VINTAGE FRAMESETS
(126mm rear, limited to 5-7Spd unless you spread the frame)
49cmST 50cm TT B Carre with bits $400CAD/$320 USD)
Apparently Bernard Carre's workshop built many of the Peugeot professional team bikes. They are quite sought after.
- 126mm spacing 5/6/7Spd
Restored 70s Reynolds 531 53cmST $500CAD/$400 USD
This was a classic regional frame stickered "Clarins" (which it seems was a bike shop in Toulon, France). Since it was a little far gone looks-wise, I asked Noah Rosen of Velocolour in Toronto to spruce it up a bit. What a great job he did.
THIS is what it looked like pre-restoration (which might have been a mistake, but what's done is done.)

56cm ST "Evasion" AMR Aero7 tubing repaint $350 ($280 USD)
Another interesting item. This frame is made of Aero 7 Tubes Camus which was a 2nd tier French tube maker (but only in terms of it's profile. These are excellent tubes) The frame has weird ovalized aerodynamic tubing.

56STX56TT early Gios Torino $2000
This frame is unlike any we 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 seems very well made, with investment cast Campagnolo dropouts, and the colour is right, Also, it came with excellent top of the line Campagnolo Nuovo Record components. Why would anyone invest in Campy NR on a counterfeit frame?
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?
I'll leave the original smooth running Nuovo Record headset and bottom bracket installed - why mess with a good thing? but if you just want the bare frame, let me know and I can remove those 2 bits and adjust the price.
A true classic, the original lightweight aluminum frame, the Vitus 979. If it was good enough for famous pro sprinter Sean Kelly, it's good enough for you.
68mm Bottom Bracket shell (English), 126mm rear dropout spacing) |

130mm spaced rear dropouts (for modern components 8S+)
52STX54TT Tommasini Prestige Columbus SL $500CAD
A classic with Columbus SL tubing, the correct AIR fork. Very good condition. Italian bottom bracket shell

54cm(ctt)STX54cm(ctc)TT Silver Alan $300CAD/$240 USD
Another classic, one of the earliest aluminum frames.

Vintage ALAN 56cmST c-c 56cmTT $300CAD/$240 USD
This would make a great fixie (with tensioner). Another classic. An original ALAN lugged aluminum frame. 130mm spaced rear dropouts for 8S+ systems.

58ST x58TT c-c Colnago 2nd Gen Master $650
A most elegant Colnago 2nd Gen Master. Steel frame, but as light as carbon. The frame is the proprietary fluted Gilco Columbus tubing.
eff ST c-c 58cm 22 3/4””;eff TT c-c 58cm 22 3/4s”; to the very top of the seattube is 61cm.
This might have been repainted (as it lacks some decals you would expect from a factory issued frame). I cannot say for certain. But from the frame features (and the iconic Gilco fluted tubing) it is definitely Colnago.
Condition: 7/10 Good. a fair degree of signs of use (mine) but no dents or rust. You might repaint it but I was happily riding it as is. Even with a few paint chips this black on white paint scheme is very handsome.
Frame: $650
I have a carbon Time fork (with carbon steerer) that fits this frame. $200.

59x57(c-c) Diamant (Reynolds 531) $250/$200 USD

This German beauty is a little worn, but still very interesting.
Could be built up and ridden as is or is a good candidate for restoration.

60x58(c-c) Specialized Allez steel $400CAD/$300USD incl HS and BB
Not as famous as it should be. This versatile all-rounder was designed by noted custom frame builder Mark DiNucci when he was starting out as a young guy at Specialized.
Includes good condition headset and bottom bracket. Crazy lightweight (2.9kg including HS and BB)
|
59x58(c-c) Cadex 980-C early carbon (frameset only) $250/$200 USD
A pretty cool curiosity. Before Giant was Giant they were Cadex. This is an early carbon model with aluminum lugs.
Some corrosion around the lugs. That's just the way it is. Doesn't affect the ride. Frame only (I was going to finish building this up but got distracted.)

If 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. |

Interesting frame. Never seen one with these extended Seat and Headtubes. I expect the idea was to give a big frame rigidity.
Needs refinishing (at least) but in Columbus EL tubing, it's probably worth it. |
