I have the following framesets for sale. Frames will be packaged very well. Shipping is extra at actual amount via Fed-Ex. Payment by check, MO or paypal. I can take pictures tomorrow for anyone interested in purchasing one of them.

1. NOS Zeus frameset. Purchased from BC (...and the gang) from when he was still in Europe. Full Reynolds 531DB; no chrome, light steel blue color; Zeus drop outs (no eyelets) and fork crown; oddly takes nutted front brake and recessed rear; braze on's for shift levers, unique BB cable guides and rear derailleur cable stop on chainstay; diamond shaped reinforced all bridges and water bottle mounts on DT; long point lugs with pretty cutouts in top of upper head lug, top of lower head lug, top and front underside of seat lug; seat stay caps overlap the stays a tad (like on many Raleigh Team Pros and LeJeune's) and come within two mm of kissing one another; no decals on the frame other than the Reynolds on the seat tube and fork blade tops but NOS original Zeus decals included; rear width is 123mm; seat tube is 57 c-t, top tube is 57c-c, wheelbase is about 100mm when measured to the center of the rear drop out. Mint condition, truly NOS and never built up. $450.-

2. Peugeot PX-10 frameset, used, original (less common) and pretty candy blue paint with black Nerves Pro lugs; chrome socks front and rear along with spears on fork crown with chrome in excellent condition; paint has appropriate scratches where items mount/bolt on and a few tiny nicks here and there but built up will look really excellent; seat tube decals are mint and DT decal is excellent with just a few very faint scratches; only braze on's are the rear derailleur cable guide on the chainstay; includes original and hard to find axle stops, Stronglight headset and complete BB; Reynolds frame decal is on the DT so I estimate her to be 1974/75; no dents or dings; rear width is 120mm; seat tube is 53.5 c-t, top tube is 55.5 c-c, wheelbase is about 98mm. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer original. $285.- (remember that includes headset, BB and wheel stops).

3. Raleigh Professional, really beat but with some good points. Repainted dark blue in very scraped up condition, chrome on front and rear socks and sloping crown is very good; fastback seat stays, serial number is F5354, seat tube is all mangled with some serious sized dents although frame appears straight (this how I got her), beat looking but pretty smooth black EDCO headset; fork is really the best part of the bike but she looks like she could be built into a city commuter bike that you'd never have to worry much about; rear width is 120mm; seat tube is 54 c-t, top tube is 54.5 c-c, wheelbase is about 99mm. $40.- for frame and fork or fork alone to save on shipping.

4. Alan Carbon frame, early one in near mint condition with natural finish carbon tubes screwed and glued into polished aluminum lugs and drop outs; she has her original "Carbon" decals on TT and ST but lacking "Alan" decals (regularly on eBay); one set of bottle mounts on DT. I bought this as a complete bike but the size provided to me was wrong and she is to big. I stripped her of her mint condition Campag SR parts, all date coded 1982 and have mounted them on my similar era Richard Sachs. Anyhow, her seat tube is 59 c-t and top tube is 57 c-c, wheelbase is 97.5mm. Very light and surely one of the very earliest carbon framesets after Exxon. Wish she were my size. $ 375.- or even trade for same condition in 57mm ST.
