Pedal Fixing - 'standard' toe clips fix to the front of the pedals, most will be of this type and work with both quill & platform pedals providing they have mounting holes in the correct place. There are also 'aero' ones that attach to the top, and side fixing versions too. 'Wide platform' fixings are similar to standard ones but the fixing holes are almost 3 inches apart.

Toe Strap Type - most toe clips are designed to accept a single toe strap, but there are some less common ones that allow two toe straps to be fitted.

Length - this is measured from the fixing end to the toe end at the most extreme points, the same way the manufacturers measure and we use this to recommend the fit if there's no size stamped on them. All length measurements are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm.

Distance Between Fixing Bolts - we measure this distance from the centre of one hole to the next (ctc), this usually only needs to be close, not exact, providing the holes on the toe clips are oblong shaped to allow a decent amount of wiggle room (most toe clips are made this way).

Width - the total width at its widest point, from end to end, rounded to the nearest 5 mm.

Clamp Size - this should match the internal diameter of your handlebar stem clamp, and should be as close as possible to ensure a good and safe fit.

Grip Diameter - the outside diameter of the area where handlebar grips are fitted, this determines not only what grips will fit but brake levers too so it's important to check if you have a specific setup in mind.

Rise/Drop - we measure this at the end of the bars, from the centre point of the clamp area to the centre of the end. This measurent can change when the bar is rotated so there is a bit of tolerance here, please use this as an approximate measurement only.

55.5cm Peugeot PL-8 Vintage French Steel Road Bike Frame Set

Peugeot are perhaps the best known mass producers of bicycles and have a long and illustrious history. Cycles Peugeot began producing Penny Farthings in 1886, quickly moving with the technological advancements of the day and becoming one of the world's largest and most successful bike builders through the post war period and bike boom years. With an astonishing 500 models of bike available in the 1970s Peugeot were ubiquitous in Europe and North America, sales were aided by ongoing success with the factory professional team which won an unprecedented 10 Tour de France titles. The company strived to use French built parts on all of its bikes for many years, and there are many brilliant examples of their bikes fully decked out with parts from Stronglight, Simplex and Mavic.

We believe this is a 1961 Peugeot PL-8 in original 'Italian Blue' colour. The paintwork and decals all look orignal and are in pretty good order for a bike over 60 years old. Designed for every day use, the PL-8 had 4 gears at the rear and a double chainset up front with comfortable swept back handlebars, the sort of bike that was once ubiquitous on the streets of any French city. With a neatly designed rear rack, mudguards and integrated dynamo lights included this will make a super town bike, commuter or period porteur bike.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

53.5cm Ciocc Designer 84 Vintage Italian Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£360.00 £450.00

✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

Ciöcc bagan in the 1970s when ex-racer Giovanni Pelizzoli turned his hand to building high quality frames in Northern Italy. Pelizzoli is considered one of the greatest frame-builders of his generation and many Ciöcc were raced through the 70s and 80s. The top of the range bikes were named after successes in San Cristobel in 1977 and the 1980 Moscow Olympics (the Mockba '80) though there were no doubt many other victories on rebranded Ciöcc frames too as was the norm at the time. Pelizzoli parted company with the brand some time in the 1980s but the company continued building with the knowledge he had imparted to them and they still make bikes (albeit far different ones!) today.

Although this delightfully finished frame has none of the trademark Ciocc pantographs or engravings, the details match those of the Designer 84 model it's badged as. With a very neat black to dark purple metallic fade paint job with chromed rear triangle and fork, this is a very well put together frame. The lugs and small frame details are all in line with other Ciocc frames of the period too. Internal rear brake routing and a braze-on for the front mech date it to the mid 1980s, and it has obviously led an easy life up to now.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

56cm Henry Burton Vintage British Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£260.00 £325.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.8 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail

A Staffordshire institution, Henry Burton cycles have been building and selling bikes out of their small shop since 1950. Henry and his wife Joyce were both keen cyclists; Joyce became national road champion in 1950 and Henry started to build custom frames from their shop around the same time, the shop is still a family business with the third generation now involved. Specialising in lightweight road machines with hand cut lugs, Henry Burton custom frames were sold alongside less glamourous frames built by contract builders.

We believe this interesting road frame to be from the early 1970s, and was likely built by Henry Burton at the shop in Stafford as a custom order. With lightened hand-cut long-point lugs, an unusual drilled fork crown and wrap-over seat stays, it is not a standard frame by any means. It's a handsome frame in good original condition, ready to be put back together and given a good run out.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

An important character in the South London cycling scene, Ken Bird was a master wheel-builder, team mechanic and shop owner who, along with his brother Alec, pushed the boundaries of frame manufacture. Starting with Claud Butler in the 1950s, Ken went on to manage a shop for Hinds and then Clive Stuart Cycles, he was the British team mechanic for three years until 1968, the year Tom Simpson died during the race. Though legend has it Ken and Alec were not exactly the best of friends, it is thought that Alec built some frames branded Ken Bird, with other local builders including Holdsworth and Roberts known to have built others. Ken Bird had a reputation in the 1970s for pushing how light a competitive TT machine could be, with lugs, frame tubes and components all heavily modified, drilled and lightened.

This early 1970s TT machine has all the hallmarks of a high end, lightweight TT bike as was typical of the race-winning machines Ken Bird were producing at the time. With a two digit 'BBC" frame number, drilled bottom bracket and rear dropout plus neatly brazed-on brake bolts, this was a machine built purely for performance. Fastback seat stays, a sloping fork crown and minimal lugs also indicate the high quality of this frame, and although the re-spray is not perfect, it could easily look like the top of the range bike it once was.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

52cm Lapierre Porteur Vintage French Steel Step-Through Bike Frame Set

£180.00 £225.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1960s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Though most recently known for their successful mountain bike range and race teams, Lapierre have been building bikes for 75 years. Starting in 1946 in Dijon by Gaston Lapierre, the firm was passed to his son Jacky in 1960, with his son Gilles in turn taking over in 1996. One of the first French brands to jump on board the MTB craze in the mid 80s, Lapierre have become synonymous with world-beating race machines, with ten times MTB champion Nicolas Vouilloz piloting their bikes. Unlike some of their contemporaries Lapierre did not get involved with professional road racing until quite late on, but by the early 2000s were having a great deal of success. From a small family business in the 1950s, Lapierre grew with the bike boom and in 1993 were bought out by the huge conglomerate Accell who also now own Raleigh, Batavus and Koga.

We believe this lovely Lapierre step-through frame set dates back to the 1960s and is a classic 'Porteur' style bike, built for practicality and function. Designed for 650B wheels with rear drum brake and front cantilever, this would have been the equivalent of the decked out company car for someone. Complete with the stunning original polished chrome chainguard, super wide mudguards and rear rack this will make a stylish commuter or, with the addition of a front porteur rack, it would no doubt be capable of carrying a decent load around town, just like orginally intended.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

Owen Blower was a successful British racer in the late 1950s who went on to start a shop in Leicester, selling bikes bearing his name until the 1980s. Racing predominately in Britain, Owen took the title of Best British All Rounder (BBAR) and set a new 12 hour time trial record that would stand for 9 years in 1958. Owen also went on to race across the continent, including the Peace Race, and finished 5th overall in the 1959 Milk Race. His shop in Leicester sold British built lightweights, specialising in time trial machines which were built by contract builders including Mike Kowal of Autostrada.

This neat 1970s Blower branded road frame was probably built by Mike Kowal at Autostrada. With Campagnolo ends, long-point lugs and a Reynolds 531 tube set this is a solid frame that will build into a super every day bike. The original transfers are showing their age but could be cleaned off and replaced fairly easily.

Seat Tube (ctc) - we measure from the centre of the bottom bracket shell up to the centre line of the top tube to give a consistent measurement regardless of frame design (ctc means centre to centre).

Top Tube (ctc) - this is measured from the centre of the head tube to the centre of the seat tube, along the centre of the top tube.

Chainstay Length - measured from the centre of the bottom bracket shell to the centre point of the rear dropout.

Wheelbase - measured from the centre of the front fork dropout to the centre point of the rear dropout.

Front & Rear Spacing - measured from the inside of one dropout to the other. The dropouts on steel frames can be stretched or squeezed a few mm but it's always best to avoid this if possible, aluminium or carbon frames should never be stretched.

Brake Drop - measured using wheels of the relevant size for the frame, as stated in the technical info section.

Headset Threads - although it's generally recommended to match threaded parts exactly, with headsets you can technically mix and match, unless you have French or the obscure old Raleigh threads, in which case you need to stick to that type.

59cm Carlton Contre La Montre c.1972 Vintage British Steel Road Bike Frame Set

£260.00 £325.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1970s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping

Founded in the latter part of the 19th Century, Carlton managed almost 100 years of bicycle manufacturing in the East Midlands. They were amongst the most sought after and readily available British bikes of the 1930s, thanks to some nifty salesmanship from Dan O'Donovan who was to later take over the company, and whose son Gerald became a frame designing legend. Following a buy-out by Raleigh in 1960 and a rebrand for the US market to 'Raleigh-Carlton' the company grew and grew through the bike boom with the doors finally shutting at their Worksop factory in 1981.

Introduced in 1971 and only in the catalogue for a couple of years before Raleigh took over the company, the Contre La Montre was conceived as a lightweight time trial machine - the name is French for 'against the watch'. A frame only option, built from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing with wrap-over stays and Carlton's exclusive lightweight fork crown, it was a true race machine.

The frame number on this Conte La Montre dates it to 1972, and it received a good quality re-spray at some point in the past. With part-chromed forks and rear stays, silver bands on a pearly white paint, this is a handsome bike that could be built as is, although as the paint and chrome are now a little tired, a full restoration would really make it shine again.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

52cm Unbranded 'Donna' NOS Vintage Steel Step-Through Bike Frame Set

£292.00 £365.00

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Worldwide shipping

These lovely quality 'Donna' dropped top tube race frames have never been finished or built up, and are available here in their raw state ready for painting. With their internal cable routing, fine lug-work and neat finishing they were obviously built by a talented frame shop, although we are unsure exactly who this was. The frames also feature downtube shifter bosses, a braze on front mech mount, neat dynamo light cable guides, mudguard eyelets and a pump peg. Chromed on the rear dropouts and drive side chainstay, and with a chromed fork they will look fantastic with a single colour or more adventurous paint job.

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or a similar vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

Rim Size - this should match the size your bike frame is designed to fit. Standard/full size tubulars only come in one wheel size, these are often referred to as 28" or 700c (sometimes even 27"). These are all the same size, the next size down is 26", so any rims larger than 26" will be standard/full size tubulars.

Bike Type - this is really just a guide, as technically any wheels can be used on any bike as long as everything's compatible. Within reason of course - we wouldn't recommend riding a set of skinny tubular road wheels down a mountain!

Drilling (F/R) - the number of spokes in each wheel (front/rear).

Spacing (O.L.D.) (F/R) - the width of the hubs measured at their widest point, from the outside of the locking end nuts (O.L.D. = Over Locknut Dimension), not including the hub axle. These measurements need to match the inside of your frame and fork’s dropouts. Steel frames can be stretched or squeezed a few mm but it's always best to avoid this if possible, aluminium or carbon frames should never be stretched.

Speed - the number of cogs the rear hub was designed to be used with.

Sprocket Fitting - for cassette hubs this refers to the spline pattern (the shape of the cogs where they slide on to the hub) and this must match the cassette you intend to use. With freewheel hubs it refers to the thread, ISO is the modern standard and is almost exactly the same as older English/British and Italian thread, allowing you to mix and match between these thread types as long as it's not going to be under extreme force, in which case it's best to stick to an exact match. Freewheel hubs with a French thread must be used with a French threaded freewheel.

Rim Size - this should match the size your bike is designed to fit. Standard/full size tubulars only come in one wheel size, these are often referred to as 28" or 700c (sometimes even 27"). These are all the same size, the next size down is 26", so any rim larger than 26" will be a standard/full size tubular.

Bike Type - this is really just a guide, as technically any wheel can be used on any bike as long as everything's compatible. Within reason of course - we wouldn't recommend riding a skinny tubular road wheel down a mountain!

Drilling - the number of spokes in the wheel.

Spacing (O.L.D.) - the width of the hub measured at its widest point, from the outside of the locking end nuts (O.L.D. = Over Locknut Dimension), not including the hub axle. This measurement needs to match the inside of your fork's dropouts. Steel forks can be stretched or squeezed a few mm but it's always best to avoid this if possible, aluminium or carbon forks should never be stretched.

Size - this is the manufacturer’s sizing and must match the size or your wheel. This can be confusing as tyres have had different sizing systems over the years, and there are many (sometimes conflicting) sizes available. For this reason it’s important to check the ISO diameter too for clarification, especially for 26” wheels.

Bike Type - the type of bike the tyre was designed to be used on. Road tyres will generally be narrow with minimal tread, touring tyres wider with a bit more grip in the tread, and cyclocross & MTB tyres wider still (especially the latter), with a much more pronounced tread pattern.

ISO Diameter - this relates to the diameter of the wheel rim at the point where the tyre is seated (bead seat diameter). This is a universal measurement, often displayed on tyres as 28-622 or similar, 28 referring to the tyre width and 622 being the ISO diameter in millimetres.

TPI - stands for threads per inch and refers to the thread count of the tyre casing. A high thread count usually means a more supple and lighter tyre, this can be anything as high as 320 tpi. We can’t always provide this information however, as it’s not always possible to know for sure.
