovated' sticker on it...

thanks, El Greeno. a lovely bike you've got. similar paint work but also quite a lot of differences: the lugs, cable routing etc. and i think mine might be slightly heavier than 531.

anyone?

This looks like an old Gazelle, maybe a late 70s/early 80s frameset?
Did you flog it?

i don't think it is from gazelle. didn't even bother to bother DC.
still available. interested?

is it still available?

yes, still available.

bump,

I'd snap that up, but it's 2 cm too long for me. The little tab hanging off the top tube is for a race number, so it's a quality frame....I'd hold off and try to establish what it is. Sounds like a gazelle. Anyway, good luck with the sale!

sounds like gazelle but looks different in details. and that paintwork scheme... did quite a research and still don't know the origin of the frame.
no doubt it's a good quality early 80s frame. thanks for interest, Wonka.

bump! winter's almost gone.

Sure it's not a Colnago?
