Below is a list of items which I've put up on Ebay. For a change this week there's more classic British frames - a rather lovely Ephgrave No 1 and a curly Hetchins Experto Crede. Both are really nice examples - Ephgrave lgwork in particular varies quite a lot in design even amongst the same model and this one is a good 'un. There's also a very interesting Colnago frame which would appear to be from around 1976 - the dropouts are not Campag but are stamped KMF or perhaps KMP and are almost halfway between a vertical and a short horizontal dropout - they do not look as if they are home made - it also has a braze-on for a front derailleur to which an early 1970s Campag Record front gear had been modified to fit. The chainset I have also listed and is dated 1973 and has a panto'd outer ring of the style from I think around 1976/7. Other frames include a 1984 Raleigh Team Replica in the original red and black colours - interestingly Raleigh continued to offer these colours as an option until 1987, four years after the teram had finished... And lovely little 19.5in Condor Italia road frame. There are some other splendid parts and accessories too - the early white Turbo saddle (dated 1985) is really nice and unusual. There's a good choice of 1930s British handlebars, a very nice Stronglight 63 chainset, pairs of Brampton B8 and Webb pedals, a great pair of 36H Airlite large flange double fixed hubs with blue anodized flanges, a 3TTT seatpost which I think is one of the nicest alternatives to Campag from the 1970s, a NOS Brooks B17, Huret Jubilee rear gear and a pair of Ame Modolo type hoods in Bianchi blue. Amongst the books is a fascinating and rare history of Shake Earnshaw, a top British time triallist from just before WWII who is little known - this book was only published about ten years ago but the print run was very small and it rarely shows up. There's also a Sturmey master catalogue and manual which gives you the complete lowdown on post-war Sturmey gears - anybody can with manual then service a Sturmey gear! And finally there's a NOS bottom bracket clearing tap for British threads, a very useful tool to have...
