I have this Raleigh Criterium that is too big for me. Pretty sure it's about a 62cm, but it's in storage and I'm not 100% sure! If anyone is interested I can measure anything on it. Looking to trade the frame and fork for something around 57cm. Can throw in extra cash for something with Reynolds or Columbus tubing. Can't receive PM's on here yet, so email me at jpollock@ shaw.ca.

Ink and silver, that Rossin would look pretty nice in my place........ Interested??

I have this beautiful 1993 Jamis Dakota that I don't want to give up, but it's too big. It's 21.5" frame, 23-inch top tube (c-c) and 21.5" seat tube, c-t. Tange MTB double butted throughout, Tange tapered-gauge fork.

I'm 5'8" and would like something similar in a 16"-18"

Really wanted this to work out but I just couldn't get it right. Up for trade is my late eighties Ciocc with either columbus sl/sp tubing. 52cm seat tube c-c, 53cm top tube c-c. Italian threaded fork and bb. 126mm rear spacing.

I am in search of a Centurion semi-pro, semi-professional, whatever it may be, especially the '79 model with a 54cm c-c TOP tube.

Contact fernandez.12(at)live.com ; don't have the 50 posts for PM's yet.

This is my '83 Trek 600 Suntour BL in excellent condition, 100% original and a 24" frame. It fits me OK but I just got a 25" (63cm) Schwinn frame that it just fits me really well and I want another one. Anyway, I'm looking for a Schwinn Voyageur or Superior with a 25" frame as original as possible and in great shape. If you are interested in a trade, let me know, perhaps we can make it work.

Right now all I have to trade is a 23" '87 Bianchi Sport SX frame with 3 Tubi tange DB and mangalloy stays, rides great though.

I am looking for one of two types of frames and quality of tubing is not as important as the two important features I am looking for. I am looking for a Chromoly frame with either long Campi dropouts or dropouts drilled for a Portacantena chain holder and shifter brazeons. Perfer short reach brakes but that can be worked around.

For trade is my 59.69 approx cm Basso. The bike is in very nice condition, but with a lousy repaint of the top tube. I believe this was done to cover oxidation. Aside from this, the bike is very, very nice. Columbus, 600 components, cinelli bars and stem. Looking for similar Italian in 54-56cm, or Reynolds 531 in also 54-56. Thanks!

Hi I have a 21'' Miyata 610. I believe it is a 1984 or 1985 model.

Here are some photos https://www.flickr.com/photos/5610134...7631695185106/

I am really looking for a 19.5'' or 20'' touring frame.

Have two tall frames up for grabs!

1) 79' Univega Gran Premio, 62cm, Tange Champion tubing, Suntour dropouts, Tange Falcon headset, Sugino bb, classic Univega blue color.

2) 76'? Austro Daimlier AD-SL, 63cm, 3 tube Reynolds 531, Includes bb and headset, Dark blue color (not as clean as the univega) (Ask for pics)

Open to trade them separate or both frames for 1 bike that is 57-60 cm, Columbus or Reynolds is a plus.

I have this Cinelli SC from around 1972. It has many, many scrapes in the paint and some rust inside. The chrome is compromised in a couple of places. No dents or tube damage. Drops are in good shape. Top tube is 56 cm. Looking to trade for a 57/58 Cinelli SC in same condition and vintage.

I hope this works because i don t have much options locally and i want to build up nice vintage bike for my girlfriend. I have this late 1950s Dawes Emblem ladies frameset that i want to trade for frame that will fit her.


Rest of pics in high rez. can be found here -

https://www.flickr.com/photos/8276564...7631635396609/

Seat tube size c-t 54 cm, has reynolds 531 frame tubing (guess main triangle), Accles and Pollock fork, 27" wheels, from what i know i don t think ladies in 1950s could get much better road bike than this. Frame is in pretty good condition, paint is rough, surface rust, no dents.

I am looking for mixte or classic ladies frameset like mine columbus or reynolds tubing same or higher quality (money plus frame), same or better condition (dent free is a must since there isn t a single framebuilder/repair shop in my country) seat tube size c-t 50 or 51cm, 700c wheels, no french thread.

Please bare in mind that i am located in Croatia, Europe and don t have expirience in this type of trades so i will have to learn "how to" along the way.

Any questions PM me

I have a large (63.5 cm) Motobecane Mirage frame from the mid 70's, red, hi-ten, nothing special. Frame is okay, fork is bent. Free to a good home.

As of December 2012 I still have it.

1984-5 Peugeot Super Vitus 980, Campy bits, extremely light. It's a 64cm, which is too big. I need something in a 56cm or even 54, preferably a Trek 520 or something with touring geometry and rack/fender mounts. This bike is still all together, all original, and I can't bear to break it down. However, I'm glad to trade either the whole bike or just the frame if someone has something more my speed. I'm in the Atlanta metro but can ship. The quill seatpost goes with it either way, as those are hard to find. This is a cool bike for some giant sasquatch of a human out there. More pics upon request!

Looking for larger MTB, this just doesn't work without too much seatpost sticking out. I can verify measurements upon request, but I believe it's about a 19" seat tube CTC. Mine is an 87 Schwinn Sierra. It has it's fair share of battle wounds: mismatch touch-up paint, evidence of a kickstand clamped tightly, very small ding on top tube. This was going to be a beater, poor weather commuter build. If your frame is nicer I can include some other items on my end, i.e. original stem, bars, shifters, brake levers. Interested in frame/fork/headset that is about a 56-57 cm seat tube and 57 top tube.
