Offered for sale are two rather nice frames - the first is a genuine Raleigh SBDU built Reynolds 753 frame in the red and black Team colours. The second is a mid 80s Eddy Merckx Corsa which is in really very rideable condition. The frames are in the UK but I have regularly ship to the USA (and most other places in the world) using Fedex. Shipping costs 75 GBP and I normally ship on Tuesday and the frame arrives on the Wednesday. With the pound low in value (about $1.45 to the GBP) at present these are a real bargain... And shipping works out very reasonably. I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal, cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller’s cheques in $ etc.

RALEIGH 753 TEAM FRAME 22.5in 1989/90
Seat Tube (ctt): 22.5in
Top Tube (ctc): 21.75in
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Frame tubing: Reynolds 753 DB
Frame number: SB9534
This must be one of the very last 753 frames to be built after Raleigh SBDU moved from Ilkeston to Nottingham. The SB number is the second highest I have seen and the frame I think must have been built in 1989/90 just before the formation of Raleigh Special Products. The frame was according to the seller I bought it from refinished about five years ago in the red and black original Team Raleigh colours. This finish is quite sound with only a small number of marks most of which could be touched up - once built-up it would look really rather nice.
245 GBP or very close offer
EDDY MERCKX CORSA ROAD FRAME 59cm 1985
Seat Tube (ctc): 59cm
Top Tube (ctc): 58cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop is 45mm)
Frame tubing: Columbus SL almost certainly
Bottom Bracket Threads: Italian
This is really rather nice example of an Eddy Merckx road frame - it is in very sound condition with just a small dent to the lower end of the down tube - this would be mostly hidden by the chainwheel when the bike was built up. Merckx road frames are noted for their excellent riding qualities.
