Hi All,
I have three projects on the go and have grossly underestimated the time, money and space required so would like to pass this on.
Apart from tyres I think it's all original parts including
531c frame - decals largely intact - 58cm square
531 chrome forks
Tange headset
Siguino cranckset
Suntour cyclone mechs
Weinmann brakes and levers
Sakae custom road champion bars
SR stem and seatpost
Normandy hubs (6 speed rear)
Not sure of rims
Condition wise there are a few issues but nothing interminable
It is spattered with rust here and there, nothing that wouldn't clean up I don't think. Worst of it is on the top tube pictured below
Someone has unsuccessfully tried to remove the dust caps on the cranks so the outer buts remain.
The brake cables and the front shifter cables were shot and have been removed. The rear shifter is still intact (and shifting) but should probably be replaced.
Rear tyre has a puncture
No seat
Have checked and the seatpost isn't seized thankfully.
Wheels are in decent condition however the spokes are a little rusty
Wouldn't take too much to restore it to its former glory or upgrade
Pick up from N4, in current condition it couldn't be ridden away but I'm happy to meet people at either Finsbury Park, Canonbury or Stoke Newington overground this weekend if they need to take it home on the train.
Alternatively, all it needs to get running are brake cables and the rear puncture fixed/tube replaced
Not sure how to price this. I paid £120 for it but was unaware of some of the issues with it so will go for £100 but let me know if I'm off
Any questions or more info needed, ask away
No posting, sorry
