VINTAGE FRAMESETS
(126mm rear, limited to 5-7Spd unless you spread the frame)
54cmST X 56cmTT(ctc) "Evasion" AMR Aero7 tubing repaint $350 ($280 USD)
56STX56TT early Gios Torino $300 CAD
This frame is unlike any I have seen. For years I could not match it to any Gios model that I could find, and so was worried it was a counterfeit. But it seemed very well made, with expensive cast Campagnolo dropouts. Also, it came with excellent top of the line Campagnolo Nuovo Record components. Why would anyone invest in Campy NR on a counterfeit frame? And the Giuos colour is right,
Finally, I sent photos off to Gios Torino in italy and got this reply (from it appears Alfredo Gios himself, one of the founders): "Dear Sir, The frame seems original but it's one of the first racing frame we made 44 years go (nearly half century!!!). AG
How Cool is THAT?
At this time I belive the headset has been removed however.
130mm spaced rear dropouts (for modern components 8S+)
54STx56TT Vitus 760 carbon frameset + HS, BB and SP $450 CAD
|
This is a pretty cool classic French frameset. (1995)
54ST ctc x 56TT Carbon tubes, aluminum lugs and fork. very good condition. includes headset, bottom bracket and seatpost (which you want because as a French threaded frame, these would be very hard to find otherwise.) wheels are for demonstration purposes only. Not included. |
62x60 (c-c) Pinarello $400/$320 USDIf this was in very good shape it would be worth $600 or more. But it's a little tattered. (some moron covered all the tubes with sticky plastic and removing it took forever and took some small bits of paint off)
Would be ideal for a Pinarello restoration. But is also perfectly ridable now. I was going to build it up myself, but I am too backed up. 126mm spacing currently. It could be spread for 9-11S systems, but that seems a bit of a shame. Would be Eroica ready.

Bianchi in EL 62effSTx59effTT 2.9kg with BB $500 CAD
Interesting frame. 62cm ctc/63ctt/65ctvt (to very top of seat tube)
This style (an XL frame but with the dropped toptube and so extended seattube and headtube) is apparently called "Freuler" geometry after Swiss pro Urs Freuler for whom Colnago created this style). The result is a large frame that is also stiffer. Could stand to be refinished though I have it built up and have been happily riding it. But in Columbus EL tubing, it's probably worth it. |
60cmc-c ST Pottie in Reynolds 753 $500CAD Frameset only |
ST (to SP insert) 63cmxTT 58 Pottie in Columbus $350 CAD |
This frame was made by French regional artisan framebuilder Claude Pottie (as is one other I have). Pottie was similar to Mike Barry of Mariposa and Mike Mulholland of Cyclops - the Go To guy for local riders needing an excellent frame. This just as the major brands were coming to dominate the market.
This beautiful frame, with its garish period-correct paint job is a rare Reynolds 753 build, Builders had to prove their skill to Reynolds by submitting a test frame for testing, before they were certified and allowed to buy 753 tubing. It was that delicate. |
Again, built in northeastern France by regional frame builder Claude Pottie (he went back into commercial plumbing because frame building didn't pay). some fine details.
Columbus tubing. there is a bit of chrome flaking on... the chain stay I think it is.
frame only at this point (it's been parted down.) |
