1950s Follis berceau for trade.
53cm to top of seat tube. 54 1/2cm theoretical top tube.
For the restoration story look here.
Looking for frameset or project bike 59 to 62 cm center to center. Would really prefer something of similar vintage (1950s to early 1960s) but the chances of finding that may be slim so send me a PM. Let me know what you have.
Thanks,
Brent

@malcala622, are you sure that frame won’t fit you? Have you tried a 56?

edit: Frame is NLA
I have a 53cm Vitus 979 frame and fork and am looking to trade it for another Vitus 979 but in 56cm. Will consider some other comparable frame with a 55.5-56 cm top tube.
Willing to ship. Located in SoCal.

This tiny little Windsor Carrera Sport frame definitely won't fit me. It's a cool looking frame, so I held on to it hoping for an opportunity to build it up for someone with shorter legs than my own. Hasn't happened though, so I'm looking to pass it along. Frankly, I'm not looking for anything in particular at the moment - just thought I'd offer this up in trade for "something interesting" in a 59/60/61-ish size. Whatchagot?
Windsor frames were built in Mexico. Not sure how many models - this is not the famous/infamous Cinelli knockoff.

Motobecane Grand Touring, 57cm center-to-center.
Free to anyone in the SF Bay Area who can pickup.
I've got the bent fork as well. And a RD I can throw in.
Pretty sure it takes English threads. The pedals were English, iirc.

WTT 48cm 1989Trek 660 frame or whole bike for a comparable 52cm
Hey Y'all,
I found a great Trek 660 that I picked up but 48cm is unfortunately too small for me so if that would fit anyone I would be williing to trade just the frame or potentially the whole bike. It is a true temper frame with a nice short geometry. If anyone is interested in a trade or some sort I would entertain one. I would like to find something comparable. Short racing geometry, lugged steel preferable. If someone wants to trade a full bike I would want something with comparable components or if its campagnolo- could be of slightly lesser quality.
If only I felt more comfortable on a 48, I would be holding onto this.

Hi jimijames. I have been putting together a 1978? Competition and was trying to convince myself that I could ride it even though I prefer a 60cm seat tube. It is a 58cm ST. Turns out though, the top tube is 56cm which I definitely would be scrunched up on. Anyway have a look at this photo and PM me if you are interested. No rust but definitely has patina (scratches and wear marks). I am in Ontario.

Pedal to the medal
Just curious, are people still using the spreadsheet at the beginning of this thread? I have a few frames I'm seeking to trade.

Anybody have a 56-57cm square frameset they'd trade for a 52cm ST, 55.8cm TT Trek 660 with carbon fork? It’s pretty dope. Nice powder coat, internal top tube cable routing, fits at least 28s.

What size frame do you ride? I'm very interested in the Bridgestone, but I'm a long time lurker and can't send a PM.

Hi, I am looking for a BOTTECCHIA in 51-54...I have this bare frame as trade, Paint is nice no visible damage to the frame. The chrome on the fork is nice with a bit of surface rust the should clean up well.
The frame no longer has BB crank or HS.
Best, Ben
