For Sale - early 1980's Graham Tomlinson Touring Frame

I have for sale a pretty rare Graham Tomlinson touring type frame which has had one previous caring owner.

Graham Tomlinson set up his own cycle shop back in the early 80's down in the West Country. His first name branded frames were built by Stan and Phil Pike who taught Graham the art of frame building. This is one of Graham's own builds and has his initials together with the frame number - 27, stamped on the bottom of the BB shell. Also stamped there is the customer's surname who kept it until his passing away recently.

This has all been verified to me by Graham Tomlinson who is a long time member of my cycle club and he recalls the frame would have been built during the early 1980's. I acquired this with the intention of converting it to a road racer but would rather leave it as is and sell on to someone who is more into touring type bikes than I am and use the proceeds for another bike project. The frame - Reynolds 531 tubing is in very good condition for its age and has the odd mark here and there which could easily be touched back in. Having stripped the frame I found I couldn't remove the BB with the tools I have so rather than mutilate it have left as is. The double chain set is a Thorn and the cantilever brakes come attached.

Size wise the seat tube is 22.25 inches c to t and the top tube is 22.75 inches c to c. The rear drop out width is a generous 130 mm. My technology only seems to permit one pic but pm me if you're genuinely interested and I'll send as many as you want. I'm really not keen on packaging this up so collection can be made from RG6 near South Western Trains Station at Earley or happy to deliver to London Waterloo for the price of my train ticket or meet anywhere within reasonable distance. Price is £120

Hello Shaun. I'm trying to find information about a Tomlinson frame. Is he a member of your club still? I can't find much information online about him, but would love to contact him.

He is Jim, text me your contact details to 07584 044161 or send me a pm and I can ask him to get in touch.
All the best
Shaun
