Offered to CR members are some beautiful and interesting frames - the 1970s Merckx is really rather nice and other two are interesting too - an unknown maker fancy lug from c1939 and an Alec Bird TT frame from about 1985.
There\u2019s quite a number of special parts too. But I am surprised at the lack of response to yesterday\u2019s small parts which contained some unusual items such as the Campy steel seatpost, SR rear gear 1st pattern etc
I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal or cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller\u2019s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer. I will always combine shipping in order to reduce costs.
All prices are in UK GBP Frames cost 80 GBP to ship to the USA, 100 GBP to ship to Australia/New Zealand and 11 GBP within the UK.
With the pound being still quite low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers. Paypal is quoting 1.65$ 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 Mercks 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. 245 GBP

Complete with headset and BB. 95 GBP
