In my eyes, that bike's a beauty. Full of character !

Thank god I live in Shropshire and not London . . . or I'd be hopping on a tube to get it.

I ran into this thread by accident, looking for an older thread on Whitcomb Bikes.

Just wanted to post to say how much I like this frame. It's way too small for me unforunately, otherwise I'd bite your arm off for it. Beautiful.

Probably sold ages ago . . . . . . . beautiful frame, though !

Oh... and another thing, **there is no such thing as 753R - the R means it has been resprayed **and that the Reynolds identification decals are not the ones that originally shipped with the tubeset.

Incorrect !

753R was 753** R**ace tubing

I've a Raleigh SBDU frame in 753R tubing.

The most expensive bike that I've ever seen !

A frame that size . . . . . . . it's for a tall fella - over 6ft 3inches I'd imagine.

This may be rare, but why is it worth so much ?

What's the distance between the rear dropouts - I'm wondering what gears it can take ?

This looks a decent buy (badly listed )- Barron 531C - but no mention in the title.

Hi All,

I'm looking for a Garmin Forerunner 305 preferably with heart monitor - must be in excellent working order.

Thank You !

This seems good value; is there a catch ?

I like the Aende frame a lot.

Presumably, it takes 700c wheels ?

Would you post any of your frames ?

Want a tandem ?

Looking for something different ?

I've never seen anything like this before !

I guess that it'd cost quite a bit to get it straight, but the finished article would be highly unusual.

I've never heard of the engine maker; seller reckons that it is 60 + years old, but I reckon its more like 80 + years.

Thanks BONK, the number is SB6089

FYI, this frame dates from 1983.

You can get a Carlton Pro Am bike for about £100 - £130.

I sold a good Pro Am frame and forks + gears, bars for £40 just three weeks ago on Ebay.

In my opinion, £280 is way too much !

Dibs - 16 - Suntour front mech (bottom pull) (very good condition) - £10

I'm not sure if this is a good buy or not, 'cos I don't know the tubing, but it looks in very good & clean condition.

I love the Carlton Constellation.

Hope someone buys it soon !

Payday's coming up, don't want to jeopardise my relationship with the Missus - she would KILL Me

This could be bargain of the week . . . . . . .

Think you've seen it all ?

This, is surely the ultimate bike !

Hi All,

For my elderly 753 SBDU frame, I've a choice of four pairs of wheels; nothing, I'm sorry to say, as good as what most of you guys will have fitted.

I'm finding very difficult to decide which wheels to choose, so I'd appreciate comments as to suitability; I've a pair of Mavic Open 4CDs - black rims in very good condition, I've a pair of Wolber Profil A - black rims in very good condition, a pair of silver Mavic Open Sport (new) and a pair of silver Mavic Open Pros - which are brand new. I'm discounting the Mavic Open Sports, since I assume the Open Pros are better. In fact, I'm leaning towards the Open Pros - but the Wolbers seem very light.

Cheers for any advice; the trouble with hoarding so much stuff, is that it makes it difficult (for me, at any rate) to make a decision on what to fit.

Apologies for all the single item sales...

• As the title says, the cantilevers are weinmann with weinmann/ campagnolo blocks.
  
• almost an exact copy of the famous mafac ones
  
• complete with springs and straddle wire, I've lost one of the cable hangers since I took the pics (doh!) - easy to find though.

nice old mafac levers - drillium!

An eye-catching and unusual frame !!!

But not cheap !
