I'm on the lookout for a mid to late 50s or early 60s Carlton Flyer or an ACS Paramount of similar vintage if you have anything or that ilk? Failing that, any mid 50s-mid 60s highish end frames you may have, as I have an almost full Campag Gran Sport group wanting a frame

The bare frame weighs approx 2300kg (5lbs) and the fork approx 0.7kg (1 1/2lbs) so whilst not light, it's not too bad. The tubes don't look seamed or anything, so seem to be of reasonable quality. I thought maybe Falck tubing or similar non Columbus Italian tube. The lugs are a bit rough, but...

I picked up this old Fiorelli frame in terrible condition off eBay a few weeks ago, it has been badly butchered around the dropouts by a previous owner, but i'm willing to invest in it if it's a worthwhile.project as I have an almost full Gran Sport group set to hang off it. However, whilst it...

I've spent over 2 years building this up but have decided to consolidate my collection and sell a few bikes on ebay instead and get a new frame built by Isen bikes. So this has to go as I need to raise the money. It's been brush enamelled and lug-lined etc by me as I wanted to give it ago, but...

Re: Yes, I did the box lining - I cheated though and used 'frog tape' (The yellow/green painters masking tape you can buy) to mask off the lines before brush painting - worked a treat.

Re: Have been building up the bike and trying to sort out the clearcoat which reacted badly to the enamel, so have had to remove it and re-apply it after touching in the decals etc which took a bit of a battering when cleaning it off. Have had a few glitches-gear cable not long enough, cable...

Re: So, some progress here. AS you can see I decided due to budget issues to forge the chroming and settled on a home paint job which I have done myself (not without issues0 using sign writers brush enamel. Most of the painting has been finished, I did get it to a really nice finish but then...

Re: As bag puss said they can go for very good money. I've seen ones go for close to £1000 on ebay before and for less than £500. I think a lot depends on the originality, paint scheme and what spec it is-ie if it has an asc hub, bluemels noweights and all the original bits and is in the...

HI there, Nice frame. I can't see a price anywhere, how much are you looking for?

Re: Just got this in the post-have decided to use it instead of the front Cyclo changer. Think it is a slightly later version but will suffice until an earlier simplex other comes up- I do like the Cyclo aesthetically and believe it would be easier to use, but don't really want toyspend half a...

Re: Thanks, That's the thing with chroming, it does look good...but the costs are already mounting...so would have to get saving. The Chater Lea adaptor I'm not sure is old stock or a repro. The chap it came from had a number of parts after ending up with their old stock when they closed...

I've wanted an early Carton Flyer for years now as I always loved my Dad's Flam green late 50's Carlton that he bought as a boy a kept for occasional family bike rides when I was a kid. I have a 70's track flyer but when an early one came up pretty cheap early last year I decided to go for it...

Good Lord that is immense! I saw a Team panasonic colours/chrome sbdu frame on ebay about 5 years ago similar to that and didn't buy it, still regretting it....

Hello, I'm looking for an Airlite (or visually similar ie bayliss wiley, powell etc) large flange red anodised front hub, as per title, to built into a wheelset with a rear I already have. Based in London, but willing to pay reasonable postage costs on top of the hub price if neccersary...

Don't suppose you have a 26 1 1/4 constrictor front wheel and/or rim do you? Looking for one to match rear....

Picked up this lovely old track frame recently and was told it was a 1950's JRJ (Bob Jackson). It has similar features, such as are-inforced chainstays at the Bottom BRacket cluster, but Donald at Bob Jackson says it is not one of their frames. SO was hoping for some help I.D.ing it. Ithink it...
