Hi Everyone,
I have a number of interesting and unusual frames for sale - I can ship anywhere in the world - shipping a frame to the US for example will cost about 80 GBP.
I can take payment a number of ways - Paypal or cheque in GBP, cash sent registered post, Traveller’s cheques in $, direct bank transfer within the UK or European Iban bank transfer. I will always combine shipping in order to reduce costs.
With the pound being still quite low in value these are a real bargain... for US and European buyers.

COUGAR TT LO-PRO FRAME built for Chris Boardman c1991
Seat Tube (ctt): 40cm
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C rear, 650C (26in) front
Frame tubing: Unknown
This stunning frame finished in a black with a speckle was built by Cougar Cycles for Chris Boardman to attack several short distance time trial records c1991 before he turned professional. The fairings are not structural - they are probably fibre-glass! In one or two places there are cracks between the tubes and the fairings but nothing at all significant. This frame could be ridden with a suitable length seatpost riders of between about 5ft 6in and 6ft tall - the top top tube length is the important dimension... 245 GBP

Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm 54cm (ctc)
Top Tube (ctc): 51cm
Rear dropout width: 130mm
Wheel size: 700C rear, 650C (26in) front

This stunning looking frame was Laurent Roux’s TT frame for his 1995 season at Castorama. This frame is absolutely gorgeous despite a few scratches to the paint and is very, very special. 245 GBP
GAZELLE CHAMPION MONDIAL AA ROAD FRAME c1977

Top Tube (ctc): 54cm
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: 700C
Frame tubing: Reynolds 531 double-butted
Brake drop with 700C/Sprint wheel: 46mm
Gazelle frames are very nicely built and this one is just gorgeous. The paint is in excellent condition. The Champion Mondial AA was one of their top frames and this one has the Gazelle ‘Butterfly’ seatstay bridge which is so distinctive - the horizontal dropouts mean that that it is ideal as a single speed or fixed conversion. 165 GBP

The Carlton Flyer was during the mid 1960s the top road frame available from Carlton/Raleigh. This frame is beautifully built with the fancy curly lugs with windows and Zeus long rear dropouts. The paint is in generally sound condition but needs touching up in a number of places if used as is. 125 GBP

Top Tube (ctc): 22in

This frame has had one owner from new and has been relatively recently repainted and fitted complete with original transfers. The paint is generally excellent with only a few small and not obtrusive marks.

It would convert easily to a singlespeed or fixed with its horizontal dropouts and 120mm rear spacing. 175 GBP
