I inherited a frame builders leftover tubing. Plan to use some of it but have more than I need. It’s a mix of Reynolds 531 and early Columbus Have lots of seat and chainstays and since I don’t intend to build road bikes this isn’t super useful to me. Also have front triangle tubes of various diameter and butting. Probably want to keep most of that but if someone needs something for a repair or something let me know.
The reynolds( to my understanding) is not really good or safe for welding and is intended for lugged or fillet brazed construction. Also have some random older dropouts and fork ends.
Everything has signs of sitting around. Pretty dusty and some surface rust but still useable at least from my stand point.
Will post pics but just wanted to get this up. Message me for more info. I’m in. Oregon and happy to ship if you pay for it.

Here’s a link to a list of what I have. Some of it I’m keeping for some builds but I’d love to spread it around.

So the first image is a set of tubes that were ovalized for tandem top tubes. Then a bundle of seat stays straight but some tapered. Then fork crowns all 1” then tandem Bb shells then a big box of tube sets and 531 which I’m keeping most of. Then bbs all road some really nice cinelli and maybe campy. Then 1” threaded stere tubes and Then it’s a box of fork legs and chainstays. See the table for specifics.

Interesting old stuff - do you know what framebuilder it might have come from ?

Can I call dibs on that track tube set?
OK, So please take a look at the spreadsheet and tell me specifically what you want. I dont want to just shift a pile of stuff to someone and have it sit around like it has at my place, Id rather spread the love and get folks what they want. Little more work for me, but thats fine.
SO. Please DM me with your location, address and what you want. I plan to hang on to some of the 531 and the vitus tube set as well as the campy track dropouts and a few other bits, but all the seat and chainstays are up for grabs. As are the fork crowns and steer tubes, BTW thats all 1" threaded.
One person has called dibs on the Track Tubeset. I think thats it so far so please DM me and i’ll get you a shipping quote.

Got a lot of responses. I’ll start going through them tomorrow and get back to folks this week with what I will be shipping out and what it could cost. Need to find some boxes too.

I’m in Portland Oregon. I messaged you about them the other day. Not sure if you saw it. I’d love to come down and pick some up. Very interested in oval chain stays and small diameter stays, and all other 1" standard size main tubes, lugs, drop outs with eyes. Might save a lot of time and shipping.
Please let me know. Thanks
And Reynolds and Columbus fork blades, eyeleted fork ends, vertical rear drop outs with eyes or without, 1" threaded Reynolds and Columbus steer tubes.and fork crowns, the ones that look like “m”'s and the round bi plane style ones, the Hayden crown. Standard size tube sets, the ones that could be track or touring. All 531 blades and any other 531 tubes.
I hope you got my message. Don’t know how else to reach out to you.
