Frames for sale: 2 Raulers and one Motta sizes 49 cm, 52 cm and 59 cm C/C
I have three frames that are available for sale:
1.. Lugged steel Gianni Motta frame. I believe it can be categorized
as a KOF frame. This frame is NOS and has never been built up or
painted!! The fork and rear triangle have been chromed and the rest of
the frame primered but it has never been painted. You can therefore let
your fantasy go wild and paint it as you wish. You can see photos of the
frame here:

wer_headlug_marking and successive 7 photos. The lugs are marked with
Motta's logo. This is one of teh Motta frames with the distinctive curvy
seatstays and plug in lugs. The frame is a 59 cm C/C seattube by 58 cm
C/C top tube with 128 rear spacing (made to work with either 126 or 130
spacing) The frame has internal top tube brake cable routing.
2.. Rauler from the late 70's or perhaps early 80's. This frame has
been used and the paint is not perfect. It would however make for a
great commuting bike as is, if you are not searching for perfection. You
can see photos of this frame here:

ate_70_s_side_view and successive 6 photos. It is made out of what I
take to be Columbus SL tubing. The frame measures 52 cm C/C seattube by
54 cm C/C top tube with 126 spacing. The frame has the typical Rauler
traits such as the Rauler spade BB cut-out, the Rauler fork crown
pantographing and numerous lug cut-outs. Rauler seat stay cap. braze-on
cable guides, shift lever bosses, top of the BB gear cable routing.
There is a dent in the right chainstay likely caused by chain suck with
a chain getting jammed between the stay and the chainring. The dent does
not however detract from the functionality of the frame. As a bonus, I
will include a Rauler pantographed 27.2 mm 3TTT seatpost and newer
saddle. I have also not removed the fixed cup.
3.. Rauler from about 1982. This frame has been used and the paint is
not perfect. It would however make for a great commuting bike as is, if
you are not searching for perfection. You can see photos of this frame
here:

982_side_view?full=1 and successive photos. It is made out of what I
take to be Columbus SL tubing. The frame measures 49 cm C/C seattube by
52 1/2 cm C/C top tube with 126 spacing. The frame has the typical
Rauler traits such as the Rauler spade BB cut-out (in this case with
extra lightening!) the Rauler fork crown pantographing and numerous lug
cut-outs. Rauler seat stay cap. braze-on cable guides, shift lever
bosses, top of the BB gear cable routing, braze-on front derailleur
mount.
Frames 1 and 3 are offered at $100 each, whereas I am asking for $120
for frame 2 with saddle and seatpost. All of these prices are net of
delivery. The frames can be picked up by the buyer either at my home on
occasion of my vintage bike ride next weekend, or at the T-Town swap the
weekend thereafter free of delivery charge. For other destinations, I
will charge whatever Fedex charges me.
Please do check out the photos. If you have any questions send me an
email or give me a call.
