Here is a list of frame specials. All of these
are brand new, never built frames except where noted.
Reynolds
520 road racing
Black
with thin gold contour around the lugs. Lugged except at the bottom
bracket where it is tig welded. Very classic in appearance with
non-oversized tubing, it reminds me of English racers from the
seventies. I would recommend this one to a tall, light, recreational
rider without competitive background as I don’t expect it to be
very rigid. It should have good longevity though and is rather
light for such a classic frame.

COLNAGO
Bititan road racing
Black
with grey, white and yellow. Casino team colours with Art Decor
graphics. Titanium frame with double down tube and Master top
tube. It is the second generation titanium frame built by the
famous Italian factory, circa 1998. Ridden to victory by Abraham
Olano, Pavel Tonkov, Tony Rominger and others, it is an extremely
prestigious frame that will delight any cyclist. I don’t see how
you could not love this one, you would have to be very blasé indeed,
because it is responsive, fast and comfortable on bad surfaces.

Repainted
black because the light blue colour was unappealing. It is a used
frame with around 4000 km, although before the black paint job
it looked like it had only 100 km. Dates back to circa 1988. Of
course, being a Cannondale, it is oversized aluminum and very
rigid. Has « Vélotek » decals.

GURU
Flite road racing
Red
and black. Columbus Aluthron tubing is a thicker modern generation
aluminum tubing that is not quite as light as the most aggressive
and more expensive aluminum tubings, but it is rigid and will
appeal to heavier riders. Has teardrop shaped Megatube downtube.

Black.
Aero aluminum tubing, teardrop shaped top and down tubes, with
characteristic aero shaped seat tube with an inwardly curve that
looks like a hiding place for the front of the rear wheel, although
the rear tire won’t actually go quite that far. It has the typical
angles of those kinds of frames, around 75 degrees, as opposed
to the angles currently found on a medium road racing frame which
would be 73-74. It is not meant to be a regular training/racing
road bike, it is more specifically meant to sport a time trial
handlebar of some kind. It accepts a braze-on type front derailleur.

Reynolds
853 mountain bike
Electric
blue. 853 main triangle with conventional round shape tubing and
Ritchey rear drop-outs. For those of you who want a light frame
and a light price but want a steel frame, this is a winner. Reynolds
keeps the 853 recipe a secret. It is air hardened steel alloy
that is probably not chromoly, but a different variety of alloy
that could or not be close to that. One thing is for sure, though,
853 has gained an enviable reputation and is used by many well-known
companies both for mountain and road bikes.

Pearl
white. Ishiwata triple butted chromoly. Classic lugged road racing
steel frame with horizontal rear drop-outs, although with a rear
monostay and rear braze-on fittings for rear rack. Its proportions
will be appropriate for a woman with short legs and relatively
long torso. A generic threaded headset is already installed (and
the fork as well)and included in the price. This frame was built
for Norco of Canada but it doesn’t have the Norco decals, only
the tubing decals.

Double
butted chrome-moly road racing
The
colour is black, but with discreet sparkles mixed in. Classic
lugged road racing steel frame with Tange rear drop outs, a pump
peg and welded cable guides under the bottom bracket. It may not
be your high zoot ultra-modern ultra-light frame, but it can be
surprisingly pleasant, will last long and is very inexpensive.
It comes with the fork already installed and a generic headset
also installed and included in the price. It is designed for long
reach brakes and we offer them to you at a special price (Tektro
dual pivot : 40 $ cad instead of 66 $ cad for the set) IF
YOU BUY THEM WITH THE FRAME. This frame was built for Norco
of Canada but has no decals.

This
is a sober green paint job that reveals brick red hues when it
is in the sun. Classic lugged steel frame. Tange Prestige main
triangle with Ritchey rear drop outs. This is a very large frame.
Don’t bother if you are not a very tall person.

GURU
Nemo road racing
Red.
Columbus Nemo nivachrom steel with teardrop shaped megatube downtube.
Will accept downtube SIS shifters as well as STI (of course).
This one was yours truly for two seasons (about 7000 km), never
raced, never crashed. Only shows normal wear. Weight 1630 g. Not
as light as Columbus Foco, but lighter than classic steel frames.
Built for me in 1999. Optional Look fork was chosen for its light
weight, and is one-inch threaded with chrome-moly steerer.

OR WITHOUT FORK.
