Frame clear out

[stevevw]

Time to make some space in the workshop so some of my framesets need to find a new home.
All are 56cm to 58cm to fit me at 5'11"
First up is a Holdsworth built Freddie Grubb 1963 this has not been used since refinishing some years ago. as you will see the lacquer has cracked in places but looks much better in the real world. Will include the headset and brake hanger. £120

Next is a very nice Viscount that I had Mario Vaz refinish for me. These frames are a joy to ride and this one has a steel fork for your safety £140 which only covers the cost of the refinish again will have the headset included.



Next is a fillet brazed Hobbs of Barbican that has also had a refinish by Mario £160 I have a Lytalloy headset that could be sold to the buyer as an extra.

Next a very nice and in original paint Dave Lloyd. £120



Now I have a Carlton that I believe to be a Franco Suise in need of a lot of love. beneath the horrible Hammerite finish is a lovely light blue with dark blue head tube. Headset lugs are chromed £80

@stevevw what size is the Lloyd ? and any idea re tubing on it ?

Rudge Pathfinder III from around 1957 £60

I will check tonight for size and weigh it to get a bit of a clue to tubing, it is very light but I doubt it is 753 and probably predates Dave Lloyd building his frames.

50's Hercules £40

Early /mid 50's BSA Tour of Britain Sport. Nice frame that is crying out for a refinish now Lloyds have the correct transfers to do it justice £55 I also have a BSA chainset with the rare outer ring making it a double and the cyclo suicide shifter. both would be extra.

steve no need as i have just seen all 56 - 58 so size wise would be ok

@biggs682 How about the Freddie Grubb, Martin?

sorry its nice but just doesnt rock my boat unlike the LLoyd and the Rudge do

You certainly look overdue for a clearout @stevevw !

 

[stevevw]

Martin the Lloyd is actually 55.5cm square. Not managed to smuggle the scales out yet but is lighter than my 531c team frameset. I originally bought the frame for the headset which is an Edco competition but could not bring myself to strip it off. I also have enough stash of Dura Ace to build this up so not that bothers if it sells or not. Perhaps I should not of gone and looked at it again

You are correct this lot and the other 20 odd bikes and frames need a hard think if I will get round to building them.
