i would love a corima.... it looked the tits when you had one on there.... but i wont have a tub, and i can't find a corima clincher for less than £400.... which i aint prepared to pay for a wheel to go on my beater!
they do have a corima tub in 14 though..... they do cycle2work there you say..... maybe i could be persuaded.....
So i walked into a clients architectural practice and what do i see on entering the building but the rust bucket parked up in the bike storage.....London is a small place sometimes.. I stopped and checked it out...tasty.

Sorry my bad, in the space between the garage and my laptop the cold mixed them up in my head!!
So to confirm
Inside edge of Seat tube - Inside of Head tube = 53 cm.
Centre of Seat tube - Centre of Head tube = 56 cm
Outside edge of Seat tube - Outside of Head tube = 59 cmSorry for the confusion and thanks pilky for noticing!!

Yeah i did some research before hand and it is a 1970's Falcon Merckx....but its still a little cracker!!
Wasn't sure where to measure the TT to and from so i took three measurements;
Centre of Seat tube - Centre of Head tube = 53 cm
Outside edge of Seat tube - Outside of Head tube = 59 cm
Inside edge of Seat tube - Inside of Head tube = 56 cm.Hope this helps!!
I'm afraid the Fuji Royale is not for sale as it is currently at mercian having a respray and hence why i cant really afford the second project!!! But hey it will be worth!! Only another 3 weeks to wait!!
Ackit and Jonlubi if you are still interest after the TT measurement send me your offers via email.
Cheers

I'm selling a 59 cm Eddy Merchx frame and forks. I bought it to take it on as a second project but don't feel i can do it justice with my current situation.
I'm going to take offers via email to hsmyles@gmail.com and it will go to the highest offer.

Just about to pack up my 1970's fuji and send it off for a respray at Mercian. I just hope the six weeks it takes goes quickly!! I removed all the brazings and old paint, i know mercian shot blast it on arrival but i just couldn't resist i have left enough patches of rust on there to insure it gets done!!

Alright chaps,
Bike history - starting with ramps made of bricks with wood on top (nostalgic), moving onto working in a bike shop (Bill Cuss cycles, Kent) learning the trade and then to smashing my body up on Dual slalom courses (PORC in Kent). Kindly donated race frame and old 105 kit which i built up to create what i named the "Jordie racer", sort of thing you might find someone from biker grover riding around on.
Then moved on to smashing up my liver at uni and now back in london working in clerkenwell and waiting for the delivery of a little vintage Fuji road bike (eBay) which is gagging for a makeover!You guys have proved a very useful source of info. Thanks and i hope it continues!!!
