'80s road frame & forks 60cm, Reynolds tubing or WHY?

[Dead Rats]

I've accumulated enough parts to put together another road bike, something reasonably nice in fact.

Looking for a 1980s frame & 1" fork in very nice condition, ideally supplied with a decent quality headset (though this is not necessary).

Around 60cm in the seat tube please, suitable for 14 speed drivetrain and an English BB.

Perhaps 531 or 653 tubing, but certainly with reasonably close clearances as I plan to fit my 49mm drop spare dual pivot brakes

it's nice jm... what year is it do you know? does it have the offset drop-outs I've read about? what's the rear OLD?

 

[jm]

It is 126mm at the rear.I don't know exactly what year but it came with a full 600 set with std cables not aero.Frame no is 722565 and it isn't an offset rear end.jm.

Hi I don't know if you have found a suitable frame yet? I have got an Ellis Briggs Favori Frame 23.5" currently built up as a bike but I intend to strip it. My pics are too big I will take some more tomorrow and upload them.

Hi I have taken some small pics which I am going to upload.
