Latest list of frame, books and parts for sale to CR members before they go to Ebay. I can take photos if necessary. All items are priced in $. Shipping will be extra charged at cost. Frames typically cost about $100 in a double skinned box but can be sent more cheaply about $65 (single skinned box and surface mail if required) Enquire for actual cost if you like before deciding. Payment can be made in cash with dollars or by money order in Pounds sterling ($1.45 to 1 GBP). American Express Travellers cheques in $ are also fine. I can take PayPal but I have to charge 5% extra to cover what my bank charges me. Regards Hilary Stone, Bristol, England

ELLIS BRIGGS SUPERBE 23 1/4in (ctt) frame, 22 1/2in top tube. Quite fancy lugs, lovely head badge, reenamelled in 80s but slightly scruffy now, no transfers.
