For Sale Aende lightweight frame

[Rod_Saetan]

I'm just never going to get round to sorting this, so for sale is this 80s (?) Aende frame and fork. Built from 531 with lovely cut away lugs, it's had a respray at some point, it's not that bad condition wise though. I believe the mudguard eyelets are a later addition, the frame came with a threadless BB and I was told the drive-side threads weren't the best but it actually seems Ok to me, I have never built it up though. There is a tiny crack propagating at the slot where the seat clamp is, it could just be the paint, it could be the frame, I'd personally use it as is and keep an eye on it! Comes with a set of H Lloyd decals too.

55 cm top tube, 51 c to c seat tube, 1" headtube, 27.2 post, all threads are BSC.

£75 OBO, collection from SE19 preferred.

That is a bit nice isn't it, GIGFY. Loving the lugs.

I know you like your tt bikes and Aende made some beauties.

Agreed; Aende made some lovely frames and were ridden by some of the top testers back then. This frame has some lovely features.

Never seen the curved slots before and the seat lug is lovely.

I see it has a chainstay bridge...maybe Pongo was getting a bit old school in his later years lol.

Agree with you saying Aende made lovely TT bikes, mine was a lo pro with equal 700c front and rear wheels
