All three now paid for and being packaged as we speak to start their new lives.

Thanks for the interest peeps.

Matt

There is a guy in Greece who has shown an interest in the Falcon, so I will have to let him have the first refusal on it, but you are 2nd in line.

I will keep you/the thread updated with any progress.

Going to have a rummage round in the 'cave' again today, to see if there are any more candidates for selling...........

Matt

Grubb now sold pending payment.

More info and shots of the Grubb and Carlton

Grubb TT - CC 54.5cm, there are some serial numbers stamped underneath the BB but cannot make them out unless I scratch off the paint.

Carlton - TT CC=55cm. Serials on BB - 5181, rear dropouts - Cyclo H4044

Matt

I am going to pop to the 'cave' this afternoon, so I will get the measurements of the TT on all frames.

Matt

Yay! After a night sleeping on it, it seems Photobucket and the pooter have made up, so for your viewing pleasure, here are the framesets.

PM's replied too and pictures sent. Sorry about being not being able to upload, but I will have to upload tomorrow whilst at work.

Cheers,

I have a few too many frames, and decided to have a a bit of a clear down.

First up is a 54cm Falcon Shane Sutton special edition. It is a gas pipe edition, with a few rust spots on the red paint, but noting detrimental to it's health. I use this one as my beater / commuter.

Next is a 53cm Freddie Grubb. I bought this one the faith that it was a Grubb frame I have no reason to disbelieve the gentleman, but it has no headbadge or decals to verify it's true identity. It looks like it has been hand painted in blue by a previous owner. It is more than likely 531 tubing, but cannot confirm other than it is much lighter than the Falcon frame.

Lastly is a 53cm Carlton 1960/61 frame with Capella lugs. This seems to have it's original blue paint, it isn't perfect but it is perfectly presentable. There is a slight ding on the top tube just behind the headtube. Again more than likely 531 tubing.

I am after £30 each plus £5 courier charge. All have headset but no BB's..

Photobucket and my Mac are having a tiff at the moment, but as soon as they work it out I will throw in some pics. If you are impatient, like me, drop me your email and I will send you over the images.

Any questions, just holla.

Matt

They are in Manc, give them nudge and ninja it

Ahh evolving nicely there. Good show!

^^ Said much better than I

Pink to make the boys wink!! Still got the bag of sweets in your back pocket?

Nah they are never finished just get dressed in different clothes for a bit. Sugino will look good. Go for a 19t, RVL said you get 19 skid spots with that set-up. SKIDZZZ

Tomorrow is here, so where is the update?

Matt

Just built up a Falcon single fixed speed. It has a flip flop rear so could be single speed converted. The frame is full of 'patina'. I am toying with the idea of stripping it and throwing it to the powder coaters, but am more than happy with the way it looks. It's on flat pedals at the moment not the ones in the photo.

Would be looking at about £150 delivered. Or I can get it powder coated in a colour of your choice for a small increase.

Is that the bloke off 'Ello 'ello?

Like it!!!!

I have a couple of mini moto's which might be able to 'lend' some parts to the cause.

Matt

Got me sword out and hacked at the bars. Found some matching bar ends too, happy days!

Found me chain, but it is 3/32 not 1/8 so will yet again have to wait for a ride, which gives me time to 'find' more parts.

I really want to try a set of old MTB front forks to see how the Aerospoke looks gap wise with a 26" fork. I am thinking that it may make it completable un-rideable as the pedals are getting close to the floor already.

Still I keep floggin it until it beats it's last beat, and then probably still keep trying to breathe life into it :)

Matt

Ooooossshhhh!!!!

Love the look of it in that photo, can't wait to see the updated version.

Matt

Yeah it'll make you well fasterererererererer.

Matt

I thought as much, I had heard of Madchester (still haven't found it yet though)

So what frame you getting fettled then?

Matt

I wondered why I kept getting burgled every time I lost my keys. I just thought I was having a really bad run of luck. First loose my keys, then get burgled and finally forget where my car is parked.

Man it all makes sense now.
