Latest list of frames, books and parts for sale to CR members before they go to Ebay. I can take photos if necessary. To the US frames typically cost about $105 in a double skinned box but can be sent more cheaply about $70 (single skinned box and surface mail if required) All items are priced in $. Shipping will be extra charged at cost. Payment can be made in cash with dollars or by money order in Pounds sterling ($1.60 to 1 GBP). American Express Travellers cheques in $ are also fine. I can take PayPal but I have to charge 5% extra to cover what my bank charges me. Regards Hilary Stone, Bristol, England
HOBBS OF BARBICAN FANCY LUG 20 1/2in (ctt) FRAME, 22 1/4in top tube (ctc). This is a pretty frame built from Nervex Serie Legere lugs which have been hand cut in a distinctive and pretty style. It has very scruffy original paint - but the original Accles and Pollocks Kromo double butted frame transfer is in place and it has the beautiful Hobbs enamelled head badge. The frame number does not conform to Hobbs main post-war sequence but is exactly in the correct position, both myself and Mervyn Cooke, the Veteran-Cycle Club¹s Hobbs marque enthusiast think that it dates probably fromm the mid 1950s. Hobbs closed their works in 1953. It is thought that this is one of the frames built by one of Hobbs former frame builders after the works closure for Hobbs. Complete with Hobbs Lytaloy headset and bottom bracket. I can arrange for this frame to be renamelled in Britain with the correct transfers. $145
HIGGINS ULTRALITE 23 1/2in (ctt) FRAME 22 1/2 in (ctc) fine bronze welded (fillet brazed). Nervex fork crown, Campag ends but no gear hanger. Frame number A28 indicates that it dates from January 1965. Needs repaint; transfers are available. Fred Higgins set up his frame building business in 1935 and was best known for his trikes and trike axles. Unlike many framebuilders he had an engineering background and unusually he built jigs for every part of the frame building operation. This was one of the last frames to be made by Higgins. Lovely brass head badge. I can arrange for frame enamelling at any one of three British frame enamellers for the buyer. REDUCED TO $145
