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.

MERCKX ROAD FRAME 1970s Seat Tube (ctc): 55cm Top Tube (ctc): 55cm Rear dropout width: 122mm Wheel size: 700C Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 50mm Seatpost size: 27.0mm Merckx road frames from the early 1970s are very rare in the UK. Merckx licensed the use of his name to different builders in countries across Europe - in England inexplicably it was Falcon but in Belgium it was Kessels and I think Schauff in Germany... This frame sourced from Germany I think was probably built by Kessels taking into account the different possibilities. Its obviously a quality frame with drilled lugs and heavily slotted BB shell. Schauff built frames are really very crude by comparison. The frame weight is about 2kg and it takes a 27.0mm seatpost so is built from good quality tubing. The long Campy dropouts suggest it is from the first half of the 1970s. 225 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Merckx.jpg
