For sale: A gorgious completely re-enameled flawless 1969/70 Hetchins Magnum Bonum frame and fork, straight stayed. I purchased this frame at Cirque last year and at 22&1/2" CC it's gorgious but a bit large for me, but great eye candy. Frame size is 22&1/2" CC as mentioned with a 21&1/2" top tube CC, with 27.2mm seat post size and 126mm rear spacing, plus Campag dropouts. Colour is metallic Rose Grey with gold lug lining, red Fairgrounds DT transfer and Coronation seat tube transfer. Features wrap around seat stays, and unusual double rear upper seat stays with pencil thin seat stays inserted into larger stay. This frame was most likely a custom frame due to the nature of the unusual seat stay. I believe this was restored by Dale Brown, as it was part of his collection. Serial number is H8116.
Jpgs of the frame are at the URL below on the CR site. More jpgs are abailable. http://www.classicrendezvous.com/
It was sold to me as a 1972, but I believe it to be a few years earlier, so I've written Len Ingram, holder of the Hetchins records to verify production date.
