A London institution, Condor Cycles have had premises on Gray's Inn Road for nearly 75 years, having produced hand made bikes for pop stars, olympians and world champions alike. Originally a Triumph dealer, the shop that was to become Condor Cycles was started by Monty Young with some help from Harry Rensch, building hand made frames just down the road from Pedal Pedlar HQ back in 1948. After a brief hiatus for Monty to do some national service, Condor employed the highly skilled BIll Hurlow to build their bikes in 1954, continueing to do so until 1968. With intricately cut fancy lugs the Hurlow built Condors are now highly prized. Through the next few decades Condor continued to nurture new British racing talent and build high end bikes, they also managed to keep up with the industry and adapt their bikes to the new materials making bikes from aluminium and carbon. Despite a shift to mass producing bikes in the far east, Condor still produce custom and off the peg steel frames at their facility in Italy.

Though best known for their road bikes Condor built a number of mountain bikes through the 1980s, offering custom and semi-custom options. This frameset probably dates from 1989, the Reynolds 531 All Terrain decal in this style was used up until then and the frame arrived with us with a a few first generation Campagnolo Euclid parts, which was available at the time. As you'd expect from a frame builder of Condor's repute it is very nicely made and would have been a very expensive custom bike back in the day. There is a small dent on the top tube and some slight deformation to the seat tube below the seat clamp, none of which affect the structural integrity.

48.5cm Lexpres Vintage Belgian Track Bike Frame

£450.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.6 kg
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Lexpres was a small cycle shop in Antwerp, Belgium that built (or had built for them) bikes bearing their name in the late 1970s and early 1980s. There are very few examples of their bikes still in circulation, but it seems that track bikes were a speciality.

It is built from lightweight but strong Ishiwata 022 tubing with Shimano horizontal dropouts and Bocama lugs, and is not drilled for a brake. The frame is stamped '77' on the bottom bracket shell which given the frame details suggest this could well be the year of manufacture. With it's original paintwork and transfers this classic frameset is ready to be built up and put back to work on the boards.

48cm Mino Denti Mistral Vintage Italian Road Bike Frame

£895.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Super lightweight for the era - only 2.3 kg!
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Mino Denti was a great Italian racer who rode for some fantastic teams throughout the 1960s, he would probably be classed as a super-domestique these days as he was often found riding for the bigger names on his team. After his racing career ended in the late 1960s, Mino worked in the management side of professional cycling before taking the well-trodden path to starting his own bicycle business in 1979. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Mino decided he would do the building himself, and whilst there are very few Mino built frames out there, they're all beautifully finished and often sports unusual features such as hand-crimped tubes or bent seat tubes.

At just 48cm, this Mino Denti Mistral is just about as small a vintage road bike frame as you are likely to find. Built from super lightweight Columbus butted tubing and with aerodynamics in mind, it probably dates from the late 1980s. The shifter mounts are located on top of the downtube and the cables are routed into the downtube, then out again by the bottom bracket where they loop round on the outside of the frame to the derailleurs. The most interesting and unique feature here though has to be the Columbus Air flattened fork and chainstays for super aero appeal, and of course the short head tube promotes a streamlined head down/bum up position on the bike.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

52.5cm Dilecta Vintage French Step-Through Bike Frame

£275.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1940s/50s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Dilecta are one of the lesser known french marques, most likely due to the demise of production during the 1950s. The company began life way back, during 1913 in central France. As was the fashion back then they built both bicycles & motorcycles, and during the first half of the 20th century Dilecta were the sponsor of a successful racing team, winning many titles including Paris-Roubaix, Tour of Flanders & Paris-Le Havre. After the unfortunate assassination of the company's founder Albert Chichery in 1944, this bicycle maker began to fade into history as it finally closed its doors in 1956.

This delightful 1940s or 50s Dilecta frame is likely a 'Tourisme' model and is built in the low slung berceau (cradle) style. This would have been a high end but practical bike back then, offering a complete package of mutiple gears, mudguards and luggage carrying capacity all wrapped up in a typically chic and stylish two tone paint job. The frame is designed around the recently resurgent 650B wheel size and will take a lovely wide tyre, it would make a wonderful retro-mod town bike

52.5cm Kestrel 4000 Vintage American Road Bike Frame

£895.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s/90s
✓ Super lightweight for the era - only 2.3 kg!
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

The brainchild of composite visionary Brent Trimble, along with former employee's of Trek and Blackburn, Kestrel was launched onto the scene in the late 1980s by Cycle Composites Inc. Beginning with a game-changing monocoque road bike that graced the front cover of magazines and was immediately raced to devestating effect in 1987, followed by the first full suspension carbon MTB (with V Brakes!) in 1988. Through the early adoption of computer aided design and aerodynamics, Kestrel can be credited with creating the genesis of the high-performance carbon road bike that is so prevalent today.

Taking eight years to design, test and prepare for manufacture the 4000 emerged as a fully formed, ready to race super bike in 1987. The first mass-produced carbon monocoque road bike available, it looked like nothing else, and importantly rode like nothing else too. The new technology that went into the building the 4000 resulted in a stiff, comfortable, light, well balanced frame, something of a first for carbon. To top it off it also had a strong aerodynamic benefit with its profiled shape and internal cable routing. As well as the cutting edge technology of the time, renowned bike designer and engineer Keith Bontrager advised on the geometry which pulled together into a phenomenal race bike.

This example of the legendary Kestrel 4000 frame was built in 1990, towards the end of the production run and is spaced for 6 or 7 speed drivetrains at the rear. With the classic Imron white paintwork in great order and very few marks, this rare machine was obviously well looked after and is ready to give many more years of service.

52cm Bottecchia Battaglin Branded Vintage Italian Road Bike Frame

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Super lightweight for the era - only 2.5 kg!
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Though branded with Battaglin decals from the late 1980s, this appears to be a curious mix of a Bottecchia built frame with a Berma pantographed fork. The frame lugs carry the distinctive Bottecchia cut out shape, and the internal cable routing is in a style they used too, whilst the fork carries the Berma 'B' on the fork crown. The purple and neon yellow colour scheme is reminiscent of the Team Jolly Componibili colours, who rode on Battaglins in the 80s and 90s. With Campagnolo dropouts front and rear and a slotted bottom bracket this is a well made frame, regardless of its slightly confused identity!

52cm Lapierre Porteur Vintage French Steel Step-Through Bike Frame Set

£225.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1960s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Though most recently known for their successful mountain bike range and race teams, Lapierre have been building bikes for 75 years. Starting in 1946 in Dijon by Gaston Lapierre, the firm was passed to his son Jacky in 1960, with his son Gilles in turn taking over in 1996. One of the first French brands to jump on board the MTB craze in the mid 80s, Lapierre have become synonymous with world-beating race machines, with ten times MTB champion Nicolas Vouilloz piloting their bikes. Unlike some of their contemporaries Lapierre did not get involved with professional road racing until quite late on, but by the early 2000s were having a great deal of success. From a small family business in the 1950s, Lapierre grew with the bike boom and in 1993 were bought out by the huge conglomerate Accell who also now own Raleigh, Batavus and Koga.

We believe this lovely Lapierre step-through frame set dates back to the 1960s and is a classic 'Porteur' style bike, built for practicality and function. Designed for 650B wheels with rear drum brake and front cantilever, this would have been the equivalent of the decked out company car for someone. Complete with the stunning original polished chrome chainguard, super wide mudguards and rear rack this will make a stylish commuter or, with the addition of a front porteur rack, it would no doubt be capable of carrying a decent load around town, just like orginally intended.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

52cm Peugeot Triathlon (Specialized Branded) Vintage French Road Bike Frame

Though branded Specialized this is a refinished Peugeot Triathlon PGN10, built from Reynolds 501 with a neat quill seatpost set-up. Probably from 1986, this model came at a lower price point than the full 531C Triathlon Peugeot also offered, but still had the racy geometry and recessed allen key brakes. The quill seatpost does away with a seat post bolt on the frame itself and results in a very neatly finished frame design.

52cm TJ Cycles Vintage British Road Bike Frame

£365.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.7 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Though relatively speaking Trevor Jarvis (TJ) Cycles is something of a newcomer, they were best known for (re)producing a classic, innovative frame design known as 'The Flying Gate'. In 1979 Trevor decided that, as a life-long cyclist and owner of an established engineering business, he should start building frames, and he looked to the past at the iconic muti-tubed short wheelbase Flying Gate design. With its distinctive silhouette and clever positioning of tubing, the Gate was originally designed in the 1930s by Bill Baines and the bike quickly gained a reputation as being very fast. Alongside the Gate, TJ Cycles produced custom bikes in whatever style was required until Trevor hung up his torch a few years ago.

This TJ Cycles branded frame is nicely built from Reynolds 531 with a neat lug set and sloping fork crown. Though branded TJ Cycles we are unable to confirm the frame was built by Trevor Jarvis as it lacks a frame number and this traditional style of frame was not often built by TJ Cycles so it is hard to find comparisons. Likely dating from the 1980s this is a classic British road frame with a decent clearances and a lovely blue metallic paint job.

These lovely quality 'Donna' dropped top tube race frames have never been finished or built up, and are available here in their raw state ready for painting.

The frames also feature downtube shifter bosses, a braze on front mech mount, neat dynamo light cable guides, mudguard eyelets and a pump peg. Chromed on the rear dropouts and drive side chainstay, and with a chromed fork they will look fantastic with a single colour or more adventurous paint job.

Front & Rear Spacing - measured from the inside of one dropout to the other. The dropouts on steel frames can be stretched or squeezed a few mm but it's always best to avoid this if possible, aluminium or carbon frames should never be stretched.

Headset Threads - although it's generally recommended to match threaded parts exactly, with headsets you can technically mix and match, unless you have French or the obscure old Raleigh threads, in which case you need to stick to that type.

53.5cm Ciocc Designer 84 Vintage Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£450.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.8 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Ciöcc bagan in the 1970s when ex-racer Giovanni Pelizzoli turned his hand to building high quality frames in Northern Italy. Pelizzoli is considered one of the greatest frame-builders of his generation and many Ciöcc were raced through the 70s and 80s. The top of the range bikes were named after successes in San Cristobel in 1977 and the 1980 Moscow Olympics (the Mockba '80) though there were no doubt many other victories on rebranded Ciöcc frames too as was the norm at the time. Pelizzoli parted company with the brand some time in the 1980s but the company continued building with the knowledge he had imparted to them and they still make bikes (albeit far different ones!) today.

Although this delightfully finished frame has none of the trademark Ciocc pantographs or engravings, the details match those of the Designer 84 model it's badged as. With a very neat black to dark purple metallic fade paint job with chromed rear triangle and fork, this is a very well put together frame. The lugs and small frame details are all in line with other Ciocc frames of the period too. Internal rear brake routing and a braze-on for the front mech date it to the mid 1980s, and it has obviously led an easy life up to now.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

53.5cm Pat Hanlon Vintage Road Bike Frame

£365.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.7 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Famed first and foremost for her wheel-building, Pat Hanlon was an extraordinary woman in the predominantly man's world of post-war bike racing and building. Pat started her first shop just down the road from Pedal Pedlar HQ in Tottenham in 1957, continuing to build wheels for world champions and local racers alike, introducing a range of frames bearing her name in 1960 built by the legendary Vic Edwards. Later frames were also built by other well known London builder's Les Ephgrave and Tom Board. Those who are still lucky enough to own a pair of Pat's original wheels are no doubt carefully looking after them!

This frame has an interesting mix of features that make it hard to place time-wise. The Campagnolo 1060 semi-horizontal dropouts and clamp-on down tube shifter pip all point to late 60s/early 70s but the under bottom bracket cable routing and allen key brake fixings suggest later, likely the back end of the 1970s. Regardless, the lug work is very nicely done and the frame is nice and light, especially considering the clearance for wider tyres and mudguard eyelets.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or any other vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

53cm John Pavey Vintage Road Bike Frame

John Pavey supplied bicycles and parts throughout the 70s and 80s from his base near Cambridge, a number of which bore his name on the downtube. It is not clear if John himself built the bikes but we suspect they were contracted out, the examples we have seen are all well put together from quality tube sets with a good finish.

This nicely made 1970s John Pavey branded road bike would have been made for the Cambridgeshire shop by an out-sourced framebuilder. With very fine and delicate pencil seat stays, minimal diver's helmet cable stops and hand cut lugs it's a handsome looking frame.

Sportivo Bavikhove is a racing bike specialist shop in Belgium started by local former professional Lieven Malfiet. In the early 80s Sportivo began importing frames from Italy to brand as their own and the frame details from this bike suggest it is one of the earlier bikes they sold. With cut-out lugs, a slotted BB and Campagnolo droupouts this frame is well put together, the chromed fork and headtube lugs and drive side chainstay give it a classic look too.

54.5cm Benotto NOS Vintage Road Bike Frame

✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Benotto have an enviable race pedigree having been ridden to World Championship, one day classic and stage race victories by such legends as Francesco Moser and Freddy Maertens. Like other top Italian marques a Benotto is often instantly recognisable by the colour, the ‘Champagne’ grey finish being used for their top bikes for many years. As well as producing finely made race bikes in Italy Benotto produced frames in Mexico and were extremely popular in South America. Benotto are also well known for their shiny bar tape which was available in a wide range of colours and was extremely popular through the 70s and 80s.

Built from Oria's RANF double butted chromoly tube set (similar to Columbus SLX or TSX), this new old stock frame is ready to be built up into a period race machine or retro-mod. With classic Benotto geometry and attention to detail this is a fine example of an Italian frame of the era, with diamond shaped chainstays and internally routed rear brake cable. The model may be a 3000 but the lack of pantographed parts and a frame number make it hard to correctly identify, regardless it's rare to find a frame of this calibre still unbuilt after 30 plus years!

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.6 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

The Professional was the name given to the high end race frames built by Batavus through the 1970s, 80s and into the 90s. They were available in a wide range of tube sets and configurations throughout that period, and often built from the top tube sets from Reynolds (531C and 531P) or Columbus, including SL, SP and SLX. The frames were a direct competitor to the famous Gazelle Champion Mondial, and they stand up rather well we must say.

This particular Professional is probably from the mid to late 1980s, built from Reynolds 531 'Professional' (or 531P) which was the lightest version of 531 available at the time. This frame is also built with the neat minimal Cinelli fork crown, a Dardanne BB shell and Campagnolo dropouts, resulting in a very well put together frame.

Shortly after winning the Giro and the Vuelta in just 48 days, Giovanni Battaglin started his eponymous bike company. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Battaglin built a small number of high quality frames for professional riders, including Stephen Roche's bikes the year he won the triple crown (two Grand Tours and the World Championships). Giovanni Battaglin is still building beautiful steel bikes by hand from his workshop in Veneto today.

Resplendent in the neon yellow and purple colours of the famous 'Jolly Club 88' team, this racy frameset screams 1980s. Built from Columbus Aelle tubing, and with Battaglin pantographed bottom bracket shell, seatstay caps and fork this could be a classic Italian race bike. The World Champion decals point to it being produced after Stephen Roche's win piloting a Battaglin in 1987.

With a history spanning almost a century, and with both world and Italian national champion wins, Berma are perhaps not as widely known as they should be. Hailing from Padova, Italy, Berma built very fine frames in the Italian race tradition - lightweight, aggressive, beautiful and often bedecked in the finest Italian parts from the period. Legendary contract builders Billato built for the brand during their early years too.

This Berma Professional is probably from the 1980s and is built from Italian Oria TT 0.9 tubing. The red and white graphic paint job is typically Italian and of the time, the contrasting chrome forks and drive side chainstay show great attention to detail. This is a classic Italian frameset in a smaller size and will make a vintage (or maybe even neo-retro!) build.

54cm Gazelle Race c.1968 Vintage Dutch Road Bike Frame

✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.8 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Gazelle are perhaps most famous today for producing workhorses, the type produced in the hundreds of millions every year in Dieren, the Netherlands. Back in the 1960s however they were a much different beast. After the introduction of their 'Special Racing Division' in the 1980s, they assembled a professional cycling team sponsored by Dutch Cigar makers, Willem II. The most successful rider in the Willem II-Gazelle team was undoubtedly Rik Van Looy, but also included greats such as Harn Ottenbros & Peter Post to name just a couple. Gazelle's greatest years were yet to come, their most famous race frame, the Champion Mondial had been introduced to the world by the mid 70s and many famous partnerships followed.

Before the Champion Mondial came the Gazelle 'Race'. Lesser known due to its scarcity but by no means less important. It was this model that Rik Van Looy & Harm Ottenbros spent the latter half of the 1960s racing on. Built from Reynold's all-conquering 531 tube set with hand-cut lugs and a race-bred geometry the Race was ahead of it's time. With ample clearance and the ability to add mudguards these frames can be built into a period correct team race bike or a really practical vintage rider.

This 1968 Gazelle Race looks like it could have been a team frame, with the lack of mudguard eyelets, Zeus dropouts and the same grey colour that was used by the Willem II team at the time. Still in great condition for the age this lovely little lightweight is ready to be put together and ridden again by its lucky new owner.

54cm Ken Bird Vintage British Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£360.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.6 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

An important character in the South London cycling scene, Ken Bird was a master wheel-builder, team mechanic and shop owner who, along with his brother Alec, pushed the boundaries of frame manufacture. Starting with Claud Butler in the 1950s, Ken went on to manage a shop for Hinds and then Clive Stuart Cycles, he was the British team mechanic for three years until 1968, the year Tom Simpson died during the race. Though legend has it Ken and Alec were not exactly the best of friends, it is thought that Alec built some frames branded Ken Bird, with other local builders including Holdsworth and Roberts known to have built others. Ken Bird had a reputation in the 1970s for pushing how light a competitive TT machine could be, with lugs, frame tubes and components all heavily modified, drilled and lightened.

This early 1970s TT machine has all the hallmarks of a high end, lightweight TT bike as was typical of the race-winning machines Ken Bird were producing at the time. With a two digit 'BBC" frame number, drilled bottom bracket and rear dropout plus neatly brazed-on brake bolts, this was a machine built purely for performance. Fastback seat stays, a sloping fork crown and minimal lugs also indicate the high quality of this frame, and although the re-spray is not perfect, it could easily look like the top of the range bike it once was.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.9 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

This extremely eye-catching fully chromed road frameset is branded Marino, which we believe was a small bike shop in Italy. It really is a very nice frame indeed, the long tangs with cut-outs on the fork, head tube and bottom bracket lugs are the kind of subtle attention to detail only master craftsmen bother with. Probably dating from the mid to late 1980s this frame set will build into a real head turner that'll no doubt attract attention, plus it'll sparkle in the sunshine.

54cm Mercier Special Tour De France Vintage French Road Bike Frame

£295.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Mercier cycles built frames and full bikes near Lyon in France for 65 years, sponsoring some top riders who wore the iconic purple and yellow jersey ,including Louison Bobet, Cyrille Guimard, Raymond Poulidor and Joop Zoetemelk. Mercier produced a large range from children's bikes to top end racing machines, they were a high volume builder and had a great deal of success during the 'bike boom' years, producing 150,000 bikes in 1975 alone. Their top end bikes are often finished in purple or pink (or somewhere in between!), like the garish colours of the racing team jerseys, Emile Mercier claiming at the time that “It may not be pretty, but at least we stand out in the peloton”.

Though made in large numbers, the Special Tour de France was a nicely made bike and sat near the top of Mercier's large range of bikes. The name celebrates the company's long history of sponsoring professional race teams, having been involved in every edition from 1933 to 1983.

This Mercier Special Tour de France is an early 1970s model, built from Vitus tubes and with a classic purple paint job. Although not cosmetically perfect, the frame will make the basis for a solid L'Eroica restoration or even qualify for use as a reliable daily commuter.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

54cm Unknown Vintage Track Bike Frame

£295.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1960s/70s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.8 kg
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

This unknown steel track frame has a number of quality features and probably dates from the 1960s or 1970s. Though there are no identifying marks or stamps, the five digit frame number implies it was built by a small volume builder and the fork dropouts are by Simplex, so perhaps pointing to a French or British builder. Regardless of where it was made, and by whom, the frame is very well put together with lovely long point lugs, a Fischer 'twin plate' fork crown and heavy duty rear dropouts. The fork has been drilled for a brake but the rear has not.

55.5cm Bill Holland Vintage American Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£795.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s/90s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.8 kg
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Trained by the legendary Albert Eisentraut, Bill Holland has been building high end steel, titanium and lately carbon frames from San Diego for nearly 50 years. Dedicating himself to building steel frames for his first 20 years, he produced quality over quantity and his frames are few and far between, especially outside of the USA. Bill began to experiment with titanium in the mid 90s and exclusively built with the material until the mid 2010s when he started to offer full custom carbon frames built by hand.

A rare find on this side of the pond, this exquisite road frame combines the expertise of two Californian legends; Bill Holland and Joe Bell. Probably from the late 80s or early 90s it sports minimal, intricate lug-work, shot-in seatstays and seamless fully sloping fork crown resulting in a sleek look. The original Joe Bell two-tone paintwork is amongst the best in the business, neon pink contrasting with a bluey-purple finish that includes the painted-to-match Silca frame pump.

55.5cm Holdsworth Vintage British Road Bike Frame

£395.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.8 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Holdsworth started as a side project by William Frank (Sandy) Holdsworth in the late 1920s after he bought a bike shop in Putney and asked his brother in law to run it. The business did very well and by the end of the 1930s had three more shops. With a reputation already for providing excellent cycling clothing, the company employed the legendary Bill Hurlow to build frames for them in 1938. In the 50s and 60s Holdsworth bought the business and brands of Freddie Grubb, Claud Butler and Macleans, all famous London builders, but they had become too big to offer the personalised frame-building they were once known for. In the 1970s the company split into two factions and Roy Thame took over the W.F. Holdsworth shop, continuing to build bikes under the Holdsworth brand into the 1990s.

This mid 80s W. F. Holdsworth frame is probably one of the frame only options available at the time and is very well put together. The Reynolds 531 tube set is built with precise lugs and a semi-sloping Haden fork crown, finished in a very dark metallic grey, almost black. The frame has no mudguard eyelets but the clearance is good, it would build into a lively and comfortable every day bike, or of course a classic Eroica build!

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

55.5cm Owen Blower Vintage British Steel Road Bike Frame Set

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.8 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Owen Blower was a successful British racer in the late 1950s who went on to start a shop in Leicester, selling bikes bearing his name until the 1980s. Racing predominately in Britain, Owen took the title of Best British All Rounder (BBAR) and set a new 12 hour time trial record that would stand for 9 years in 1958. Owen also went on to race across the continent, including the Peace Race, and finished 5th overall in the 1959 Milk Race. His shop in Leicester sold British built lightweights, specialising in time trial machines which were built by contract builders including Mike Kowal of Autostrada.

This neat 1970s Blower branded road frame was probably built by Mike Kowal at Autostrada. With Campagnolo ends, long-point lugs and a Reynolds 531 tube set this is a solid frame that will build into a super every day bike. The original transfers are showing their age but could be cleaned off and replaced fairly easily.

✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Peugeot are perhaps the best known mass producers of bicycles and have a long and illustrious history. Cycles Peugeot began producing Penny Farthings in 1886, quickly moving with the technological advancements of the day and becoming one of the world's largest and most successful bike builders through the post war period and bike boom years. With an astonishing 500 models of bike available in the 1970s Peugeot were ubiquitous in Europe and North America, sales were aided by ongoing success with the factory professional team which won an unprecedented 10 Tour de France titles. The company strived to use French built parts on all of its bikes for many years, and there are many brilliant examples of their bikes fully decked out with parts from Stronglight, Simplex and Mavic.

We believe this is a 1961 Peugeot PL-8 in original 'Italian Blue' colour. The paintwork and decals all look orignal and are in pretty good order for a bike over 60 years old. Designed for every day use, the PL-8 had 4 gears at the rear and a double chainset up front with comfortable swept back handlebars, the sort of bike that was once ubiquitous on the streets of any French city. With a neatly designed rear rack, mudguards and integrated dynamo lights included this will make a super town bike, commuter or period porteur bike.

55cm Coppi Campionissimo Vintage Italian Road Bike Frame

£695.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1960s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Like a lot of great cyclists of his time Fausto Coppi decided in the later years of his career that he should have a bike company. He turned to Italian contract builders Fiorelli in 1954 and they agreed to build bikes with the Il Campionissimo's name on. Coppi's last year of professional racing was with the Tricofilina Coppi Team who rode on Fiorelli built, Coppi branded bikes. After Coppi died in 1960 Fiorelli continued to produce bikes for the brand, often with a similar design to those they produced with their own name on. Further success was achieved when Ole Ritter broke the hour record aboard a Fiorelli built Coppi in 1968, and production continued up until 1990 when the Fiorelli factory closed after nearly 60 years of building bikes.

This beautiful and rare Coppi Campionissimo was probably built at the start of the 1960s around the time of the might Fausto Coppi's untimely death. The fully chromed frame with 'chromovelato' varnished over panels still show signs of the world championship bands, and the badge on the fork is of the early design. Built by Fiorelli under contract these frames are very similar to those that Coppi himself rode in his last year of professional cycling. A high end and expensive bike in its time, it would have been kitted out with Campagnolo Record, Universal centre pull brakes and the finest Italian parts available. Today, especially in original condition it is a very rare and collectible frame, ready to built up back to its former glory.

Designed to be a quality every day bike with mudguards and a few gears operated from a top tube shifter, alongside the comfy and practical 650B wheels this example still has its original paint finish and decals and is ready to be put back into service again.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

Seat Tube (ctc) - we measure from the centre of the bottom bracket shell up to the centre line of the top tube to give a consistent measurement regardless of frame design (ctc means centre to centre).

Top Tube (ctc) - this is measured from the centre of the head tube to the centre of the seat tube, along the centre of the top tube.

Chainstay Length - measured from the centre of the bottom bracket shell to the centre point of the rear dropout.

Wheelbase - measured from the centre of the front fork dropout to the centre point of the rear dropout.

Front & Rear Spacing - measured from the inside of one dropout to the other. The dropouts on steel frames can be stretched or squeezed a few mm but it's always best to avoid this if possible, aluminium or carbon frames should never be stretched.

Headset Threads - although it's generally recommended to match threaded parts exactly, with headsets you can technically mix and match, unless you have French or the obscure old Raleigh threads, in which case you need to stick to that type.

£175.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Though perhaps better known for its mass produced racing bikes produced in France through the 50, 60s and 70s, Gitane sponsored a number of high profile professional teams and have had no less than five Tour de France winners riding for them, including greats such as Bernard Hinault and Laurent Fignon! Gitane have been making bicycle parts and bikes since 1926 and at their height were one of the largest exporters of high quality racing bikes to the USA.

The Gitane Inter Club was an entry level road frame with many of the features of their higher end bikes, including the distinctive honeycomb or 'spiders web' dropouts. Often specced with all French made components they were a widely available export model during the bike boom of the 1970s.

56.5cm Unbranded Moser Badged Vintage Road Bike Frame

£295.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Although carefully badged up as a Moser, we're not convinced this road frame actually is one underneath the 1980s fade paintjob. Regardless of who actually built this frame, it's been well looked after and is rather finely built. The chrome fork has a Cinelli style crown and the frame is complete with a braze-on gear hanger, spoiler rear brake bridge and a British thread BB. There is a Columbus Aelle decal present, and the 27.0 mm seat post size and overall frame weight suggest this is right, making it a great frame for a period 80s build.

Wheelbase - 98 cm

56cm Geoffrey Butler Vintage British Road Bike Frame

£325.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.9 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Geoffrey Butler Cycles were a South London mainstay during the 1960s and 70s, building high quality frames for club riders and professionals alike. Geoffrey was the brother of the more well known Claud Butler, and sadly passed away just a year after his eponymous brand began in 1956. Several legendary London framebuilders were thought to have built for the shop including both Charlie and Chas Roberts, and also the legendary Cliff Shrub. The shop was one of the last of the London Lightweights to keep going, alas they finally closed their doors in 2021 :(

This repainted Geoffrey Butler is likely to have been built in the 1980s, and is neatly put together with a Reynolds 531 ST (Super Tourist) tube set. Likely built as an 'all-rounder' or light-touring / audax bike, this frame set takes 27" wheels and has ample clearance for mudguards and comfortable, wide tyres. The Super Tourist tube set is lightweight yet strong, it's a good weight for the size and is clearly built with great care.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!
