50STX56TT Norco Grand Touring $200 CAD
Not fancy, but very practical. A real touring bike CroMoly steel frame, brazeons for racks and panniers, triple chain ring for climbing. nice long stretched out top tube for comfort, cantilever brakes (lots of clearance for fenders). A nice little all-rounder. (P.S. the pink bar tape is going.)
54cmST(ctc)x56cmTT(ctc) Lapierre Full Reynolds 531 with Simplex $850CAD/$680 USD
Lapierre might not be well known in North America, but they have been leaders in the French bike industry for 60 years.
Behind Peugeot (which made a lot of crap along with a lot of really really great bikes - see below) Lapierre has probably been #2 in France. Actually they are probably now #1 as they periodically sponsor a Tour de France team. Peugeot it seems did have a carbon bike, but they are essentially a non-entity in the bike world these days. Lapierre rolls on. |
56cm(ctc) Raleigh Competition in Reynolds 531 $650CAD/$510 USD
Very very good condition tubing 56cm seat tube (c-c) 55cm tt (competition geometry)
Campagnolo dropouts Matching Raleigh-branded Huret components (I am reluctant to offer this as frame only as it seems a shame to think about parting these matching components. if you need a 56cm Frame only, get in touch.) Wheels with Atom hubs |
57cm (c-c) Colner (export Colnago) with NR $850CAD/$680 USD
This is a cool bike, with an interesting back story. Apparently, in order to not mess with their distribution rights, Colnago branded the bikes they exported to Switzerland "Colner" (from COLNago ERnesto -get it?) But everything on this frame screams COLNAGO.

Pinarello "Treviso" 57x57cm c-c with Campy Super Record $1500CAD/$1,200 USD
This classic Pinarello (57x57 c-c) is in very good condition classic with it's original parts needs a good home. Only the decals are shedding a bit - this apparently was a classic Pinarello "feature" due to their not clear coating their frames at the time. But it is typical of the genre. All vintage Campagnolo Record except the brake calipers (Galli) and levers (Aero Compe). It was common to mix parts in those days based on preferences and budget. There is a spot of rust in the pantograph on the fork crowns. N.B currently has tubulars (which have their merits.) are Galli.
You will be amazed at how well it rides. |
58cm (?-? tbc) Puch (Austria) "Vent Noir" Reynolds 531 with black Dura Ace/Crane NOS?? $2500CAD/$2,000 USD
58cm 70s or early 80s Puch (Austrian) "Vent Noir" with full Reynolds 531 with early black Dura Ace/Crane
This museum condition 531 classic came out of someone's closet and if has ever even been ridden around the block, that would be very hard to discern. So I'll go with "Seems NOS". The unusual and elegant matte finish is called Black Chrome. |
59cm (c-c) French Artisan built, Eroica Ready with Campagnolo Nuovo Record $1500CAD/$1200USD
This is an interesting one. I got it from a fellow in Grenoble who said it had been his father's bike when he was a mechanic for a team around Paris. No brand name on it so I assume he, like most riders in that day (this is probably the early 70s?) just got a frame built at the local bike shop. He didn't know the tube material but thought it was Reynolds. The rest of the bits are amazing and in amazing , nearly new condition. Campagnolo Nuovo Record all round.

A classic. Columbus tubing. full Nuovo Record build.
