Eddie Soens was a hugely successful coach, nurturing the talent of national and international champions and Olympians throughout his long career. During the late 1950s Eddie's son Bill started a frame-building shop in Liverpool using his father's name on the bikes, although only about 800 were built they garnered a reputation for being of very high quality.
Probably built in the early 60s (frame number 572), this touring style frame would have been equipped with bar end shifters and mudguards from new. With ample clearance and fairly relaxed angles this could be set up to be a great commuter or fast tourer. The frameset has had a repaint fairly recently with good quality lug-lining and period-correct frame decals and Reynolds 531 badges, there are some marks from use but overall it's in very nice condition for a 60 year old frame.
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!
The frame's been carefully checked by one of our mechanics to confirm the alignment's correct and there's no damage to the threads. If there are any minor issues worth noting we will do so in the overview section below. Please take a good look at the detailed photos so you can see the cosmetic condition of the frame before you buy.OVERVIEW

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.
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!

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!

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ 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
Alec Bird was a very well respected racer in his time who along with his Brother Ken took the oft-trodden path to becoming a framebuilder. Working out of Welling on the outskirts of London, Alec worked for Clive Stuart Cycles for many years and built some highly sought after frames.
Though branded Alec Bird this frameset is actually an Alan, built in Italy from bonded aluminium tubes and one of the lightest framesets available at the time. It's a Competizione model from the early to mid 1970s, with no cable guides or braze-ons, a real taste of the future, from the past!
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
£295.00
✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.5 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping
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.
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!

£265.00
✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1960s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Designed by British great Ernie Clements, Falcon built lovely quality, nicely finished but affordable frames by hand up until the 1980s. The firm was amongst a number of good quality frame builders in Britain at the time and their bikes were generally built with Reynolds and had quick, race-bred handling inspired by Ernie's racing career. Falcon were also great cycle-sports advocates sponsoring the British National professional team for many years, including reputedly building Tom Simpson's race bikes.
This lovely 1960s Falcon frameset is built with Nervex lugs, delicate pencil seat stays and still mostly sports its original transfers. The early style horizontal dropouts without a gear hanger but with mudguards eyes make it very versatile meaning it could be built in any number of ways.

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.
