I have a 21" Bianchi road bike, I think that is about 54cm. I am going to trade the bike for food very soon unless someone wants to swap a 61cm frame for it's frame. The frame on the bike says it is Tange tubing, it is a bike with a 7-speed rear freewheel and shifters on the front downtube, so I am guessiing it is about 30 years old. It is will used but fully functional. To make things easy I would also just trade complete bikes.

62 cm 1990 Bridgestone RB-2

I picked up a tallest size 62 cm 1990 Bridgestone RB-2 yesterday. This is the tig welded RB-T prediscessor that takes 35mm tires. I'd be interested in trying out a smaller size of the same model.

Have this small Litespeed Tachyon tri frame - 49cm per the catalog. Would trade for a 53-54 cm Super Vitus frame, an Olmo or a Gitane Gran Tour (1983-1985 years) frame. Or .... The whole Litespeed is also listed in the for sale thread.

58cm PX-10 for larger (frame)

Looking to swap my 58cm ’72 blue Peugeot PX-10 frame for a 60cm or 62cm frame- ideally the same year & color. I absolutely love this bike, but age and neck issues are calling for higher bars and a bit more of an upright riding position, and my french-addicted aesthetic sensibility deters me from just getting a taller (ie Technomic) stem. Frame is in good shape, though a fair amount of ‘patina’ (paint-chips and rust held at bay with clear nail polish). Chrome is pretty good. Unmolested Simplex RD hanger. Only mods are the drop-out eyelets have been tapped for M6 bolts and the rear triangle spread to 126mm. The down-tube stop for clamp-on shifters has fallen off- there’s a small dab of JB Weld where the stop was to prevent the shifters from sliding down. Detail photos, etc. on request.

Hi all, I've got a 1986 Specialized Allez SE that's 54cm ctc. I believe that this is the Jim Merz redesigned Allez due to the paint scheme. I would like to trade it for a 50cm or smaller Allez. Ideally, I would like the exact same year and color, but I wouldn't mind if you've got something older. The frame has surface rust (shifter bosses, chainstays, dropouts) and paint chips, and the headset has become brinelled. Otherwise, aside from the minor cosmetic issues the frame is solid. Hit me up if you have an Allez that you'd like to part with. Message me if you need more photos or info. Thanks.

Yep, looks like a Merz SE, never seen one in 50cm, too bad the HS got crapped out. GLWT

I would be in despite not normally doing tig or unibrow and actually avoiding them like the plague. Alas, no RB-any but am strangely drawn to this, because Bstone?

The MB-1 that I picked up awhile back rides great even being pretty small for me.

Yep, it had been repainted and is ok, a bit thick and pealy in a few places but hard to see. Needs about a $100 worth of decals and I'll figure it out. Really cool and came with some great parts, has some Big S Stumpy bars and stem that will get changed out so they can go on a Stumpy later. May put bullmoose on just because even though its after them.

On the hunt for a 70s 21" Motobecane Grand Record or Jubilee with Nervex lugs. I have a 23" silver and red Grand Jubilee frame to trade, campy dropouts, and a french threaded bb shell. No pics at the moment.

1991 PDG Series 3 Paramount Frameset Plus

NO LONGER LOOKING FOR A RALEIGH, BUT STILL NEED TO MOVE THIS ON. GOT ANYTHING INTERESTING TO TRADE?
Hi folks,
I have a 1991 PDG Series 3 Paramount frameset plus build components. Serial number, 1A03426. It’s 57cm square CTC. I acquired this a couple of years ago as an alternative to my extremely stiff 88 Paramount. The size, especially the seat tube, is at the upper limit for me. While the ride is/was much better than the Paramount, the high BB (11 inches) made mounting & dismounting a bit iffy with my short legs.

Some additional frame info: The fork, although unicrown, has fender eyelets indicating that it is not original. I did not experience any handling problems in the 200+ miles I put on it. A previous owner had sanded several areas (some large, some small) down to bare metal and then coated them with a thick flat black paint. When cleaning this off I didn’t find any rust. Nor did I find any in the head tube, seat tube or steerer. I did a “mediocre” job of touch up on these to prevent further rust and reduce the black & blue Holstein cow look. Also, I didn’t rub out the new paint, but as is it could probably pass the 15ft test. The frame comes with some Velo Cals decals if you would like to use them. They include white “Paramount” down tube decals, multi color “PDG Series 3” top tube decal and a head badge sticker with the championship stripes plus a red “P”.
Also, I have many of the parts I used for my build and will include them if wanted. It was built with bin parts. All functional, but nothing special. What’s missing: saddle, wheels, cassette, chain & consumables. The HS is a sturdy looking Hata Swan unit. The RD is an early Shimano 105. The FD is a A550, labeled “For narrow chain”. The brake calipers are also A550. The shifters are some scruffy, functional STI Soras, but I may have others. Several options for bars and stems mostly Sakae branded. The crankset has moved on, but I probably have something applicable as well as a sealed bearing BB. Also have a seat post. Basically, anything that will fit in the large frame box I have.


Thanks & regards,

Van

Shogun ninja and Carlton Raleigh gran course

Posting with a new account so I can't get photos uploaded until I post 10 or more times.. so I'm just gonna leave this here for now.
2 very awesome bikes.. both don't fit, the shogun is a large frame (62cm) and the Raleigh is smaller (56cm) definitely looking for new homes. Will get proper measurements and I'll respond to this post with photos when I can.

I would trade my Peugeot PX-10 frame set for a 21 inch Trek 750 Multitrack. It is 63.5 CM(25 inches)
Scratches and patina.
Similar frame sets from other makes considered. Let me know what you have.
