If it's the one I'm thinking of, it only came in Carlton colors: white on blue or blue on white. Very nice. Jon, I might be interested, too. Post some pics.

Still trying to get rid of this frame... 61 cm Bob Jackson. Wasn't there a For-Sale section in CV? I have been gone for a while... Anyway, pics of the frame are on this thread:

https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...=#post12409727

I was asking $175 OBO. $150? Something. Trade for a similar 56cm frame. Anybody? Make me a reasonable offer. Frame is located in Northern VA, outside DC

I have what I believe is a 92 Club Fuji, dressed in purple with green. Measurements are, seat tube 62 ctc, top tube 61 ctc. A few small scratches, no dents. Tubing sticker is cro-mo Tange double butted tubing (I'm guessing this is Tange 2?). Will trade for just about anything in the 56 to 58 range. I know how difficult it can be moving these large frames so I can't be picky. The kitty is negotiable.

Sorry, I have a bunch of photos, but the files are so big the BF site won't let me attach them, and I'm too ignorant to make them smaller. I'll attach a few to an email and send them to you that way.

When working on Microsoft Windows, I find irfanview to be even easier than MS Paint. It's a free download. Try it. I'm a computer wiz but a graphical idiot, so irfanview is great.

Thanks, noglider. Are you sure you're a C&V person? You're suspiciously adept at these newfangled computer things.

I should mention that a sale is pending. It is kind of a nice-looking bike, though, isn't it? Especially if you don't look at the anachronistic crankset.

Jon, if you are using Windows, please do yourself a favor and download irfanview and try it. If you can't figure it out, I'll connect to your computer remotely and help you.

For a couple of years now, the Preview app that comes on MacOS now lets you do simple things like rescaling images.

Unless they're GIANT files, you should be able to upload them to https://imgur.com and then choose the image size from that site.

I have a Miyata Sport twelve 54cm frameset that's a little to small for me, would like to trade it for something 56/57cm that has room for 27x1 3/8th knobby or 700x35 knobby tires. Was going to build up a winter bike with it to keep my '73 world voyageur out of the salt.

Serial number is OE68549

58cm Civia Bryant frame. 4130 cro-moly, disk tabs, 1 1/8 steerer tube, braze-ons for fenders/racks, vertical dropouts but rear stays split for belt drive. Looking for... hell I dunno. An older campy 9 speed ergo group would be lovely... but a ~56 cm bianchi celeste frame would be great too. And, you know, pretty much anything else, so let me know.

Edit: A fixie frame would be great too, preferably bianchi but anything older with 126 or 120 mm

As much as I love the way this frame rides, it's just a hair too small for me at 6'3" haha. It's not in perfect shape and has definitely been well ridden so it has its fair share of scrapes but no dings or dents! Looking for a similar 58/59x58cm frame.

I can take better pictures for anyone interested, but this is what I have right now.

Have a Tommaso that I picked up this morning. I thought it would fit but it's just a bit too big for me at about 55cm (i'll take better measurements later). Looking to trade for a 50-52cm frame or some parts (superbe/dura ace/non-vintage?).

Its a 1985 TLX-9000 Super Record according to this: https://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalog...28tsd%29/3.jpg
Columbus SLX, with scratches and looks like theres some rust, but it seems to be all chrome underneath. Just the frame/fork
