  • Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: Getting quite a few PMs about main triangle 531 frames - I need forks, triangle and stays to be full 531.

    Cheers!

  • This will be for sale very soon.

    58/9cm x 57cm from memory

  • £62 gets you this 59cm square frameset:

    Comes with headset, bottom bracket and a simplex seatpost.

  • Thanks guys, looking for a frame with English threading to make sourcing parts easier.

    Also late 70s to early 90s ideally!

  • That's exactly what mine is :)

    Appreciat that it might not be to your tastes though

  • Doesn't yours have French threading on headset and BB?

    Looking for something a little more inconspicuous to be honest...

    Thank you very much though and GLWS

  • Both headset and BB are french threaded indeed.

    French threaded parts do get the reputation of being 'hard to come by'but Velo Orange produces brand new french threaded headsets and bottom brackets.

    Other options include BB rethreading to BSA (about £20 from Fitzrovia Bikes) or using a treadless bottom bracket (about £15 for a YST sealed one).

    Both headset and BB fitted to the frame are in good working order - how often do you actually change a headset anyway ;-)

    Good luck with the hunt, there is a wide choice on LFGSS

    Yep it's a little bit bling a chrome frame, not very subtle I must admit :)

    Good luck with your hunt matey

    The orange one is still available if you're interested.

  • I have a very nice Motobecane 531 frame and forks 59.5 cm ctc top tube . Slight dent in tt and needs good clean little rust and grease. Downside French threads - upside £25 collected from High Barnet.
    All the Best
