Offered to CR members are some interesting frames and a stack of older NOS 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 1.50$ to 1 GBP.

DAVE LLOYD ROAD FRAME c1980 Seat Tube (ctc): 54cm (21.25in) Top Tube (ctc): 52.5cm (20.75in) Rear dropout width: 120mm Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 50mm) Frame tubing: Probably Reynolds 531SL Seatpost size: 27.2mm This is an exceptionally nice early road frame from Dave Lloyd which probably dates from around 1980 and which I think is built from Reynolds 531SL tubing - it is much lighter than most road frames of the period. The chrome on the head lugs and forks is generally very good but that on the rear stays is not quite as good. The paint is very sound. It will make an excellent road bike - and comes complete with a Stronglight roller bearing headset in very good condition. The Omas BB will not be included as standard - but could be left in for an additional 20 GBP. 175 GBP

HOBBS SUPERBE ROAD FRAME 1947 Beautiful hand cut fancy lugs Seat Tube (ctt): 61cm (24in) Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in) Rear dropout width: 110mm Wheel size: 26in, Sprints/700C (brake drop 50mm) Seatpost size: 27.2mm Frame Tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted This Hobbs Superbe road frame from 1947 is in its original but rather tatty paint. Hobbs were one of the pioneers in hand cut fancy lugs from before WWII and the Superbe lug pattern was their development of this. This frame is very sound with one or two small and unimportant dents which would be very easily filled during repainting. it may have originally been built for use with 26 x 1 1/4in wheels but it does mean that it is ideal for use with 700C or sprint wheels nowadays which is much more convenient than most frames of the 40s built for 27s and needing deep drop brakes. 135 GBP

CONI MANUAL 1971 This is the classic 1971 manual with lots of beautiful illustrations of Campagnolo, Simplex Universal, Mafac as well as the being the best training manual around in the 1970s. The advice it offers is still pretty valid even today and the section on bike fitting has been used by many top framebuilders as the basis on which they size their frames to the rider. This manual was published by CONI (the Central Sports School of FIAC, the Italian Cycling Federation. It is rumoured that Cino Cinelli contributed a lot of the text on the equipment and on bike fit \u2013 this would certainly appear to be the case as it conforms closely to what he recommended. This copy is in excellent condition and has been bound into a hardback book - its not ex-library! 49 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Coni.jpg
