Offered to CR members are some interesting frames and good parts as well as a copy of the rather rare Russell Mockridge autobiography.

The 1974 Colnago Super frame and the 1937 Hetchins track frames are both still available from Sunday\u2019s listings and I am open to offers.

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.

CLAUD BUTLER AVANT COUREUR ROAD FRAME c1953 Seat Tube (ctt): 57cm (22.5in) Top Tube (ctc): 58cm (23in) Rear dropout width: 116mm Wheel size: 27in or 700C (brake drop 62mm) Claud Butler\u2019s Avant Coureur model was their top road frame in 1953. This came to me just as a frame but I have managed to find a pair of forks with exactly the correct fork crown. The Avant Coureur featured bilaminated lugs. The Bilaminated form of construction was first introduced by Claud Butler in 1948 on the first version of the Avant Coureur model. Although bilaminated frames look as if they are built with lugs they are in fact fillet brazed. The \u2018lug parts\u2019 are sleeves which feature cut outs just like the ends of lugs. These are first brazed onto the end of each tube to be joined. The tubes complete with sleeves are then fillet brazed together. Claud Butler claimed that in tests at the National Physical Laboratory this type of joint proved to be 25% stronger than a conventional lugged joint. It certainly had other advantages too \u2013 non standard tube sizes could be built into frames easily and frame angles were not limited by the lug angles available. This frame needs restoring; the top tube has a dent that needs filling and the down tube has had a gear lever boss removed rather badly that also needs filling. But once restored this frame will be really stunning. 85 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Claud-Butler-Avant-Coureur.jpg

WOODRUP ROAD FRAME early 1970s all chrome Seat Tube (ctt) : 57cm (22.5in) Top Tube (ctc): 57cm (22.5in) Rear dropout width: 122mm Wheel size: Sprints or 700C (brake drop of approx 55mm) Bottom bracket threads: Britiah Seatpost size: 27.2mm Woodrup road frames are really rather nice quality. This fully chromed frame is really rather rare - the chrome is in generally excellent condition and the frame has just one small dent visible in the photos on the down tube behind the head lug from a brake having come round and hit it. All chrome frames are very expensive because all the tubes have to have extensive polishing before the plating. This is really a very spectacular looking frame. 245 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Woodrup-chrome.jpg

ALLIN ROAD FRAME c1963 Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm (23in) Top Tube (ctc): 57.5cm (22.75in) Rear dropout width: 120mm Wheel size:27in or 700C (brake drop 60mm) Seatpost size: 27.2mm Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double butted Allin Cycles were based in Whitehorse road, Croydon for many years, This is a Stan Butler model from around 1963. It is very nicely built but does need repainting. 59 GBP http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/hilarystone/Allin.jpg
