Your post count is very low. That coupled with the scant detail of the frames and their history, and what you want to do with them sets off these two likely reactionsGTR089 wrote:... seems my post has drawn no interest at all
as from many, many, past experiences, the generous time and thought from the experienced forum members has led to quick profiteering on ebay using the information given here.
so give us some backstory, and some photos and your intentions and it might elicit some response.

Bike restorer = what the Americans call a 'flipper' = ebay seller
Bike Collector is better.
Do you have photos of how the bikes appeared before they were refinished?
in the other thread you posted about these bikes, you were given the link as to how photos are able to be displayed. If the link is awkward it, we lose interest.
Mario helped you out last time.
my turn. single image first
then for a link to the album: album link

There seems to have been a conga line of bike I.D. threads on here in the last few weeks. All of them are very similar so there's not a lot of enthusiasm for new ones at the moment. As well, semi quality frames with little or no markings to help identify them are not very inspiring to the average collector who frequents this place. This is because one of the problems with identifying frames is that if they don't literally have a brand name engraved on them, pantographing if you weren't aware, it's very hard for anyone to tell what it is. Throw in the fact that there's hundreds if not thousands of frame makers and brands and it gets harder and harder. If you were hoping for someone on here to identify a blank frame then you're hoping for too much in the end. Generally most of us trawl through here and Google first before we give in to asking. The more you search the more you learn yourself.
If you were asking for advice on where to look for info we'd probably be on page 2 by now. As for seeking profit I wouldn't take any notice of that because I think you'll find everyone on here wheels and deals a little bit. It's normal and goes with bike collecting. Face it, all of us acquire stuff we don't want on the way to getting what we want so we sell it.
As Scot suggested, give us a bit of background and lets see what you've got. Great to hear you're a collector as well but be careful with comments like this one:-
"but seriously communication is wofull"
Give us a break, this place isn't Central Station. Remember these things; somethings take days to happen not minutes or hours, there's no such thing as a "bicycle expert", we're just enthusiasts like yourself, there aren't hundreds of us and we all have lives to live as well.
Cheers
Chris

I like that tange frame more than the Reynolds frame. Research the apparent builder and let us know what you come up with.
The real world is great, but you'll probably find a lot more 'virtual' people with the knowledge you seek.
You just need to give it a bit more time, and not get all antsy when you don't get the answers you want in two days.
Welcome to the Internet. Enjoy your stay.

Yes. got to agree, not a Paino I think. Just given the 'flattening' treatment at the rear dropout junction and the huge breather holes in stay tubes and brake bridge it says production line.grantw wrote:A Paino? Doubt it. Looks like a mid range Japanese factory frame with an awful paint job to me
Not something Frank would have let out of the shop I feel.
Paint looks OK to me if you like that sort of thing.
