Frame incentive thread: free and cheap combos!
 
Okay, Guess I am Monty Hall here...

In the spirit of N-1 silliness, with each of the four groups sets below, you can have/purchase a frame for the cost of shipping. Various levels of rehab worthiness, but all but one are classics/solid CV. And the Ross is a rare bird.

Groups are
Mirage (no wheels)
Cyclone/Superbe (no wheels. Sorry)
Shimano 6400 Technicolor (ooo...lala)
Shimano 600ex Bronze (great shape)

Frames: Free + shipping (separate from group)
**1986 Schwinn British racing green Voyager. Made from Tenax and rust. 52 cm ST. Started the rehab and found the rust survivable.

**1986 Nishiki Tri A. Tange 1 baybee! 54 ST, 55 TT. In need of medial derustification. Might have Nishiki Stem and bars!

**1983ish Fiorelli Milano San Remo. Aelle goodness. Slight to meh dent on TT, and some derustification needed. 57.5 square (claimed, pending completion)

**1986 Ross Centaur. Straight gauge Chromoly. Would be cool with a...well don’t know really, but cool frame. Very little cleanup and touch up needed. 57-58 I believe.

The better ones
$50 plus shipping
1982 AD SLE (ad nauseum). 57 square. Would be perfect with Bronze 600ex, or even the Cyclone group. Headset included. Eventually I will bite the bullet and build up for sale locally.


$75 plus shipping
1987 Cannondale Team Comp. 47/52 ST; 52 TT...mint green. Tastefully touched up (took a lot of mixing). Headset included. Might have orange tape as well. Will offer until my other projects are done and I build this for sale locally. Just thought you all might have first dibs.

Love the Ross Centaur. Many years ago I built one up for someone to tour on - nice double walled rims, triple crank, bar end shifters, fenders, Celeste bar tape to top it off. A real looker. The only other one I’ve seen came through a shop I worked at several years later, and had been built up in an almost identical fashion, down to the bar tape!

The dropouts on the Nishiki are very nicely brazed and filed!

You're killing me!
Remember I said I had a set of unused Cyclone BB cups? I dug them out when the package arrived and it turns out they are Italian.
So now I have Italian cups and no frame...
I also have most of a full Superbe Pro group waiting for a racy bike. I was possibly going to stick this on a Miyata 912 but I don't know if I'll continue that project.
And I'm trying to get rid of stuff.

For anyone looking for inspiration on that Ross...

Ross Centaur - Broken Arrow Bicycles

Clarification
 
The groups are not free. Some frames are (plus individual shipping) as a bonus to rehoming a group. Group prices include shipping, frames do not. Separately so you are only paying shipping on the frames. Also boxes large enough for a full frame and wheels are non-existent in these parts unless gigantic.

$230 Mirage
$230 Cyclone
$250 Technicolor 6400
$250 600 EX

Hope that helped clear things up.

Ride a Centaur and you could wind up anywhere. Here’s the one I owned before it found a permanent home in Italy.

I got the Centaur at a garage sale for ten bucks. Another ten bucks at a different sale got me some 700c wheels. With that set up, I was pretty pleased. Not the liveliest bike I ever rode but solid and predictable. Just the thing for riding on roads with some questionable surfaces .

AD SLE and 600 EX bronze group are rehomed.

jdawginsc 04-10-24 03:55 AM

Fiorelli in process of rehoming...

jdawginsc 04-12-24 12:05 PM

Updated. Will be looking at building the Cannondale for local rehoming soon.

jdawginsc 04-23-24 07:47 AM

Cannondale off the list. Will sell locally as a built bike.
