SOLD Used Brouwer multishaped 'gilco-style' steel tubing frame and forks. 53cm CTC seat tube and 53.5cm CTC top tube. A little-known small-scale dutch builder but it is a very high quality race frame. I refurbished this, respray by Vaz and the Brouwer transfers were designed to mimic the Brouwer cutout in the bottom bracket shell top. I've put a Columbus SL sticker on it but I don't know what tubing it is -- it could be Columbus but it could be Oria. It's different from Colnago Gilco in that it has five flutes rather than a Master's four. It is an absolutely splendid looking frame and the flutes on the top, down and seat tube look fantastic. I'd keep it if it wasn't too big for me. I've included a pic to show what it looks like built up but the sale is for the frame and forks only, no headset or any other bits. Has an 130mm rear end, double water bosses, down tube gear lever bosses, through top tube rear brake cable, brazed on front mech hanger, number pip, under bottom bracket brazed on guides and horizontal drop outs. Takes english bottom bracket and 26.8 seatpin, which you'll have to cut down because of the start of the fluting in the seat tube. Works well with a smaller seatpin and a shim. £150 would prefer collection or meeting up -- I'm in West Sussex -- but would post if required with postage cost to be confirmed.

Wow that's absolutely stunning.

Could be a candidate to put my Mavic SSC parts on. Any idea what year it's from?
