Thread closed...no real interest here bar one time waster...so now on Retrobike sadly.

Sadly too big for me!

GLWS.

Photos of the 'other side' of the frame.

What is the TT (C2C)?

Looks like rim brakes!

Lovely…too big for me.

Record or Super Record frameset?

Might be an idea to take more photos of all the parts of the bike…and share them plus measure the top tube.

Try to work out the spec…Record or Nuovo Record or Gran Sport etc? A bit of detail about the wheels? How many speed? Postage or collection?

GLWS

Plenty of love but no actual interest in purchasing the frame...so I will give it 24h and then try elsewhere. 😕

If I can get a frame box from Halfords…I would have to cut it down…I could as +midlife suggested post the frame.

Paisley Freight charge £40.

Mine is 126mm and could be cold set to 130mm…needs a respray and possibly a brazed on RH gear boss to keep it single chainring but a LH gear boss and front mech brazed on cable guides…to enable the use of a double chainset.

Fair point! But I haven’t got a box! 😿

Thanks but you kind of said it ‘of its time’ but maybe not of this time. Which would be a shame as it lovely and I would keep it but it is too big for me. 😿

MGOOF?

Thanks for your comments…much appreciated…hoping I don’t have to move it elsewhere!

£65>£60 otherwise as above.

Any sensible offer will secure this frameset.

Thanks....I love the seat cluster.

No need to have torn my arm off...a simple pm would be enough...😄

This has a bit of a story…I bought this as a project but doubt I will have the time...and it is too big for me.

The seller had it built through Graham Buck Cycles in Ipswich…GB didn’t build frames but got others to build his frames including Bill Hurlow…However GB told the chap I bought it from that it was built in Romford in Essex (ruling out BH whose workshop was in Kent)…The seat cluster indicates it was made by a top frame builder and the only one who fits the bill is…Vic Edwards…they don’t come much better.

I have some genuine Graham Buck decals...H Lloyd doesn't have them

Also note the heart cut outs on the lugs.

It is built from 531SL with vertical dropouts and an internal brake cabling….runs with a single chainring (look up Alf Enger on Google).

Frame measurements:

ST (C2T): 57cm
ST (C2C): 55.5cm
TT (C2C): 55cm.
126mm rear spacing…so can do 6-7 speed

No dings or dents include Shimano 600 headset.

Needs a respray and possible a brazed on DT shifter boss…but a single band on DT shifter is an alternative..a pip under the down tube will prevent slipping.

£90 ono either collection from Biggleswade in Bedfordshire or delivered to Kings Cross Station.

I can post but only if someone has a suitable wheel box as I don't.

The answer is no...I think I bought vinyl...vinyl is analogue and I don't have the technology to convert it to MP3 for inclusion on the iPod. Now I don't even have a turntable.

Sold subject to payment. 😄

Depends on what your father likes? 😄

My tastes are eclectic and my Roon collection goes even further....all this plus more....Hildegard of Bingen to Springsteen! 12th century to 21st century...but no rap! No Garage! etc.

I am coming to London Kings Cross on Saturday 2 March in the morning…then heading east towards Whitechapel, Victoria Park and then heading towards Limehouse and the Prospect of Whitby in Wapping before heading home…via KX.

Any good?….if so, I will bring the wheels with me.

Hubs are Ultegra 6400 and not 6500...my mistake.

The tubs are Conti Grand Prix.
