Hi everyone,

Offered to CR members are four very nice frames and some rare parts and some some not so rare 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.

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.

Hilary Stone, Bristol, British Isles

MAL REES c1952 Seat Tube (ctt): 55.5cm (21.75in) Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in) Rear dropout width: 110mm Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 DB Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 55mm This is a beautifully built early Mal Rees frame with the earlier type Nervex Pro lugs all finished off to a very high standard. It is an older repaint and there are some signs of light pitting especially around the tops of the seat stays but no serious rust. A lovely frame which begs to be used as it is. 125 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Mal-Rees.jpg

FLYING SCOT 1953 Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm (22.5in) Top Tube (ctc): 57.5cm (22.75in) Rear dropout width: 118mm Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 DB Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 60mm Frame number: 112C This Flying Scot which is in its original paint does need repainting but enough of the original paint is there that an authentic restoration can be made. This frame has the rare aluminium head badge and apart from the paint in very poor condition is very sound with no dents or dings. 95 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Flying-Scot.jpg

BIRDS CYCLE CENTRE SPECIAL ROAD FRAME c1975 Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in) Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in) Rear dropout width: 124mm Wheel size: 700C Frame tubing: Columbus SL Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 43mm This is really a rather special frame - Alec Bird built most of the frames for his brother\u2019s (Ken Bird) shops - this one has obviously been built for road racing and shows many influences from Italian frames of the period - the Campy dropouts have their trailing edge squared off, the centre bolts for the Campy brakes are built into the frame, the simple but exquisitely filed lugs with a single hole and the drilled bottom bracket shell. 195 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Bird-Special.jpg

RALEIGH ILKESTON TIME TRIAL SPECIAL FRAME 1978 Seat Tube (ctt): 56cm (22in) Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in) Rear dropout width: 126mm Brake drop with 700C wheels: 50/44mm Tubing: Reynolds 753 metric Frame number SB1942 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 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. 225 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Raleigh-TT-SB1912.jpg
