Heavier mild carbon steel. French, which may lead to bb issues. Basic bike-boom bike.
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=300302803921
Fillet brazed cro.moly. Looks to be a one-piece-crank, I'd stay away.

Awesome bike, Reynolds 531.. I wouldn't even think about converting it though, although it does look pretty beat to hell.
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190296335035
Not bad. Would make a decent conversion.

I'd go with this before converting a bike like the ones above...
https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180341312512
Not bad, I'd keep it intact as-is though.

This is the one I would go with for a grocery hauler. Set up for cantilevers, racks, bottles, etc.

Also, posting your ebay finds on here is a bad idea... lots of people looking for frames.
