Bottle Fit - almost all cycling bottles measure between 70 - 75 mm in diameter so this is the standard bottle cage size, the only rather rare exceptions are some old Elite bottles that require a 66 mm cage, the more recent oversized ones and of course the funny shaped aero ones that only accept the bottle they were made for.

Housing Type - brake and gear cables have different specifications and are generally not interchangeable, although older bikes with non-index shifting often used brake housing instead of gear. We'd still recommend using the dedicated front or rear derailleur cable housings for non-index setups whenever possible.

Casing Width - the outside diameter of the housing. Brake cable housing is a little wider in diameter than gear, this is to accommodate the slightly thicker inner cables.

Ferrule Size - if ferrules are included, this measurement is of the outside diameter at the widest part

Brake Fit - brake pads are specific to the type of brake so you need to use the correct ones.

Pad Type - replaceable (also known as cartridge) brake pads have inserts that can be replaced once they wear out. With one piece pads you do not have this option.

Rim Type - some wheel rims such as ceramic or carbon ones require brake pads to be made of specific compounds. If you have steel rims you can use pads designed for alloy rims but you will get much better performance when using the correct pads.

Pedal Fixing - 'standard' toe clips fix to the front of the pedals, most will be of this type and work with both quill & platform pedals providing they have mounting holes in the correct place. There are also 'aero' ones that attach to the top, and side fixing versions too. 'Wide platform' fixings are similar to standard ones but the fixing holes are almost 3 inches apart.

Toe Strap Fit - most toe clips are designed to accept a single toe strap, but there are some less common ones that allow two toe straps to be fitted.

Length - this is measured from the fixing end to the toe end at the most extreme points, the same way the manufacturers measure and we use this to recommend the fit if there's no size stamped on them. All length measurements are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm.

Distance Between Fixing Bolts - we measure this distance from the centre of one hole to the next (ctc), this usually only needs to be close, not exact, providing the holes on the toe clips are oblong shaped to allow a decent amount of wiggle room (most toe clips are made this way).

Tooth Count - the number of teeth on the chainring, the higher the number the harder the gear.

Between Adjacent Bolt Holes - the measurement from the centre of any bolt hole to the centre of an adjacent one, if this measurement is the same as that of your crankset and the bolt count is the same then the chainring should fit.

BCD - stands for Bolt Circle Diameter (sometimes referred to as PCD - Pitch Circle Diameter) and is the technical way to determine whether the chainring fits your crankset. To calculate, multiply the distance between adjacent holes (in mm) by 1.709 (you’ll likely need to round the resulting number up or down a little).

Bolt Count - the number of bolts securing the chainring to the chainset. As with the BCD, this must be the same as your chainset.

Chain Width - 3/32” is the standard width for double and triple chainsets, wherease 1/8” chainrings are only found on single ring chainsets, generally for track / singlespeed use and can only be used with a wide 1/8" chain.

Intended Speed - the number of cogs at the back the chainring was designed to be used with. We refer to it as ‘intended’ speed as most double and triple chainsets will actually work with different speeds than originally intended, but the further away you get from the intended speed the more likely you are to experience minor setup issues. The exception being some chainrings intended for 10 speed use or higher, with these it’s better to stick to the intended speed.

Valve Type - there are 3 types of valves; Presta are thin with a little knurled nut on the end, Schrader are wider (the same as you would find on a car), and the less common Woods (aka "Dunlop"). Pumps designed for Presta valves can be used on Woods valves. Some pumps use hose connectors, these are available for all valve types.

Pump Mount Type - 'peg fit' pumps require pump pegs or 'umbrella' clips to fit to the frame, 'frame fit 'pumps are designed with curved ends to mount between two tubes (although these often have holes for pegs too). If mounting directly you'll need the correct length to fit your frame, or a clip/peg to hold one end.

Mount Location - frame fit pumps usually mount to the seat tube with the ends compressed between the top and down tube, they can however be mounted on other tubes as long as there's something supporting the handle end. Some head tubes have a little nipple or a small enough gap for under top tube mounting (this can be replcated with a simple strap or cable tie), and of course pump pegs or clips can be fitted anywhere!

Length (Min-Max) - the length of the pump fully compressed and uncompressed, measured at the points of support. The space you to intend to mount the pump should be within 1 cm of the minimum or maximum length to allow the pump to be securely mounted and dismounted.

Drilling - the number of holes for the spokes.

Rim Size - the sizing given by the manufacturer, these can be confusing so we also give the ISO diameter too for clarification.

ISO Diameter - the diameter of the rim at the point where the tyre is seated (bead seat diameter). This is a universal measurement, often displayed on tyres as 28-622 or similar, 28 referring to the tyre width and 622 being the ISO diameter in millimetres.

Valve Type - presta valves are the thin ones and Schrader are the fatter ones. Schrader valve holes will also accept the older Dunlop/Woods type valves.

Rim Width (OD) - the width of the rim, measured from the outside of one wall to the other.

Rim Height - the overall height of the rim, measured to the highest point of the rim’s profile.

52.5cm Pinarello Veneto Classic Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£525.00

✓ Original classic frame - built in the 1990s
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

The Pinarello story is a magnificent one, from Giovanni Pinarello taking the Maglia Nera (Black Jersey for last place) in the 1951 Giro D’Italia to the dominance of Pinarello in the cycling world today. It truly is a fairy tale, from being left out of the 1952 Giro and taking the opportunity to open his own tiny workshop in Treviso, Italy, and from there Giovanni built the Cicli Pinarello brand from the ground up. Bit by bit the success came, and with a reputation for taking the underdogs and turning them into champions, slowly but surely Pinarello went from minnows to the giants they are today.

A mainstay in the Pinarello range for many years, the Veneto utilised their expertise in building top end race frames to construct a lower cost but still high quality frame. Often found built with a slightly heavier guage of tubing such as Columbus Aelle the Veneto was offered as a frame only option with Pinarello's usual wide choice of paint colours and finishes, and also sold as a bike with a full mid-range groupset from Shimano or Campagnolo.

This beautiful example of a Veneto is finished in classic 'Rosso Pinarello' and is built from Columbus Aelle tubing. From the end of the era of down-tube shifters, 1” forks, and steel being the material of choice, this early '90s frame represents 40 years of frame-building experience at Pinarello. In really nice condition, with a fully chromed replacement fork.

57cm Colnago Super Profil 3rd Gen c.1983 Vintage Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£895.00

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

Quite possibly the most sought after name on the vintage cycling scene, Colnago earned the status due to the genius of it’s founder, Ernesto Colnago. From the humble beginnings in the 1950s, Colnago became the maker that everyone looked to, and the bike that every cyclist wanted to own. This is likely due to their dominance on the world racing circuit, and in no doubt due to the success of the long standing partnership with the great Eddy Merckx.

This later version Colnago Super Profil frame dates from around 1983 and is the same spec as Saronni used the year previously to win the World Championships. That frame is also known to some as the first version of the Nuovo Mexico – even Colnago seems unsure as to the exact details! Regardless of the precise model, it is a beauty and showcases why Colnago was so sought after then, and still is now. With specially crimped Columbus SL top and down tubes and crimped chainstays, all providing extra stiffness, this was a proven race-winner. In its original pearl metallic paint, this is begging for a full Campagnolo Super Record groupset and some hard miles.

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!

£495.00

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

The Lazzaretti brothers Remo and Romolo started their bike building business in Rome in 1916. Romolo was the racer, who had some success internationally and Remo was the businessman who's accumen helped their little shop thrive. Now two shops and still selling bikes, the business did not produce a lot of handbuilt frames, though what examples there are are very nicely made and of an excellent quality.

This eye-catching mid-80s Lazzaretti frame combines some of the best technology of the time into a beautifully made frame. Built from Columbus' top-end SLX tube set and the newly released aerodynamic 'Air' fork blades and crown, this would have been a top of the range frame at the time. The green-to-yellow fade paint job contrasts with the chromed rear end and fork blades, and the frame has a number of brand pantographs, typical of high-end Italian frames of the era.

53cm Somec Air Vintage Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£525.00

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

Born out of a pure passion for cycling, Oliviero Gallegati introduced Somec to the world back in 1973. When we say world, we actually mean the lucky few from the small town of Lugo in the Romagna region of Italy who had the pleasure of being the first cyclist to own these magnificent bicycles. With a name derived from the ‘Societa Meccahnica’ (Mechanic’s society), it’s no surprise that technology was at the forefront of everything that Somec produced, and over the years they became famous not only for their exquisite paint but also for what could be described as futuristic design features, such as the arched brake bridge and integrated seat collar. This kind of detail results in a rare ability to look at a Somec and know that it’s going to be a killer bike to ride, it sounds weird but we’re yet to be proven wrong.

The Air is a very special model, combining Columbus SLX with their profiled Air tubing, which is the reason it gets its name of course. One of Somec's finest frames available at the time, with wonderful cut-outs and engravings all over the place, a generous helping of chrome, alongside the trademark Somec paintwork. A real work of art.

✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Fanini are a true cycling family: promotors; sponsors; team owners; sales reps; manufacturers, and amongst all of this they produced some magnificent hand built bikes. Often equal parts work of art to pure performance, Fanini built bikes that showed what Italian craftsmanship and flair could achieve. Frequently sporting Campagnolo's top end groupsets and a red paintjob, Fanini were built in low numbers throughout the 70s and 80s and are now rather rare to find.

A beautifully understated 1970s lightweight road frame from Fanini, probably made with Columbus SL tubes. Finely detailed hand-cut lugs and a slotted bottom bracket were typical of the artisanal approach to frame-building at Fanini and helped keep the weight down. The metallic burgundy paint job looks to have newer decals applied over the clear coat, and aside from some marks, is in lovely usable condition.

£450.00

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

A formidable racer in his day, Mario Vicini had a huge amount of success on the road in Italy during the 30s and 40s, as well as a second place in the Tour de France. Racing alongside Italian greats such as Cinelli, Bartali, and Coppi, Vicini was savvy enough to start his eponymous bike shop before he had retired from racing, a well-worn path for Italian professional cyclists. After he retired, the Vicini brand grew with the opening of their own factory making all types of bikes, and then in the 1960s, famed contract builder Billato started to produce the high-end road bikes carrying the name. Known for their high levels of detail with pantographed lugs, an engraved head tube badge, and eye-catching paint, the few Vicinis still around today are highly prized.

Like a lot of small-scale brands, it is often hard to know which particular model this Vicini frame is. It is likely to be one of the top models available at the time given the amount of work that was put into the frame; all lugs are pantographed, the rear brake and rear derailleur cable routing is internal, and the rear dropouts are drilled out for weight saving. Further, the frame is built from top-end Columbus SLX tubes with a custom fade paint job over a chromed rear end and fork lowers. Regardless of the model, this is a beautifully put together Billato-built frame.

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!

49cm Chas Roberts c.1991 Classic British Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£595.00

✓ Original classic frame - built in the 1990s
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

South London's finest, Roberts Cycles are known the world over but have a particular cache as a classy frame-builder in the UK. Charlie Roberts honed his craft building frames post-war for various London brands, including Claud Butler and Holdsworth, but decided to strike out on his own in the 1960s. Later, his sons Chas and Geoff were passed the torch. With Charlie's passing in the late '70s, Chas took over the management of the company, and Geoff built alongside Derek Bailey, producing more and more custom road, track, pursuit, and touring frames to an increasing number of admirers. In the early '80s, Winston Vaz joined and spearheaded the production of their mountain bike frames, notably the White Spider and D.O.G.S B.O.L.L.O.X. The brand is now highly sought after by collectors.

This lightweight 1991-built frame is a lovely example of the restrained but well-made custom frames coming out of Roberts' workshop at the time. Made from Reynolds 531 Professional, Reynolds' lightest version of the 531 tube set, it was recommended for racing only due to its thin walls. As was the fashion at the time, the frame has an internally routed rear brake cable, close clearances, and a Cinelli 'spoiler' BB. We suspect the frame has had a fairly recent repaint, as it is in lovely condition with a nice contrasting black and red colour scheme.

✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Often referenced as one of the 'big four' best Italian constructeurs, Ugo De Rosa has an unassailed reputation in the bike world. Though he only started to build frames in 1953, by 1958 he was being asked by Italian race ace Raphael Geminiani to build him a bike to compete in the Giro d'Italia. Through the 1960s, De Rosa built many bikes for individual professional riders and started to work with the iconic Faema team. By 1969, he had become the frame-builder and personal mechanic of Gianni Motta, providing frames for the whole team. A few years later, De Rosa became the personal builder and mechanic for Eddy Merckx, a professional relationship that was to last into the 1990s. He also built for Francesco Moser, and by 1974, 80% of the bikes ridden in the Giro were built by De Rosa. When Eddy Merckx wanted to start his frame-building business, De Rosa was brought on board as a technical consultant and reportedly trained Merckx's team in Belgium.

We believe this beautiful De Rosa frame to be an early '90s Professional SLX model with internally routed rear brake cable. Though precise dates and models of De Rosa frames are hard to pin down due to the lack of serial numbers, this has all the hallmarks of the Professional and is built from Columbus SLX rifled tubing with the later-style fork crown with heart cut-out. Regardless of the model, De Rosa did not build any low-end frames, and they are all manufactured to a very high degree from the best materials. This frame is finished in a classic dark metallic blue with chrome accents; it has possibly had a repaint at some point in its life, as it is in excellent condition.

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 Losa Team Guipek Vintage Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£525.00

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

One of the best known and highly regarded contract builders of the 1980s and '90s, Gianni (or Vanni) Losa was a master craftsman. Best known for producing the highly collectable Cinelli S.C. frames and Pep Magni / ICS frames, he produced a large number of race bikes with other people's names on them. The bikes that he built with his own name on are few and far between, but are always something considered and special, often showcasing his embrace of alternative tubing shapes and styles, and with neat internally routed cables.

A highly unusual frame, this 'Giupek' team-branded Losa frame has a lot going on and is intricately built. Constructed from Columbus 'Gilco' style shaped tubing (with a Columbus Air fork) and finished in full chrome with infilled Chromovelato over the top, it is extremely eye-catching. Likely from the mid-1980s, this would have been a huge amount of work to produce and a very expensive frameset at the time. The Giupek decals are over the top of the paint finish, so they could be removed to make it slightly more subtle!

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!

56.5cm Pinarello Asolo c.1991 Classic Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£625.00

✓ Original classic frame - built in the 1990s
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

The Pinarello story is a magnificent one, from Giovanni Pinarello taking the Maglia Nera (Black Jersey for last place) in the 1951 Giro D’Italia to the dominance of Pinarello in the cycling world today. It truly is a fairy tale, from being left out of the 1952 Giro and taking the opportunity to open his own tiny workshop in Treviso, Italy, and from there Giovanni built the Cicli Pinarello brand from the ground up. Bit by bit the success came, and with a reputation for taking the underdogs and turning them into champions, slowly but surely Pinarello went from minnows to the giants they are today.

The 1990s was the decade that Pinarello truly dominated, and it was during that time that the Asolo model was introduced. At the start of the 90s there were only 3 bikes available in the Pinarello catalogue; Asolo, Treviso & Montello (the latter being the top model), but do not be tricked into thinking the Asolo was ‘entry level’. Every frame was produced to the same high standard and shared their trademark ride quality of a ‘proper’ racing bike, only the tubing used differed from model to model. The Asolos were built initially from Columbus Cromor and then Dolmen tubing, made especially for Pinarello by Dedacciai, both of which yielded only a touch heavier frames than the Columbus SL & SLX frames ridden by the Pinarello team icons such as Pedro Delgado or Giovanni Battaglin.

This Asolo we believe is from 1991, most likely built from Dedacciai Dolmen tubing, and as finely made as you would expect from one of Italy’s best builders. The black to purple horizontal fade paint is a classic Pinarello look, here matched with chrome forks and drive-side chainstay.

✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Former Carlton frame-builders Eddie and Chris Hazlehurst were not widely known outside of their native Derbyshire but built a small quantity of quality frames through the '80s and '90s. The name Edison came from 'Eddie and son,' and though there are not many surviving examples of their work built at their shop in Clowne, those that remain are well regarded.

This rare 1980s Edison frame is of lovely quality and built from Reynolds 531c lightweight tubing and long-point lugs with Carlton-esque semi-wrapped seat stays. Very light at just over 2.5 kg for a 55cm frame, this would have been a top-end custom bike in its day. With a striking blue-to-white-to-red fade paint job over chromed dropouts, it is in great condition and ready to be built up and ridden.

✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Though not well known outside of Switzerland, Hans Ulrich Moser's 'Moser Radsport' of Bern was the place to go for a high-end road bike in the 1970s and '80s. The frames were designed by Moser and built in Italy by contract builder Renato Negri (formerly of Pogliaghi), who was also at the time building the highly regarded Freschi and Gianni Motta frames. With wonderful attention to detail and a high-end, subtle finish, these were some of the best custom road frames available in Switzerland at the time.

Probably built in the late 1980s, this great-looking Moser frame was built in Italy by famed contract builder Renato Negri. It is likely to be made from Columbus SL tubing, with internal brake routing, fastback seat stays, and a minimal semi-sloping fork crown—it looks quick even when stood still. The pillar-box red powder coat over a fully chromed frame is in great condition and just adds to the '80s Italian go-fast look.

✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Trek are perhaps one of the biggest and best-known names in cycling, but despite currently producing around 1.5 million bikes a year, their first few years were very different. From the embers of a failed chain of bicycle retail shops, Dick Burke and Bevis Hogg decided they could build their own high-end steel frames in the USA to compete with the imported European and Japanese bikes that were selling so well in the mid-'70s. Building an initial run of around 900 touring frames from a barn in Wisconsin in 1976, they doubled their production year on year through the late '70s, and by 1980, they had to build a new factory down the road to meet demand. By then, Trek had established a network of US dealers and started to build high-end steel road bikes in the USA, and by 1983, their first mountain bike. By the mid-'90s, MTBs were 80% of their sales, and by innovating with new materials and building methods, specifically bonding aluminium and carbon tubes together, they increased their international sales, dealers, and total bike sales.

This original 1986 Trek Pro Series 560 is a rare find in this size and condition. Built in the USA from Reynolds 531 tubing, it is a surprisingly light and nimble frame for an entry-level bike. With Trek's proprietary cast lugs, a neat semi-sloping fork crown, and the bold crimson and yellow paint job, it will build into a great-quality road bike for the smaller rider.

56.5cm Ellis Briggs Vintage British Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£450.00

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

Ellis-Briggs were one of the longest running frame builders in the UK having been established in 1936, and although the business is slightly different frames are still being made in Shipley, West Yorkshire today. From the outset Eliis-Briggs' focus was on quality and craftsmanship, with in-house master-builders and their own enamelling set up. With a country-wide reputation for fast club bikes they sponsored a number of budding racers, with Ken Russell winning the 1952 Tour of Britain aboard one of their frames as an independent rider. Building custom bikes under their own brand name 'Favori', they began to sell their frames into the US market during the bike boom, and though the landscape changed for custom bike builders in the 80s and 90s the name still lives on.

This elegantly detailed Ellis-Briggs road frame was probably built in the late '70s or early '80s and is finished in a high-quality enamelled blue paint job with gold lug-lining. The frame is built with Reynolds 531 Professional tubing, the replacement for 531 SL and one of Reynolds' lightest tube sets at the time, resulting in a lightweight frame for the size. We suspect it has been refinished some time ago, but it is still in fine fettle and ready to be shown off at an L'Eroica-style event.

49cm Daccordi Mitico Classic Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£395.00

✓ Original classic frame - built in the 1990s
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Daccordi are a bicycle company with a long history of building bikes but a relatively short one as a brand. Having started in 1937, the business only built frames bearing other companies' names. Focusing on high-end road bikes from the mid-1940s, they made frames for the likes of Viner and Bertoni into the 1980s before building their first eponymous frames in 1981. Daccordi quickly found success with sponsored race teams, and their small-batch, meticulously built frames started to become highly desirable, particularly the high-end Turbo, Mitico, and Griffe models. One of the few Italian thoroughbred constructors still building in Italy today, Daccordi have constantly innovated with titanium, aluminium, and now carbon frames.

Only available from 1991 to 1993, the Mitico was the top-of-the-range frame for the brand during this period, coupling super-light tube sets with lugless construction. Built with Columbus EL and EL OS tubing and fillet brazed, this was a very light and stiff frame made for racing. The unicrown fork was cutting-edge for the time, and in line with its status, the frames were built to order and painted in-house in whatever colourway the customer desired.

Though we suspect this Mitico frame has been refinished, it is in great condition with a bright pillar-box red paint job and contrasting white decals. The unicrown fork, internal cable routing, and quality fillet brazing mark it out as a top-end early '90s bike, built for racing. Though the frame is fairly small, it is super light at just over 2.3 kg for the frame and fork.

Perhaps one of the best-known of all British classic lightweight builders, Hetchins constructed their instantly recognised, elaborately lugged frames for over 60 years. Hyman Hetchins had a gramophone and cycle accessories shop in Tottenham in the 1920s, and by the 1930s, he was producing frames bearing the shop’s name. At this point, a partnership with one of his frame-builders, Jack Denny, was started, and a patent for vibrant rear stays was applied for. The curved shape of the rear stays was said to improve comfort on Britain’s rough roads; it also had the benefit of being easily distinguishable as a Hetchins-built frame, even from a distance. As well as the vibrant (or curly) rear end, Hetchins offered a huge range of frames, often with highly ornamental, heavily modified lugs, all with the option to further customise the final frame. The brand received further coverage with a successful export business into the burgeoning US market, where they are now highly collectible.

Though lacking the ornate lugs or shaped stays that other Hetchins sport, the Italia was a very finely made road frame designed to compete with the best Italian builders of the time. There were two versions of the Italia produced, with some made by a contractor in Italy from Columbus tubes, but the majority made in the Hetchins workshop from Reynolds 531. Built with shaped and filed Prugnat lugs and lightweight tubes, the frames normally featured the Italianate-style seat stay/seat tube junction and a more continental-style fork crown rather than Hetchins' twin-plate design. Like all hand-built, custom-order frames coming out of the Hetchins workshop, though, anything was possible, and there are many small variations and special features even on this supposedly simple frame.

This mid-1970s model Italia was probably built just after the shop moved to Southend, though it still sports the Tottenham address on the decals. Though less showy than some of the intricately lugged frames that were coming out of the workshop at the time, this frame still features carefully cut Prugnat lugs and a fork crown. This is a made-in-the-UK Reynolds 531 version of the Italia, which we believe still has its original paint and decals. Likely designed as a winter or training bike, the frame set has mudguard braze-ons and rear brake routing designed for a centre-pull brake.

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.

Brake Drop - measured using wheels of the relevant size for the frame, as stated in the technical info section.

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.

50.5cm Paratella Vintage Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£395.00

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

Though less well known than fellow Turin-based frame-builder Gios, Paratella has a very highly regarded reputation amongst those in the know. Corrado Paratella was a contemporary of Tulio Campagnolo but left the world of racing to pick up a torch in the 1940s. He focused on making a small number of high-quality bikes rather than expanding his brand and is estimated to have built about 20 bikes per year up until the mid-1980s. Whilst there are only a small number of Paratellas left, each is exquisitely crafted, often with individual details tailored to the customer's requirements.

This lovely blue Paratella frame is built with Reynolds 531 tubing and hand-cut lugs. The twin-plate fork crown, picked out with chrome edges, is a Paratella mainstay. With drilled rear dropouts and a neat brazed-on chain catcher on the chainstay that we have not seen before, this is a unique and highly individual frame.

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!

50cm Specialized HardRock c.1987 Vintage American Steel Mountain Bike Frame Set

£365.00

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

Specialized began in the mid 70s when Mike Sinyard began importing hard to find Italian bike parts into the USA, their first branded product was a touring tyre and their first bike range in 1981 included a touring bike, a road bike and the first production mountain bike, the StumpJumper. Being first to mass produce the MTB proved to be a master stroke and the business grew rapidly as the niche sport came to dominate worldwide cycle sales through the 80s and 90s. As one of the first companies to mass produce and develop carbon fibre as a frame material, Specialized began to dominate the road market too, their successes across road, MTB and Cross racing is unparalleled.

Introduced in 1987, the HardRock was Specialized's foray into the entry level mountain bike market. Having been the first brand to mass produce mountain bikes they went on to lead the race scene with the StumpJumper Team and then offered the more affordable range of RockHopper bikes, and the HardRock used the DNA from these bikes at a lower price point. With frames made to their design and some Specialized branded parts made in Taiwan rather than Japan to keep the cost down, the HardRock sold extremely well and is still a staple of the Specialized MTB line-up now.

In original condition with '80s graphics over the red paint, this 1987 model was made in Taiwan with a custom-gauge steel frame that offers comfort and strength. With a full complement of braze-ons for mudguards and racks, and two sets of bottle cage bosses, this is ideal for repurposing as a touring or commuter bike.
