Hi everyone,
Offered to CR members are two nice frames and some more books...
I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal or cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller\u2019s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer. I will always combine shipping in order to reduce costs.
Frames cost 80 GBP to ship to the USA, 100 GBP to ship to Australia/New Zealand and 11 GBP within the UK.
With the pound being still quite low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers.

CONTI c1990 Seat Tube (ctc): 50cm (19.5in) Top Tube (ctc): 52cm (20.5in) Rear dropout width: 126mm Wheel size: 700C Seatpost size: 27.2mm Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 43mm Bottom bracket threads: Italian It is said that Conti frames were built by Ciocc and that it was simply another brand name of theirs \u2026 certainly this frame is exceptionally nice quality and has a Ciocc style cutout in the BB shell. The finish is in very nice condition save for a spot (shown in a close-up photo) which was caused by a wheel in transit. There is is a small dent (but it is very small) and the finish should touch up very well - the recommended technique would be to use nail polish which certainly comes in suitable shades... Very small frames such as this are rather uncommon. 125 GBP

Grandis are very underrated; the standard of workmanship is some of the
best I have seen from any Italian builder. They are an old established
(since 1965) family firm based in Verona. The current range and details
of the company can be found at

MERCIAN SUPERLIGHT 1962 Seat Tube (ctc):57.5cm (22.75in) Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in) Rear dropout width: 120mm Wheel size: 700C Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 DB Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 50mm Bottom bracket threads: English This is a nice early Mercian Superlight frame from 1962 built for sprints/tubs but ideal for use with 700C with a 50mm brake drop. The Superlight was one of Mercian\u2019s top models incorporating their distinctive fastback seat cluster and very abbreviated Nervex lugs. This one has had a period repaint - there are a few traces of light piting showing on the chainstays near the BB shell but seems pretty much perfect elsewhere. The chrome is very good with only one or two traces of corrosion - it is perfectly useable. 295 GBP or close offer
