This lovely compact, lightweight French made frameset sports the name of a bike shop from the Colombelles area of France. With French threaded headset and bottom bracket and weighing in at just over 2.1 kgs for the frame and fork it is likely to be made of a high end tube set, possibly from Vitus, as the thin-wall butted tubing and 26.8 seat post size backs this up. With a multi-coloured and black paintjob that screams 1980s this is sure to make a wonderful bike once built.

48cm Unbranded Roberts Badged Vintage Road Bike Frame

✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Super lightweight for the era - only 2.3 kg!

This nicely made lightweight road frame came to us with the remnants of Roberts decals on it, we're not convinced it is a Roberts, however we are convinced it'd make a great winter bike or commuter. With minimal lugs, a low weight and a 27.2 mm seat post size it's obviously a top-end frame, and the mudguard eyelets and decent tyre clearance make it a practical choice for a speedy commuter build too!

Though perhaps not the best well known of the French builders, LeJeune were a small but high quality outfit producing bikes for Tour winners and discerning amateur customers alike. Out of their factory in Paris, LeJeune also mass-produced road and city bikes from the 1950s into the 1980s. The LeJeune branded bikes ridden by the professional teams or for custom orders were often built by the famed constructeur Bernard Carre to a very high quality.

52.5cm Benotto Vintage Road Bike Frame
£545.00
✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.5 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping
Benotto have an enviable race pedigree having been ridden to World Championship, one day classic and stage race victories by such legends as Francesco Moser and Freddy Maertens. Like other top Italian marques a Benotto is often instantly recognisable by the colour, the ‘Champagne’ grey finish being used for their top bikes for many years. As well as producing finely made race bikes in Italy Benotto produced frames in Mexico and were extremely popular in South America. Benotto are also well known for their shiny bar tape which was available in a wide range of colours and was extremely popular through the 70s and 80s.
This high end frame set is more than likely one of the Italian built ones from a time when Benottos were producing a lot of their models in Mexico. The Columbus SLX tube set was the best available at the time and the frame has all the hallmarks of a top end race bike with the typically racy geometry Benotto are renowned for. The blue and white paint job with World Champion stripe decals is pure 80s and though the fork is we suspect a replacement the chrome matches the rest very nicely.
If you're taking part in L'Eroica or any other vintage event, this frame is of the correct age, so you won't be disqualified for being a rule breaker!

52cm Chesini Gran Premio Vintage Road Bike Frame
£535.00
✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 3 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping
Chesini have been building bikes by hand in Veneto since the 1920s, and are still today custom building some technologically advanced, finely crafted steel frames. The company grew from humble origins and had a period of racing success through the 1960s, choosing to concentrate fully on hand-built custom bikes shortly after. Chesini built some incredibly beautiful but also innovative frames, the X-Uno was one of the first frames to route all of the cables internally and their patented 'Innovation' frames dropped the top tube for a stiffer front triangle.
Although the Gran Premio was the entry level bike in Chesini's line up, it was still built by one of the most innovative small scale builders in Italy, which is quite a statement. The Gran Premio was produced through the 1960s right up until today, and like all of Chesini's bikes since the 1970s, custom sizes, paint and braze-on options were available.
Built from Columbus SL, this frame dates from the mid 1980s. With typical Chesini attention to detail and the famous engraved head tube logo, it shares the DNA of a super bike but for a more wallet friendly price. This compact, reasonably subtle (for Chesini!) frame will build up into a lovely quality period Italian road 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!

52cm Olmo Competition Aero Leader Vintage Road Bike Frame
£625.00
✓ Original vintage frame - built in the 1980s
✓ Lightweight for the era - just 2.6 kg
✓ Suitable for historic cycling events such as L'Eroica
✓ Thoroughly checked over & photographed in detail
✓ Worldwide shipping
Established in Italy in 1939, Olmo are still producing bicycles today, however their heyday of technologically advanced, lightweight race winning bikes was through the 70s and 80s. Guiseppe 'Gepin' Olmo was a very quick rider in his day, at one point holding the hour record, and as was the standard career trajectory of the time once he retired he started a bike brand bearing his name. The Olmo company grew quickly and diversified into other industries through the years, and whilst they produced a large number of bikes they were responsible for building some incredibly high end ones too.
Introduced to the world around 1984, the Competition Aero Leader combined Olmo's top of the range Competition frame details with the (at the time) revolutionary aerodynamic features of a shaped fork crown, aero shaped seat stays and top mounted shifters. Built from lightweight Columbus tubing these higher end models were available in whatever configuration the customer wanted and there seems to be a wide variety of colours, decals, braze-ons and features to choose from. The neat internal routing of the rear brake cable and internal 'round the bottom bracket axle' gear cable routing combine to make this a very sleek machine that looks fast standing still.
Combining a number of interesting details, this frame still sports its original paint job (with some touch ups) and what looks like all of the optional frame details available at the time: Air fork crown; internally routed rear brake cable, aero shaped seat stays, top mounted aero gear shifters with internal routing, two sets of water bottle holes and Campagnolo Portacatena dropouts. These details seem to indicate a fairly early bike in the run of the Aero Leader even if the serial number puts it later - Olmo can be one of those brands that are hard to pin down to a certain year!
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!
