For Sale: nice 653 road frame 55x56 for something smaller

Got this rather lovely bike off ebay t'other day, but it was measured wrong and I have to concede it's too big for me, so I'm putting the frame and fork up for trade.

The frame is badged as a pinarello, but it's definitely not; no pantographs, reynolds 653 tubing etc. However, it's very nicely made, with a fancy cinelli bottom bracket, nicely feathered lugs and interesting cable routing. As the wheels, which I think are original, are built by Roy Swinnerton's shop, I think it's most likely a frame built for them; had a brief chat with mark in stratton cycles, he says it's not unlikely. It's a 55/56 st/tt.

Lovely svelte fork crown:

cable routing:

There are a few spots along the top tube where the paint has flaked and it's been really badly touched up, but nothing structural. Will take a picture at some point, not got one to hand. But jesus, it's pink, and will get you secks. What more do you need to know?

I'm after a nice light 80s/90s road frame, ideally 53 square or 53/54 st/tt.

!Now for sale for money!

does £150 with a chorus headset sound fair?

I'm in west onlyjustlondon, around Yeading, but I'm further central quite a bit.

Cheers.

Would you consider selling the frame instead of trading.

At some point, but I would rather hang on a for a clean swap. I'l stick a price on the thread in a few days if nothing turns up.

Mmm, bump for a lovely looking bike!

Thankyou sir. The frame is now for sale
