BERNARD LIDDELL TOURING FRAME 1960s 23.5in Prugnat Mafac cantis
Offered for sale is a lovely 23.5in (ctt) Bernard Liddell touring frame
dating from the 1960s and with a 22.25in (ctc) top tube. It is 120mm
across the rear ends. This frame is in its original black finish with
transfers which has quite a number of small scratches but which touch up
well. It is built from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing with Prugnat
lugs and has Mafac cantilever braze-on brakes. There do not appear to be
any dents and the frame is in very sound condition. Bernard Liddell is
one of the very small framebuildrs in the UK and had his shop at Luton
just north of London. $145 or near offer

22.5in ctc top tube and is 118mm across the rear ends. Ellis Briggs

CONDOR ROAD FRAME 1953 23in Vic Braysher built lovely lugs
Offered for sale is a lovely 23in (ctt) Condor road frame dating from
1953 and with just one previous owner and with a 22.25in (ctc) top tube.
It is 120mm across the rear ends. The frame appears to be sound though
the top tube has been extensively touched up and and has some dents. It
is not well known that Vic Braysher built frames for Condor between 1952
and 1955 - he had a shop near Walthomstow town hall in east London. This
frame has some very attractive hand cut lugs which look as if they they
were based on some Oscar Egg designs. Early Condor frames are really
rather rare. $175 or near offer

ERNIE CLEMENTS ROAD RACE FRAME 23in c1948
Offered for sale is a 23in ctt Ernie Clements road race frame with a
22.25in ctc top tube and dating from c1948. Rear dropout width is 115mm.
Ernie Clewments was a contemporary of Percy Stallard and Ernie was
heavily involved in the early days of the BLRC, the breakaway club for
road racing formed in the 1940s. Like Percy he too had a frame building
business and like Percy too made his own range of fork ends which this
bike has. This frame is in sound condition but the paint has flaked off
in numerous places. A complete Brampton headset will be supplied with
the frame. It would originally have been equipped with Simplex gears. I
can deliver it free of charge to Argos Cycles for repainting - Argos are
in my opinion the best painters in the UK these days. Please see
