I have a 70's model (not sure what year exactly) Raleigh Grand Prix. Bike is missing wheels (the ones in the photo are just place holders for the photo) and a seat. It's a 60cm and way too big for me. I'm in the Baltimore area and willing to ship. I'm looking for something in the 54-56cm range if anyone has something available. I have more pictures and details for anyone interested.

In addition to my PX-10 mentioned above, I'd offer up this bike (or frame) as a trade for a nice celeste or electric rose Bianchi (54-57cm).
This one is a 59cm according to Bianchi sizing. That's center crank to seat tube top. TT is 57 and some millimeters.

Additional photos in Vegaman's thread.

Frame and fork only. No dents or dings. More pics at links in the C & V for sale thread.

Looking for a Cannondale ST or Trek touring with canti bosses, clean paint, frame/fork in 58cm would be great.

CIOCC 62cm seat tube, 58cm top tube, 6.27 lbs frame and fork


Ironman Expert - 50cm - SOLD

Lemond Nevada City - 52cm Reynolds 853 SOLD

Holdsworth Cyclone - traded to Henry III for his Cannondale Black Lightning

Would like to trade this too large frame and fork '86Trek 850 size 22" for a 17-19" frame and fork. I'm located in central Florida.

Minty (and I mean really nice) 54cm 1989 Centurion Ironman Expert. Blue "Smoke on the Water" smoked fade to white.
I know it is mint, as is the entire bike. However, I'm 95.731% sure that I cannot ride it, having been down that road, literally and figuratively.

I'd like a 56cm that is not an '86 red/white model in the same condition, or we can talk about it.
I'm open to frame/fork for frame/fork, or frame/fork/headset for frame/fork/headset, or bike/bike.
"Open" does not mean "have to." I can get a longer stem and suffer through on metrics or less.

Just putting it out there. I have a white Miche Primato seatpost and a white/grey saddle if I keep it.

I have many other photos. Looking to trade up...both size, similar range of tubing and condition and can make up the difference if necessary.

Looking for an upright 26" wheel frame for my 62 year old father. He is 6' and a 21"+ mtb frame with less aggressive upright flat bar geometry would be ideal.

I am looking for a road 60cm c-c frame with a shorter top tube...58 or less. I want to replace my super course frame so something 531 would be great. Threading is flexible.
Well well, think you have what I need and I have what you want. Check out the 22" 850 I posted.

socal 62cm nishiki international

Socal: Have a 1981-ish nishiki international good for somebody like 6'2" maybe 6'4". Original grey color, maybe 62cm, I forget how the chart goes. Would trade for something extra tiny to medium.

Edited: Actually its not as big as I thought. Feels more like a 60cm. Still too big for me however. Pic added.

I have an 88 or 89 alloy Trek 1000 frame/fork/headset for trade in a 54 cm. It's a bit scratched up, but nothing else is wrong with it. Looking for something in a 58 cm. Looking for a good velo cheapo project. If interested, for the right trade I can include most of the groupset (Suntour Edge w/ Ovaltech rings - Accushift 7 speed: crankset/chainrings/bb, shifters, RD). I no longer have the cockpit or wheels though, FYI. I'll edit to add a picture later.

Blue frame with white decals with a bit of pink accenting on them.

Located in Columbia, SC. Traveling up to Baltimore, MD and surrounding areas for the holidays in a few weeks.

That bike is smoking hot but I don't have a 60 cm to swap, .

Hey can't you like bend it or something and make it into a 60 cm like you did to that fork in your 650b conversion,

Have this frameset: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vi...set-again.html
Full disclosure: evidently, when originally built, the dt shifter posts were made incorrectly. Suitable for friction shifters, or dt cable stops, or indexed dt shifter that register off the square dt boss. DT indexed shifters that register off the flats on the post will not function correctly with some file work to put a new set of flats in the correct orientation.
I'd certainly consider trading it for something in my size; 58-60cm. Italian preferably, suitable for non-aero brake cable routing. Wild paint colors a plus.

Sloar, how about an '89 Schwinn Tempo? Nice shape, Columbus Tenax SL, no dents or rust, metallic gray, 22" size, everything on that 760 will fit right on it without any problems.

I have a shorter stem coming, the seat height i can deal with, but the reach is a tad long. If it still doesn't work for me I'll let you know. Thanks, in the meantime if you get time send me some pics/

I have a hunter green Schwinn Cimarron LE with cantilever front and rear. Driver train is stock Deerhead, XT and Suntour XC hubs, pedals. Only thing I changed were the ugly grampa riser bars for Origin8 Space bars with some ESI silicone grips and new cables and housings. The saddle is a knock off Regal but nicely padded. Frame is 17".

Looking for a higher end hybrid frame in the 15-16" size or a road/touring frame that can take 40mm tires. I'm pretty open for anything that can take a bigger 700 tire or even a 29er frame. My Cannondale hybrid is ready to be taken into the back 40 and put down.

I have a couple of road bike framesets I'd like to trade: a 57cm Peugeot PY10FC and a 53cm Fuji Design Series. Frame and fork only for both bikes.



EDIT: both frames have found a new home!

I no longer have this Bianchi Eros available. It's a 56cm. Paint has been replaced with a very reflective finish. Bottom bracket is not included, but fork and headset are. It has a racy geometry but isn't as light as a high end frame.
