FS: Austro Daimler frame, Campagnolo wheelset
Cleaning out the garage for an upcoming move.
First up an AD frame. This frame set is 56cm square, made from Reynolds 531 tubing, and has nice forged dropouts. The frame is 56cm square, meaning the top tube an seat tube are the same length. Seat post size is 27.2, and the rear spacing is roughly 120mm. Frame is straight and sound, but has original paint that has lots and lots of nicks and scratches. Complete with BB and headset, and even comes with bars and a stem if you want them.
Now reduced to $80, but am still open to offers.... especially if you're local. The frame is in CA, so shipping gets pretty high once it goes past the Mississippi. I plan on getting a box and weighing it out this weekend, so I can get a reasonable shipping estimate for interested parties.
Next up, a nice clean, used set of Campy wheels. Clinchers, with smooth 9/10/11 speed hubs. No skewers, though. $120 plus shipping. $$$SPF$$$

Crikey that was fast. I didn’t even have time to publicly lament that I have no room for another project. I’d say GLWS, but instead, I hope the sales go smoothly!

Yes, and "I don't know". The BB and HS were on the frame when I got my hands on it, so probably original to the bike/frame. I can measure the stem, but one is included as well (as are a set of bars, see pic).

I did some reading on this. It looks as if the threading could be BSC, French, Swiss, or even perhaps Italian. Wow.
Well since it has a BB and HS, this really isn't an issue with this frame.

Some info on the SLE. The headset is guaranteed to be Austrian thread. The only two sources for an Austrian headset are the Puch Maxi moped headsets (sold new by some obscure website) and other old AD's or Puch's. You'll want to repack with loose bearings as the cups are thin and are easily "Brinelled". They do not interchange with any other standard. Milling is not an option. The headtube is 22.0mm, so it's French stems only. The BB is most likely to be English. You can tell for sure if the lockring knurling is cross-hatched. If not, then it's French or Swiss. Only applies to the original Nervar BB. This frame requires clamp-on cable guides. Tubing is standard. Colour is "Salzburg Blue".

Frame is now off the market. When getting ready to ship it, I noticed that the chain stays were flattened by a previous owner's kick stand. if you still want it after that disclosure, drop me a line and we can talk...... but I doubt it'll be worth the price of shipping. If you're local, you can come pick it up for free.

I'm still lurking, but if you're looking for the AD frame it is long gone.

Hello,
No not the AD frame, But thanks for the reply.
I am new to this forum so it would not let me contact you directly yet.
Wile doing some research into Iverson Bicycles I found a thread that someone stated that you may have worked at the Iverson Factory...
I dont know if they were factual or joking... I am looking for info on the factory.
Thanks,
Arron.

Iverson? Nope. I spent a few weeks one high school summer on the assembly line at the Campania warehouse in Van Nuys CA. Lasted a few weeks, quit, spent a week on the beach, and then went back to school.

Interesting. I was a 16 year old boy, on the assembly line for a few weeks one summer in the mid 70's. I remember more about the girls I met afterward on Carpenteria Beach than I do about my time on the line.

1970's
What a great time to be a kid....
I first visited California in late 1979 as a teen.. Flew from NYC to LAX... We rented a car and drove from LA to San Francisco and back along the PCH.... OMG the people we met along the way....
I recently repeated the same trip... Amazing how it has changed....
I will forever remember that first trip.....
The the Mamas and the Papas were so correct "California Dreamin"
