Harry Quinn 531ST Touring/Audax bike 57cm ST, 56cm TT

Hi, I have to part with this cherished bike.
I got the frame with a random selection of bits and the paint was in such bad condition I took it to Armourtex for a powdercoat and did a full rebuild. I just didn't have the money to splash out on a full respray from argos or such like.

I've barely ridden it due to lack of time the past couple of years and I now need to space and the money.

excuse the cheapo black high-rise stem, a bit ugly but comfy.
Part list:
Old but very smooth headset (recently repacked)
Turbo saddle (old saddle)
Shimano canti brakes
Velo Orange mudguards
ITM 44cm bars
Seatpost, it's got a V logo on it, can't remember what it was, pretty standard 27mm.
Campag Mirage front derailleur
Nice looking bottle cage, there's mounts for another under the down tube.
Sram Apex Groupset (+£300 installed)
Mavic Aksium wheels + Conti Gator Hardshell tires (+£140)
Shimano SPD pedals (+£30)

Bad points: I suspect a small crack on the drive side drop out, may have to take it to a frame builder to have a look at it.

I would like £250£160 for the partial build listed above, £700 including all the modern parts that are practically brand new.

Would make a great audax/light touring bike or a great porteur/town bike. Could also be quite good for cyclocross, but you might want some other forks with more clearance.

Update:
I've used most parts on my GF's bike.
I'm now selling the frame with it's mudguards, a smooth headset, F/R brakes, seatpost and beater saddle (not Turbo pictured), Shimano cable stoppers for brifters.
All that, for £200!

price drop, £170

Jesus christ! price drop £160

that's lovely, alas alack for I am skint.

Take some more pics, minus stem and hold yer guns. It's a bargain frame only at that price!

Sympathy bump.

That is a beaut! Sadly too big for me, but good look getting rid. Or sell summat else and keep it?

I will do, stem really ruins it

Do you have a serial number? This would help date the frame

Nice frame. 531ST with a pc paintjob is a Bike for Life. You can do it all with a frame like this, would make a great commuteur hack, front rack mounts too. Begging for a dynamo hub and upright bars.

GLWS

yeah, had I space for it, I'd take the shot.

FFS just bought a croix de fer frame. Such a bargain

So tempting. Any more pics of just the frameset?

Lovely! do you know the frame number?

PM'd the other day, is this guy still available?

yes still available, just replied to your pm's, sorry been quite busy, I'll take more pics later

Hey, Can I see a picture of the dent?

If that's a crack it looks scary.
Do bring it to a frame builder for a checkup.

I would, I doubt it would cost very much, just a case of heating is up and fill in the crack. It's just a shame about the paint.

still available, £155
Brakes, Mudguards, headset, seatpost all in almost new condition included.

£145, or swap for a similar frame designed for caliber brakes. Can't do any lower than that, I'll just keep it for decoration (please don't let me do that!)

This will be on sale at lmnh's bike jumble tomorrow, pop by if you're interested.

Bike jumble was a waste of time, almost no-one turned up. I want to see this gone, so big price drop for someone who will get it fixed and build something beautiful with it.
