52cm Arrow Super Arrow Vintage Road Bike Frame

✓ 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

Though we are not too sure who Arrow are, this pretty blue Arrow branded race frame is very nice indeed. The low weight is achieved by using top of the range Columbus SLX tubing, slender lugs and a racy Cinelli 'spoiler' bottom bracket shell. This compact little Italian road bike would look bellissima with a full Campagnolo build.

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!

The frame's been carefully checked by one of our mechanics to confirm the alignment's correct and there's no damage to the threads. If there are any minor issues worth noting we will do so in the overview section below. Please take a good look at the detailed photos so you can see the cosmetic condition of the frame before you buy.
