I am after a 70's or 80's good quantity road bike for a restoration project. Condition isn't really an issue. Needs to be 59-60 cm frame, 531 or Columbus equivalent. Ideally, I would like to restore the machine of a retired cyclist, to breath new life into the bike and get it back on the road. Anything considered but would prefer a 'Brit bike'.
Thanks for looking.

Hi I have a large Dawes Stratos belonging to my Uncle who retired from cycling , bit of a legend, ... it's 531 tubing, shimano sis groupset , I did a refurb some years back but it needs a good home now.
this is when I'd almost finished ( no chain!)

don't suppose you'd still have the frames @robbodred?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
