If you're only 1cm away from perfect, you might use a classic 90 degree stem before you start showing all that extra quill on the Technomic.

A matter of preference but an old Nitto Dynamic II might fit the bill here.

I have a 64 cm Univega Nuovo Sport frame either a 1978 or 1982, fork and stem shifters that is too big for me. I would like to trade for a Univega 60 cm or 61 cm or any comparable frame 60 cm to 61 cm. Thanks!

I have a Ernie Clements Falcon frame that is 3” to 4” too big for me.


The frame is for a“sport tour” bike not a racer; plane guage tubes, comfortable angles and a lamp boss;
The seat tube and head tube are at 74 degrees to the top tube.
Tube lengths center to center are:
Seat tube 59cm-23”
top tube 56cm-22”

chain stay 45cm-173/4”
wheelbase 105cm- 41”


front and rear fender eyes, cable guides at bottom bracket, shift lever peg under the down tube, cable stop on chain tube, an a very English lamp boss on the forks.


The head set shouldbe usable but the bottom bracket is not.

Nice one @Samtab what are you looking to trade ?

1985 Trek 770 in pink. It's actually very beautiful but too big for me at 61cm. The frame was Trek's top racing bike that year and is Reynolds 531. I am looking to trade it for a 56-58 lugged steel frame of equal or better quality from the 80's or so.. but will also consider a recumbent frame (preference swb but will consider all types). Also will trade towards a Bike Friday, Swift folder or Brompton frame

Looking to swap my wife's 1993 size 54.5 cm Cannondale R2000 2.8 frame for another 2.8 frame (any model, as long as it's a road race version) in 52 cm (if 1994-1996) or 53 cm (if 1992-1993). I just need the frame, not the fork. Hers' is the 1993 version, the top-of-the line racing bike that year, in Raceberry fizz-fade to Rocket Silver paint scheme. No dents or damage, but plenty of scratches and scrapes. I'll take photos if you might be interested.

She loves the bike but it's just a bit too big, and I'd like to do a total swap so she has essentially the same bike but in a size that fits. Thanks.

Anybody? Bueller? If you wish your San Rensho Allez were a 58 instead of a 56, drop me a line!

I have a Lemond Ti frameset. The fork is aluminum. It's fast as all get-out. It's a 53 or 54 cm, and I'd be willing to trade for something similar that's just a bit larger, like around 56 or 57 cm. Rear spacing is 130 mm.

Pictures of the bike are in this thread.



EDIT: I'll hold onto this for a while. I need to put some miles on it before I decide.

Have finally decided after many hours in the saddle that my 1985 Strawberry Racing Cycles is too small for me at 54cm x 54cm c-t-c square. Custom made by Andy Newlands in Portland out of Reynolds tubing. Beautiful lug-work. Comes with a Stronglight A9 headset and White Industries titanium bottom bracket with new $80 bearings and an adjustable chain line. Builds into a 19lb bike.

Looking to trade for something comparable, ideally with a 58cm c-t-c seat tube and 56cm c-t-c top tube.

I have an early 90's Basso Ascot in a size 50cm that I'd like to trade for something comparable in a 52/53cm. This bike is stunning. It's a true show piece. I'd be willing to either trade just the frame or the complete bike. It is equipped with rare Campagnolo Choral finish components, Fir wheels and Campagnolo hubs. It's just a bit small for me.

1986 Miyata Pro 60 cm https://www.flickr.com/photos/143801...posted-public/ Looking for something in the 54-56 cm range. Any comparable 80s steel would suit just fine. Can post more photos upon request. Frame does have a couple paint nicks here and there and some peeling decals, but other than that it is in good condition

Just gonna put feelers out for a possible trade on my recent Bianchi Stelvio find. It looks MUCH better than the picture already. As in amazing transformation. It does have it's faults, as it got less than stellar care, but the paint promises to be shiny and almost wet looking. It does have a few scrapes and nicks, but no dents. Just looking for a trade before I install the inevitable Technomic that will happen in the next few days. I wanted to ride it, but it's a 58 and at almost 50 I am getting too old for race position. That extra 2 cm makes the difference I guess. I need a 60cm with a 58.5 +/- top tube.

Hoping for something Italian at the same level or only slightly under. Hopefully a Bianchi, and I will trade in a second if it's Celeste and made in Italy. Kind of always wanted a Celeste Bianchi and I promise not to go Celeste crazy on it. Wrap, saddle, tires, etc. I've honestly got enough 531 bikes. It seems at this point nearly every nicer bike I have is 531 of some sort. Plain gauge, double butted, Nervex lugs. I've got all the major food groups. Keep in mind this is as found, and it's had a deep cleaning and will soon get a polish. Test sections look wet and glossy.,,,,BD

As for this frame, it's Bianchi Special tubing by Columbus. Frame and fork.



If nothing pops up in a few days I will continue the build and post more pictures of the finished product.

EDIT: current pic, an almost unbelievable difference.... IMHO anyway..

Way too small! I regret my 6' 3" at this moment. Beautiful bike.

hello all!
I have an 80's model lemans centurion yellow/white in a 54cm, it have a few scuff nothing to bad.

I'm looking for something 50-52 preferably something aluminum, I'm willing to throw in cash if needed let me know!

Bikedued

Have another 58cm, this time a Vitus 979 aluminum, in black anodized and silver. I am going to do a little cleaning before posting pictures. It's not bad, just has a few crusty dirt spots stuck on it. Once it's cleaned I will take a few pictures. The decals are kind of peeled off, but they're readily available aftermarket. If you're looking for a weight weenie builder, this is a good start. No scratches on the anodized portions, but the front brake cable housing stop was dented in a little. It isn't super noticeable with housing in it. I have straightened it enough to easily accept brake housing.

Looking for anything steel in Reynolds, Columbus, etc. French, English, Italian, even a Trek would do, hint hint.,,,,BD

Trade must be a larger 59-61.... I keep finding frames that are just under my size range.

easyupbug 

BD, rescued a 60 c/c ST Simoncini Special Professional with sad paint and decals but no dents and the chrome fork, seat, and chain stays look nice. Came with Neuvo Record and some Ofmega. My only experience with Al tubing was a Raleigh (called a 500 maybe?) that rattled a filling loose in the first few miles, but I understand 979s ride nice.

Bikedued

Pictures please! definitely would be interested, especially since the 58cm Stelvio I picked up recently is too small. The Italian components from it would go much better on that, than any other frames in my garage. It rides nicely and all that, but I want something that doesn't need a technomic to fit me. Send a PM with some pictures if you would. I will try to do the same tomorrow, once I spend a little time cleaning the Vitus. Still haven't gotten around to it yet.,,,,BD

I imagine a 60 would hide enough of the Technomic to look "normal" at the very least? That way I wouldn't have to give up my special tricolore Benotto I just applied a day or two ago.

Great idea, sadly I live somewhere where I can't trade a frame. I have a basketball player frame, only need some parts from it. Like the vertical bolt system from Mafac Racer brakes. Payed 25 dollars for the whole bike. Framesize 64cm seattube.

Comes with the stem,seatpost, mudcovers, crankset without the pedals, the wheels...

I have a 1995 Trek 930 frame and fork that is too sadly small for me.

Frame is True Temper OX with TIG welded joints with a 18" seat tube c-c, 22" top tube c-c. You can see the complete specs at Trek, Fisher, Klein, Lemond bike catalogs, bicycle brochures

I had the complete original bike and still have most of the parts, but took it apart since I thought the frame was the nicest piece. It is very clean with a great green-purple fade paint job, with just a few nicks here and there.

I'd like to trade it for something bigger to build up. I usually ride a 58 cm road bike, so I'd want something at least 20" mountain or 22" for road.

Email if you'd like pictures. Posted also on Boston Craigslist: 1995 Trek 930 frame for trade or best offer

Got a Record Ace in semi (not really) crusty condition (i think its 25" not exactly sure) but PM me for pics, would prefer the same frame in a smaller size )
All original (no repaint or re-decalled or anything) so its got a bit of wear but looks good for restoration but is by all means more than rideable in the condition that it is

Bike has been sold.

I have this 1987 Trek 520 Cirrus, 22.5" frame. I need more like a 21". Love the bike, so another one of these in the right size would be great, or I'd consider other options. Must have canti brakes, at least 2 bottle cage mounts, and rear rack bosses.

Your link didn't work. I think I will hold out for something older and closer (I'm in the midwest). Looks like a great deal though; thanks for posting.

This is a 58cm 1985 Centurion Ironman.


First year for the Ironman
Tange 1 tubing








Looking to trade the frame and fork for something in the 54-56cm size. I'm open to almost anything as long as it is an equivalent bike.

bici_mania

I am looking for two frames, I need a 54cm and a 55 or a 56cm. My preference is steel but aluminum is acceptable.
