Brodie Rodie?

anyone know anything about these just won one on evilbay looks nice but very badly listed only ones i can see searching around the net are carbon ones this looks to be steel.

looks really nice, but is that seat post stuck?

yeah apparently he couldnt move it by hand but ive not been beaten by a post yet!

lol I was bidding against you on that. I bottled it at £70 as the seller was rubbish with details.

AFAIK that particular Rodie is of 1996 vintage and features Tange Ultimate tubeset. Have you taken delivery of it yet? I was concerned that there may be seatpost 'issues' and also couldn't see if there was a missing braze on for the seat clamp. Maybe it needs a collar?

If all goes wrong you can sell it on to me

picked it up today it looks really nice syncros stem and dura ace caliper. the seatpost needs a clamp there isnt any remains of a braze on for a bolt so i think its std. The post is stuck but not badly no-one has tried to remove it so i hope it will come out easily ive dealt with worse. The drop out are Henry james who supplied to brodie at the time so i think i got a real bargain it will be built up with quality mid 90's parts.

Nice work, wish I put a higher bid in now

I really like the geometry of that frame. I'd already built it up in my mind so do it justice!

Good image to work from here:

Does indeed show off the CNC seat collar. Really nice frame...

yep thats the one! excited about this now it came with some aluminium forks that are 5 peice cant see what make they are might have to find some tange for it.

First Flight have some Henry James/ Waterford Forks in their used stock at the moment, bit of a respray and they would look perfect on it! although they would cost as much as the frame itself ($145 before shipping!)

wow thats a bit pricey! wonder if hes open to offers!

well seatpost came out with a bit of wd40 al stripped down and ready to get blasted now to choose a colour!
