If anyone is interested in the following for $175 plus shipping, please contact me. I have jpegs of it that I can send, or take others if there's something you would like to see that does not show up in the jpegs I have.
This is 23 inch, ct, 22.5 cc on the toptube, Colin Cape hand-made bicycle frame from England. It is Reynolds 531 tubing and has chromed Nervex lugs on the headtube with wrap-around seatstays on the seattube lug which also is Nervex. There is gold pinstriping around the lugs. There's approximately six inches of chrome on the forks; the dropouts are chromed Campagnolo with eyelets. The frame and fork were made in the seventies. It comes with a Campagnolo Nouvo Record bottom bracket and Nouvo headset. The condition of the frame is good; some paint scrapes and the paint has faded; the chrome is dull but not rusted. The previous owner cut off the rear brake cable stops on underside of the seattube and ran Campagnolo cable guides. Should the next owner wish to get this frame and fork repainted, I have another complete set of Colin Cape decals. I contacted Colin Cape about this bike, and he wrote back saying that he made frames in Swindon, England, through the seventies. He estimated that perhaps five hundred bikes were imported into the United States, mainly in San Francisco and Texas.
Thank you.
Cheers.
