Here I have a VITUS Aluminum 979 Dural frame in 58 CM. Too big for me. Frame is in great shape and has no damage.
Im currently riding a 55 CM or even possibly a 56 Cm. Im looking for a Steel frame in trade.

Yes these were made famous by the Great Sean Kelly who rode these frames to many Classic's victories in the 80's. If I remember correctly Robert Millar rode a Vitus in Peugot stickers in the Tour De France too, but he had the Carbon version.
These frames have just enough flex and stiffness.

WTT 1990 EM 10th Anniversary 56cm frame only for same or comparable EM in 60cm or bigger (and 60 may be too small). A few standard chips and scratches as usual.

Like one of these (link)? Available local to me, but too rich for my budget.
No worries, imho you're pretty good at this whole C+V racket, get yer game on, find me a big one, needs to be iconic, 7-11, Molteni, Faema, Motorola or preferably same 10th. It actually needs to be 62-64 at least but could be smaller if it has to.

WTB/WTT 1982 Trek 720/728: My 24" for your 21"
This is a long shot, but here goes:
Is there anyone out there riding a 1982 Trek 720/728 that feels their frame is too small/ doesn't ride it anymore, because...?
I'm looking for a 54cm (21") 1982 Trek 720 frame to buy or exchange for the 24" 1982 Trek 720/728 that is currently in my garage not being ridden nearly enough.
I would ideally do a frame swap with someone that has a similar condition '82 720. Frame has no dents or dings, minor paint blemishes on the stays indicative of use. Overall, I'd say the paint is in very good condition, some peeling of the downtube decal but no fading, some oxidation on the head badge. All in all- gently ridden for 36 year old frame.
I can post pictures for someone that is in a serious and similar like mind. I'd need to break it down to F,F,HS but if you're interested in a full build swap, it is mostly stock with the exception of riser style bars and a more recent SRAM rear derailleur, tires are going to need replacing, but most everything else as I mentioned is original stock.
Might consider other Reynolds 531 tubing Vintage Trek Touring frames in a 21" size.

Anyone interested in a big Lemond Tourmalet? It's a 59mm but measured
c to c. so its more like a 62 with a long top tube. I'd be interested in a comparable bike or frame swap closer to 56-57mm. Fat tire fit would be a plus. I'd also be interested in a trade for a solid 126mm clyde friendly "rando" wheelset 650b or 700c. I'm not particularly attached to the 32h wheel set so if the frame go's they would be available.

70s Schwinn Sports Tourer swap?
I'm looking for a small (19-21") 70s Sports Tourer, Super Sport, or Superior. There's a BIG one (63cm) in fantastic shape on the local CL, but nothing in my size. Anyone have a small Sports Tourer, Super Sport, or Superior they'd want to trade for this big guy if I picked it up?

ISO: a 90’s Trek MTB frame. Tig is fine. True temper tubing great, DB preferred. Don’t need the fork. Head cups would be nice but not necessary. Any colour but no dents. Head tube length must be in the 90-95mm range. An 18” frame would have this.
Have: so many frames to offer, all types! Other stuff as well.
if anyone has one of these which just doesn’t seem to get built up, give it some consideration.

I have a 1978 Fuji Professional 58 st 57 tt that I absolutely Love but sadly it is too big for me. It is all original except for the Wheelset.
Ideally would Love to trade for the same in 56 or 57cm size. But would consider other Framesets or full bikes.

Hi all,
In an attempt to streamline the trade process I've put together an online spreadsheet where members can quickly see all available bikes as well as what members are seeking in trade. The hope is that using this new format, trades will be easier to identify. I am leaving link below and would love to hear what you guys think of this idea. Please feel free to click around and even add a bike or two of your own.
