Forgot to say its columus SL tubing

Also has curved lower stays to help crank clearance

proper nice glws.

Gosh, I didn't realised he had died. It's a lovely piece about him in that book. Shame to sell the bike, but sure it'll be well ridden and treasured by whoever buys it.

If I was minted I'd buy this off you to go with my road bike.

GLWS!

This really is a beauty.

Beautiful. More pics? What is the frame number?

You should split this for here. Anyone wanting this collector's item of a frame my not want your parts.

I was thinking ^ that and ^^ that. I think the frame deserves some close-ups of Ron's work.

(I think I should get that book. Thanks for the heads-up!)

Number on bottom bracket is 1136

Will not split as want to sell complete

How much was the original invoice for?

I am trying to see where the £1,800 price comes from.

Maybe a Transport Museum would be interested in it.

The frame looks great and is my size too.

Ron Didn't do anything fancy like that.

As near as I can get

I've been buying Ron's frames since 1973 and he never even got a tape measure out

This is beautiful. So close to my size - inline post and 100mm stem and I would fit it...
But, I have to say I agree with Skully and I would only be interested in the frame set. I would change nearly every component as I think most buyers would. You should consider splitting if you want to sell.

Good luck though.

I want £1,800.00

You may need to reset your expectations a good deal lower than that for this forum...
