Hi everyone,
Offered to CR members are some interesting frames and some more parts from several different eras...
I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal or cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller\u2019s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer. I will always combine shipping in order to reduce costs.
Frames cost 80 GBP to ship to the USA, 100 GBP to ship to Australia/New Zealand and 11 GBP within the UK.
With the pound being still quite low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers. Paypal is quoting 1.6$ to 1 GBP.

HANNINGTON CHILD\u2019S TRAILERCYCLE
This is a truly lovely child\u2019s trailercycle built probably in the 1960s
- it is far superior to the cheap modern ones which attach to the
seatpost. The lower fitting with the hitch vertically over the rear
wheel on a purpose built rack means that the towing bike does not get
tugged in anything like the same manner as the cheap child
trailercucles. Isla Rowntree and Burley copied this design when they
built child trailercycles in the 1990s because it was simply the best
design...The seat tube is 14in long on the trailercycle - this is short
enough for most 6-7 year olds with the short cranks - the cranks can be
changed as the child gets older and its suitable up to about 9 to 10
years old. 85 GBP
Shipping within the UK will be 11 GBP and to the USA 90 GBP

ELLIS CHAMPION c1934
Seat Tube (ctt): 21in
Top Tube (ctc): 21.5in
Rear dropout width: 110mm
Wheel size: 26 x 1 1/4in
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Bottom bracket threads: English
Ellis Champion was a very established lightweight builder (claimed in
their catalues to be established in 1897) that finally closed its doors
in the early 1960s always in Fulham, south-west London. Over the last 25
years I have had about half a dozen Ellis Champions through my hands -
all have impressed with the standard of workmanship and attention to
detail. This frame is quite sound though at present looks awful. The
attention to detail can however be seen - the slightly curved seatstay
bridge, the neat fork crown cutouts and the carefully cut lugs. Most
older Ellis frames have round bladed forks as here. This frame does
obviously need repainting. It has never been drilled for brakes so
presumably was fitted with Resilion cantilevers originally.

JACK HATELEY 1954
Seat Tube (ctt): 24in
Top Tube (ctc): 22.5in
Rear dropout width: 115mm
Wheel size: probably sprints will also just accomodate 27s, brake drop
with sprints/700C is 55mm
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
Bottom bracket threads: English
Jack Hately\u2019s shop was in Wolverhampton and he was an early supporter of
the BLRC (British League of Racing Cyclists). This is a very nice
example of his work - his frames tended to be a little more flamboyant
than Stallards - this one is in very sound condition and features Cyclo
Benelux rear dropouts and a single down tube lever boss. A rod operated
front derailleur was probably used in conjunction with a Cyclo Benelux
rear gear. This will make a great project.

SAXON TWIN-TUBE TANDEM c1938
Saxon are best known for their twin seat tube solo bicycles but the
design was first used in 1937 to make a short wheelbase tandem frame.
The TT tandem frames were produced in relatively small quantities up
until WWII. This frame has at some time been \u2018modernised\u2019 with a down
tube gear lever boss and Mafac cantilever brakes. It also sports
transfers from apparently touring in the Alps... I think it has 21in
seat tubes front and rear but will take proper measurements for anybody
seriously interested. It will make a superb project which will be very
unusual. Shipping to the USA will be 100 GBP.

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/excellent with only one or
two traces of corrosion - it is perfectly useable. reduced to 245 GBP

RALEIGH ILKESTON TIME TRIAL SPECIAL FRAME 1978
Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Brake drop with 700C wheels: 50/44mm
Tubing: Reynolds 753 metric
Frame number SB1912
Seatpost size: 27.0mm
This was made at the Raleigh Ilkeston plant under the direct supervision
of Gerald O\u2019Donovan. Mike Mullett was the foreman in the framebuilding
shop when this was built. There are some gorgeous touches such as the
slotted bottom bracket and oversize seatstay cap. It is designed for use
use with hex nut fitting brakes. The frame appears to be very sound with
no dents. It is one of the comparitively rare Time Trial Special frames
with drilled and reinforced vertical dropouts -and is built from the
lighest version of 753 - the bare frame weighs just 1550g! It has had
bottle cage bosses added.
In autumn 1974 Raleigh established a specialist workshop (SBDU) capable
of frame building to the very highest standards at Ilkeston in
Derbyshire. Frames were built for the Ti-Raleigh continental pro team
from the very beginning. They produced the only British frame to ever
win the Tour de France (Joop Zoetemelk, 1980). The unit worked with
Reynolds in developing Reynolds 753 and the first frames were tested by
the Ti-Raleigh team in 1974. Genuine Ilkeston frames can be identified
by frame numbers with 1 to approx 9500, prefixed SB. For a company as
large as Raleigh, the SBDU was quite an unusual operation. Its
production capacity was modest \u2013 at a maximum only about 1000 frames or
so a year from about four framebuilders. SBDU frames were mostly built
in stock designs except for the actual team frames. Its a real bargain
at 195 GBP
