Proctor Townsend Frames

History
In 1978 Proctor Townsend Frames was formed to meet the needs of the growing population of cyclists. The awareness of the bicycle connoisseur became greater and the desire for the ultimate in touring and racing bicycles (frames) resulted in our desire to give these people only the best.

Description
We manufacture 4 different classes of bicycle frames.

Touring Frames
We’re especially proud of our touring frames and feel that they are the best in Canada and among the best in the world. Our touring frames come in a wide selection of sizes and colours. Our braze-on fittings eliminate the need for unsightly heavy clamp-ons. These braze-ons also make touring racks ultra rigid. For all sizes above 54 cm we recommend Reynolds 531 Club Standard or Columbus SP tubing to give the longest frame life. For sizes below 54 cm we recommend Reynolds 531, light gauge and Columbus SL.

Triathelon Performer
Many people desire a bike that can be used for both touring and racing. This bike is lighter and more responsive than a full touring bike and is not as rigid and demanding as a racing frame. We developed the Triathelon Performer which is much like the racing frames built around 1965. It has many of the braze-ons found on the touring bike but without the extra touring rack braze-ons. This frame comes in a wide choice of colours and has slightly steeper angles than the touring frame. This makes it an excellent choice for sport type riding.

Racing
Proctor road and track frames are among the first choice of Canadian National champion riders. These frames are the ultimate in responsiveness and lightweight quality. They have slightly steeper angles than the performer frames. We use Reynolds 531 light gauge, or SL and Columbus SL; in some special cases Reynolds 753 tubing. These frames come complete with the most up-to-date selection of braze-ons and cut-outs and with a wide selection of colours as well. Proctor Townsend Frames has won 8 National Championships and 16 medals.

Tandems
We have made many custom touring tandems. Because of highly specialized and individual requirements of tandem couples we prefer to deal on an individual basis. Ask your dealer for more information.
