FS: Clarks of Harrow frameset, Lots of Parts, Nitto, Velo Orange, etc

[Dan Bracey]

Well, my wife says it is time to get all of the unused bike parts out of our tiny apartment.  Here is a long list of parts, including an interesting frame.  There should be links to images for each part.  The whole gallery is here:

I'll try to update the list as things sell.  You can either pick them up from my apt if you are in NYC, otherwise paypal to dlbr...@gmail.com is preferred and buyer will pay actual shipping cost (as cheap as possible).  I'm leaving the country for two weeks on Sept 2, so I'll try to ship as much as possible before I leave, otherwise you'll have to wait until I'm back on Sept 19:

Clark's of Harrow 56 cm Reynolds 531 Lugged Frameset

I purchased this frame last October from a Bike Forums member.  The frame (even with the paint imperfections) is beautiful, just too small for me.  The photos that I've included are of the way it was built up by the previous owner.  I rode the bike twice since I've own the frame.

From the resarch I have done, Clark's of Harrow was a cycle shop in Harrow, London in the 1950s-60s.  It is not clear to me if Clark's of Harrow produced their own frames or if they branded frames from other London builders.  One London builder, Wally Green, built frames for Ivor Clark of Harrow during this time period, so it is possible that this is a Wally Green made frame from the late 1950s. You can read more about Wally Green here:

The frameset has a 56cm seat tube (c-t) and a 56 cm top tube. Chain stays are 17". I think the photos show the condition reasonably well--some chips all around but particularly on the left-side chain stay, but the finish overall is in quite good shape and the lug lining is well preserved. Reynolds 531 db tubing, Simplex rear dropouts. 

Price is $150 plus actual shipping cost.  Sale includes frame, fork, seatpost, and Campy headset (which has some external pitting, but bearing surfaces are good).

Dan: since the Model 5 is now on sale for $65 at VO, would you
consider selling yours for $50 shipped to 87120? If so, I'll take it.

Thanks, Patrick

A billion stars go spinning through the night
Blazing high above your head;
But in you is the Presence that will be
When all the stars are dead.
