Offered to CR members are some interesting frames and good parts.

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.

All prices are in UK GBP 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 low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers. Paypal is quoting 1.55$ to 1 GBP.

PARAGON ROAD FRAME 1950s Seat Tube (ctt): 53cm (21in) Top Tube (ctc): 56.5cm (22.25in) Rear dropout width: 120mm Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C (brake drop 62mm) Seatpost size: 27.2mm Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted Paragon frames were made by Andy Bone in Nottingham from the 1930 just into the 1960s and were very highly thought of in their locality. This frame which I think dates from the late 1950s has been nicely refinished with the correct downtube decals. Its in very good/excellent condition with no dents or pitting visible. It would make a very straightforward conversion. 95 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Paragon-2066.jpg

HIGGINS ROAD FRAME Seat Tube (ctt): 63.5cm (25in) Top Tube (ctc): 60cm (23.5in) Rear dropout width: 118mm Wheel size: 27s or Sprints/700C (brake drop 60mm) Seatpost size: 27.0mm Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted Higgins frames were built in South Norwood; they were best known for their trike and tandem frames but they also built some really nice road frames. They were specialists in fillet brazing frames to give a smooth continuous appearance - just take a look at how good the fillet brazing is on this frame. This frame I think dates from around the late 1950s. 125 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Higgins-25in.jpg
