[CR] UPDATE: Frames for sale: Motta size 59 cm C/C still available, Raulers sold

UPDATE

The 2 Raulers are both spoken for. There are two people who have expressed interest in the Motta but have not yet confirmed their intentions so it is still avilable.

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: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/For_Sale_Steven_Maasland/Motta_frame_lo wer_headlug_marking and successive 7 photos. The lugs are marked with Motta's logo. This is one of the 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: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/For_Sale_Steven_Maasland/Rauler_frame_l 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: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/For_Sale_Steven_Maasland/Rauler_frame_1 982_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.
