There is..with a bit of digging a review of the tubing in the form of a two Machine test from an American Magazine..I am certain they built two identical frames..one from 731..and the other may have been Columbus El o/s or was it a later Columbus tubeset?

I researched it when I picked up a 731 o/s race bike I have here.(along with a EL o/s bike too).

Stallion..

Well done..I saw that machine....731 o/s is a superb tube-set..over-size and light...and lloyd's are damned fine frame..i have a 753 o/s....

Can't go wrong at that kinda dough...

753 frame and fork £145 BIN

He did well on that machine..it was on the Bay two weeks ago..with a BIN of £200.00..I kept looking at it and thinking..damn that's cheap..but do I need another machine that i can't ride (due to it's small size).

It came with a spare set of wheels..he got £98.00 for just those!..plus he has all the oother parts off it..Titanium BB etc...it's other nice wheels.

Blimey..Bungay is down the road from me...thought it was for the whole bike for a second!!!

Would have thrown the frame (Hate Aluminium) and kept the bit's.:-)

Hi there,

Just picked this up, does anyone have any info on Omega frames?

Cheers

Dpres,

I believe I can shed some light on this for you.

Omega was, I believe..Steve Ellesworth from Wetherby, a very good builder indeed..have a read here...www.mkm-cycles.co.uk/

Go to the History page and scroll down.

He built the Amazing MKM Ultimate frames(amongst many other's) Norris Lockley..a reknowned Norther Builder (also from Wetherby area) rated Steve as the best fillet Welder in the country..bar none!

If you are interested in seeing another pic of a MKM Ultimate(other than MKM home page)..have a look at my flickr under jamesaudiovideo you can't miss it..it's bright Orange.

Bobb,

I'm interested but can you guide me on the sizing? i.e. have you worked out for eg if 8 = ?? cm and 9 =??cm if I measure..as I have been lead to believe..around the circumferance of my head..above my ears..I get 55-56ish...how does this size up with what you have there?

James

Quick everyone...an absolute steal...NOT...180564341103 sorry for being no good at links..what planet are some of these people on??

Lightweight...are you selling it then?

J

You would think they could have been bothered to number them individually...rather than '1 of 199'...

That's a lot of money for a bike no one would ever dare ride..one has to wonder if Art...etc would be a wiser investment for a big pile of money...

Dibs No 6, SR Royal @ £29

J

hugo7..Did you get it then? it's just that the Auction's finished..never seen Peugeot lugs look like that at the front of the headtube...would be a real nice frame re-finished...

J

Hugo 7..i have never seen peugeot lugs like that...no expert on them I have to say...but the lugs look like a Rotrax design from the front..french lugs...other than being Nervex pro were never very fancy.

J

jambon...my sentiments too...I bet he's turning cartwheels and clapping his hands..I would never have anticipated this sitting at £550 with time still to run..

J

Bps...Rik and Coventry..

I asked him about the Holdsworth earlier today...he said it went for £350.00

J

Check this beauty out on ebay... item no 260654978474....:-)

J

Wow! that Cinelli is gorgeous...

J

I have this wheel building book...very good book indeed...from an Amazing wheelbuilder...he was sought out by the top riders in Road/Track/Cyclocross and Mountain biking.

J

2nd dibs on Mavic rear mech if coloredsound changes his mind...

J

Dibs 3TTT bar and stem combo at £20

J

Darn it...I thought the advert was for the Woman in the Black skirt...not some old Bike without the Pedals.....

J

Wow the Bates is simply stunning....if only it wasn't for midgets......

J

Now I could do with the parts more than the frame...I have a 24" Dave Lloyd frame...exact same design as this but in 753 o/s....

J

Caped Crusader....I spotted this the other day....absolute insanity eh?

Then you sit there and think to yourself...oh my god..some nutter...somewhere ...will probably buy em'.....

J

Wow...now this I like!.....dare not look anymore...24" is my size....must resist....must resist....

J

Yes that Hill Special is a beaut...but wayyy overpriced.....
